In these challenging times, the priority of Toyota GB is always to ensure the well-being of our customers and staff. We want to reassure you that we are working alongside our dealer network to follow government advice, maintain the safety of our customers and colleagues, and to help keep you moving.
Service, MoT tests, maintenance and repair
Our service departments throughout the UK continue to operate as normal within the social distancing guidelines we have had in place for many months. Our workshops remain fully operational for servicing, MoT tests and repairs. However, to ensure that safe distancing measures are in place, work will be carried out by appointment only. All service desks are equipped with protective screens and only cashless payments will be received.
New and used car sales
Please note that New and Used car showrooms are now open once more, following the easing of national restrictions on 12 April.
New and used car sales areas in our dealerships are always open digitally and will be able to talk to you by phone, messaging or video chat. They can even send you videos of the product range too.
Video consultations are available to bring the dealership experience directly to you, with no need to leave the comfort of your own home. These will ensure that we can still meet your needs almost as well as if you were physically with us.
If you are collecting a new or used car or van, please contact your chosen dealer to arrange a pre-booked vehicle handover appointment. Vehicle handovers will be outside, so make sure you bring a coat! Home delivery options may also be available in some areas.

This page seems to be out of date. My car is due a service and MOT on 8th April. I have just been told this has been postponed indefinitely. As I understand it, the government has said that cars must have a valid MOT and garages will be open to do this. What should I do?
Hi Patrick,
Thanks for getting in touch. We have now updated the information in this article. If you need any further advise, you can find the latest Government announcement regarding MOTs here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-mots-for-cars-vans-and-motorcycles-due-from-30-march-2020
Thanks.
So can I do the service on my car even if I’m not essential NHS staff
My wife has received a recall notice on her Toyota Verso for a potential timing chain issue. However all dealers near us are now closed, pending further advice from the Government. There is nothing in the recall letter that states the car must not be driven until assessed (and the Toyota Recall FAQ states they would contact us directly if that be the case).
Can you confirm this advice is still current and correct?
Hi John,
Thanks for getting in touch. we hope you’re staying safe. You are correct, if Toyota needs to advise you to stop driving your vehicle, we will contact you directly to say so. We appreciate these are challenging times and we thank you for your support as we continue to prioritise the well-being of our customers, staff and partners.
If you would like further advice on this, we would recommend contacting your Toyota dealer via phone or email at this time.
Thanks.

Hi My wife’s owns a 13 Plate Auris, the car has failed to start on 2 occasions , it has now happened again today .
On the second occasion yesterday, we had to get the AA out to start it at a cost of £120 because we did not have home start. I am now trickle charging the battery and hopefully it will start later.
I have since heard that Toyota have recognized that they have a problem with this malfunction, and can be fixed , I thought that Toyota would have notified everyone about the fix.
We are in a lock down position both myself (83) and my wife (78) please advise.
Hi Colin,
Thanks for getting in touch. We’re sorry to hear about the issue you’ve been dealing with. There are things that can be done to help. In addition to the storage tips for our conventionally-powered vehicles, our hybrids require additional steps for each battery, as the hybrid vehicle battery and auxiliary battery will discharge and their condition is liable to decline.
To prevent excessive auxiliary battery drainage, charge the battery at least once every two weeks by powering on the hybrid system for 20 minutes with all non-essential electrical accessories (such as air conditioning and audio equipment) turned off. It is not necessary to drive the vehicle, but do not start the hybrid system in an enclosed area unless the tail pipe is connected to an exhaust hose to prevent harmful buildup of fumes. As an alternative, you may disconnect the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery.
For the hybrid vehicle battery, charge the battery at least once every two months by starting the hybrid system for about 30 minutes*. Check that the “ready” light is on and all lights and electrical accessories are off. As with the auxiliary battery charging, it is not necessary to drive the vehicle, but the steps to prevent exhaust buildup must be taken.
Alternatively, if you would like further help with this we would recommend contacting your nearest Toyota centre via phone or email as they remain contactable during this time. You can find your nearest dealer via this link: https://www.toyota.co.uk/forms/forms?tab=pane-dealer

Hi
I have recently recieved an email informing me that my Roadside Assistance is being extended. This is great news (well done Toyota). However, the email shows the original registration number which I have replaced with my personal number. How do I change this or do I need to change it. So far I have niot needed to use the service.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for getting in touch. We would recommend contacting Toyota Roadside Assistance on 0344 7016201 to discuss this directly with our team. Alternatively, you can email them at roadsideassistance@toyota.co.uk

My wife’s 2016 rav4 diesel was booked in for its big service, but obviously this was cancelled during the cov19 situation. On the dashboard, it is now 650 miles past the service date.
I need the car for work ( making components for respirators ),and travel 65 miles per day, so is it ok to just keep on increasing the miles ( both regarding vehicle warranty, and reliability ) ?

At the beginning of the week I talked with a rep in Bolton about a particular car. I said I would check out the finances with my bank and with Toyota and that he would phone back on Monday next week. He said once we discussed finance then he would bring the car out for me to see. I noticed this morning the car has gone. I am really disappointed. I have always had a Toyota Yaris but now I am feeling is it worth even looking until the salesrooms open again? I was so excited that I found the right car and now its gone. I am very disappointed
