Recommendation Toyota work in ChCh

[GregT]

Daughter's Starlet needs cambelt plus probably waterpump. Do we use dealer or can anyone recommend a workshop? 

I don't have the space or energy to do it myself.

Thanks

I won’t particularly recommend  the workshop at my workplace / dealership because I don’t want to be biased but I am happy to a do a cash trade deal on genuine parts for you. Send me a message if you’re interested Greg

Depends where you are located too. I trust my local workshop but that might be quite far from local to you.

And relax. She's decided she doesn't want to hang around ChCh so is going back home and will get it done in Oamaru.

Had a listen and i'm picking it's a noisy waterpump - but she'll get the cambelt done at the same time.

Side topic but I've ported Yamaha heads - 2,4 and 5 valve. And toyota 2 and 4 valve. Very similar problems suggesting a corporate design policy.

Basically up until current product, too big inlets and too small exhausts. Really exacerbated on the 5v's.

While the topic has kinda turned to Toyota parts, anyone know where I can get a set of 6 of these? 1989 Celica I'm sorting out to sell for my son.

have you tried the local Toyota dealership ?
many items are genuinely cheaper than aftermarket.... or importing from outsource suppliers of genuine

Someone who works at Toyota posted in this thread, so that would be a good place to start.

Then Amayama.

This may be cheaper and faster however.

Thanks for your replies. As GuyWithAviators said, theres none in NZ, 2 - 3 weeks from Japan. Amayama approx half price and shipping is cheap.

How do you tag someone with the blue oblong thing?
