EW, who do you take your car for service? Hopefully not Bespoke Motorsports :eek::eek::shakes head::shakes head:

https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a4...on-test-drive/

unfortunately the supra has a 10,000 mile mandatory service which must be taken to a toyota dealership and obviously some dealerships are better and trustworthy than others, and even though it could be several hours, i tend to stay with the car at the dealership.:icon14:

1. Does the 10K mandatory service expire by a certain mileage or time limit?
2. And when you say you tend to stay with the car, do you watch from a waiting room window or do you literally watch over the mechanic's shoulder?
3. Dead @$$ question: If you took your car to Lexus or BMW, could they service your car?

1. The 10K mile service is set on a mileage timer and at the rate im going it'll be 3 to 4 years before I hit 10K miles.

2. I wait in the lobby, the cool thing here in south florida, i dont know if all dealerships do it, but there are several cameras in the autiobay live streaming so customers can see their vehicles. So with this last time I was there, I literally watched the mechanic drive out with it, I was right there waiting on him.

3. Not sure if Lexus/BMW could service it to be honest, thats a good question I'd like to know myself. I do know that not any toyota mechanic can work on the car, you have to be certified Supra mechanic.

Good Sunday Morning All. A chilly 42* to start the day with a high of 63* and 0% chance of rain again. :icon14: The last two Divisional Playoff later on today. Going with the Bills and my Cowboys.

I suppose that makes sense about the certified Supra mechanic, but then theoretically, a BMW mechanic that specializes in servicing a Z4 should be able to work on the Supra? Just for sh!ts and giggles, I'm gonna call a local BMW service dept. about this.

I wonder what Toyota would say if someone with a LFA pulled up for their routine service.

I try to stay away from dealerships unless its absolutely imperative (like warranty work)..

however, this last time i pulled the supra in the reception area.. i turned it off, then a few minutes later one of the guys had me move it, so I had to start her up.. and she's LOUD, I usually get a pop and a bang on start up.. and this lady with her kids was sitting in the area, she says to me, that your car? Im like yeah.. she's like daaang thats loud, it almost scared me. :icon17:

Everyone falls for this trap. Too many people, including myself when I was much younger, where they try to Hulk Smash way too much weight.

In other words, one has to be a BMW certified mechanic to work on it?

It’s ok, imagine spending $150,000 on a Z06 and having the pimple faced kid that changes the oil on the Malibus learning on the job….

Most Harley Davidson dealers flat out refuse to work on any bike of theirs older than 9 years old.

So I called 2 BMW's Service Departments today in the area (BMW of Tampa and BMW of Wesley Chapel). Both have informed they cannot service the new BMW Supra's. One of them told me it's because their dept. is not "Supra certified", while the other told me because it's not a BMW. I also asked them both if Toyota will service a Z4 and they said no (the latter I was obviously being facetious).

That's the best way to learn: baptism by fire.

There's a very good chance your refund may be smaller this time around. Mine was about $1100 less:

It’s like taking your Ferrari to a Chevy dealer for service. No thanks!

I really like the Z06, but it’s still a Chevy. I find it highly doubtful most dealers have skilled techs on hand to work on them.

Most of them probably have never heard of a flat plane, nevermind actually work on one.

Good morning everyone!:tiphat:

Biggest gym pet peeves:

1. Having very poor form/posture because you're lifting more than you should
2. Grunting/screaming really loud unnecessarily because you're lifting more than you should
3. Slamming/dropping the weights down unnecessarily because you're lifting more than you should

:iagree:

The reason I inquired about the Supra/BMW is because they use the same BMW engine.

Oh, I get it! I’m just saying that if I would own a Supra, I’d trust the BMW dealer before I took it to the guy that works on Camry’s all day.

Say what you will about the new Z. It’s a parts car, blah blah blah… at least I would trust a dealer to work on it. Z06, Supra? Not so much.

There was a video on YouTube about a guy with a brown motor on his 2023 c8 z06. 53 miles, kaput. Took GM 3 days to get it towed to the right dealership. Yea, no thanks. Not for $150,000.
