G - Reporting
Nice easy start as the truck wouldn’t be ready till 10 and was only a short walk away, we arrived in the end at about 10:30 to find the truck still on the lift and the mechanics having problems starting it, not a good start, but it turned out just to be a forgotten plug on the fuel tank and soon the truck roared to life, then it was time to pay, 7000 Rubles ($230) not bad consider the amount of work involved at how long it took, so after thanking them and taking a few pictures we headed to the Toyota dealer to get the rest of the suspension checked out and an oil change.
The dealership was huge and very modern and after a short wait we were introduced to the Service manager Constantine who spoke great English and took me though the whole process which ended up lasting the rest of the day, in the end they replaced 6 different things on the suspension and also found a missing bolt on one of the shock absorbers, it all came to a fair amount more than the back street garage at 23000 Rubles but it was worth it to know the car was safe as we would be driving on fast modern highways for the rest of trip.
