About the 86
The Toyota 86 (sports coupe) is a sensible, well-built sports coupe that’s cheap to keep healthy — provided the servicing is done properly and on schedule.
We look after the 86 with the right parts, the correct oil and proper diagnostics — the same standard as the dealer, usually at a lower price.
Common 86 service points
The things we keep an eye on with the 86: regular oil and filter services (crucial on the boxer engine), brakes and tyres under spirited driving, the cooling system, and suspension. As a light sports car it rewards correct oil on time.
We’ll show you what your 86 actually needs, what can wait, and quote it in writing first — no surprises.
