This will allow us to arrange a time convenient for both parties and permit us to diagnose the problem in your presence.

Toyota Genuine Parts are designed and engineered to original manufacturer's specifications for maximum performance, longevity and fit to ensure they are genuinely better for your Toyota. Toyota Genuine Parts are also model specific, so you can rest assured your vehicle isn't being fitted with 'one size fits all' parts, as is the case with some non-genuine parts.

Your Toyota is only as good as its parts. Make sure you insist on Genuine. It's the best way to keep your Toyota all Toyota.

Please navigate through the links below for more information on Toyota Genuine Parts.

In an attempt to pass savings on to our customers, the Management of NASSCO Limited has decided to only provide Labour Charges. Since parts prices change depending on the cost associated with each shipment, the Service Department at NASSCO Limited charges the customer the exact cost of the part instead of simply using a higher fixed price that will accomodate for the fluctuation in parts prices.

Your Toyota is only as good as its parts. Make sure you insist on Genuine. It's the best way to keep your Toyota all Toyota.

Please navigate through the links below for more information on Toyota Genuine Parts.Although this method does not allow us to provide an exact service cost for each vehicle, the exact cost of the part is passed on to the customer instead of a fixed inflated cost.

The cost of a service can change depending on the prices of parts, along with what parts are required to be changed on your vehicle. For example, if at your last service your brake pads and fuel filter did not need changing, your service cost would be much lower than the next service when these items would need to be replaced.

This is one of the great myths of modern motoring. Your Toyota Service Centre provides excellent price competitive servicing and when you take into account the benefits of having Toyota Trained Technicians using warranted Toyota Genuine Parts, there really is no comparison.

Regular scheduled servicing is vital to maintain the performance of your car. You should always follow the recommended service intervals as outlined in your vehicle Owners Manual, including any additional service requirements that your vehicle may need. Your Toyota warranty does not cover damage caused by inadequate maintenance.

Gasoline Engine Service Schedule

Generally speaking for Gasoline vehicles, a Full Service should be performed every 10,000 Kilometers. This will ensure that all areas of the vehicle are checked and any worn or damaged parts can be replaced before something happens. This preventative maintenance will ensure that your Toyota vehicle operates in good working condition for many years to come.

Diesel Engine Service Schedule

For Diesel vehicles, a Full Service should be performed every 10,000 Kilometers, with a Lube Service performed every 5,000 Kilometers. Since the quality of the Diesel fuel supplied locally is not on par with the recommended standards for the Diesel Vehicles sold by NASSCO Limited the oil tends to break down much faster in these vehicles. To accomodate for this, the Lube Service ensures that your engine will always be operating under the best possible conditions.

If you’ve had your Toyota serviced by your Toyota Service Centre for the length of its warranty you’ll no doubt find that’s in excellent condition. So why would you risk going elsewhere now? After all, only your Toyota Service Centre has the facilities and the qualified Technicians to keep your vehicle genuinely better.

Here are a few signs that indicate your battery may need checking for prolonging the life of your battery:

• If your car is slow to start or you hear a strange noise coming from the engine your battery may have a problem.
• If your car has been inactive for a prolonged time your battery will slowly discharge.
• Leaving your headlights or interior lights on when the engine isn't running will discharge your battery.
• It's always best to have your battery checked prior to a long trip or during periods of severe hot temperatures.
• Short trips that constantly require the engine to be shut down and restarted will drain your battery without allowing the vehicle sufficient time to recharge the battery.

NASSCO Limited carries a full range of batteries to fit your Toyota vehicle. Don't wait until it's too late; Stop by today and have one fitted!

Toyota Genuine Parts are made to specifically fit Toyota Vehicles. Although you may be able to buy a non-genuine part from various suppliers island-wide without vehicle information, these parts may be made to fit a range of vehicles instead of specifically fitting your vehicle.

When purchasing Toyota Genuine Parts from NASSCO Limited, the Toyota EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog) will inform the Parts Sales Clerk the exact part to fit your vehicle. Without the Chassis and Model number, it is difficult to tell whether the part sold will fit your vehicle.

A common example is the Corolla. Although you may know that you your vehicle is a 2002 Toyota Corolla with an NZE engine, various parts differ from one vehicle to another, especially if it is a Japanese Domestic Model vehicle, which is not designed for the Barbados Market.

Vehicles imported from the Japanese Domestic Market are not designed for the Barbados market, and as such only a few models carry the same parts as the vehicles sold and maintained by NASSCO Limited.

The Japanese Domestic Market vehicles often have many differences to the vehicles sold by NASSCO Limited, and although we try to carry a large stock for the most common vehicles, we concentrate on stocking parts for vehicles that NASSCO Limited has sold.
