Affordable service for motorists

THE thrill of owning a new car wanes after a few years when the warranty runs out and one is faced with high service costs.

Parts can be prohibitively expensive and can leave a hole in your pocket.

Some motor companies have responded and put in place affordable options to help cash-strapped motorists.

One of these is Toyota South Africa Motors’ (TSAM).

TSAM now offers discounted servicing for all Toyota vehicles older than five years – irrespective of year, mileage or model – throughout the local dealer network.

Toyota Value Service (TVS) offers vehicle owners a guaranteed minimum of 10% discount on replacement parts as well as on engine coolant, brake fluid, differential oil and gearbox oil.

There is also a capped labour rate when taking their cars in for servicing.

Among many benefits, this gives owners the opportunity to maintain a full service history and keep their cars genuine, safe and reliable through the exclusive use of genuine parts.

Servicing is carried out by certified technicians whose expertise is complemented by high-tech diagnostic equipment.

All workmanship and parts carry a 12-month warranty while service is done in accordance with the prescribed schedules – including inspection of safety critical items, as well as all routine adjustment and lubrication.
