Introduction
Although Toyota designed the UZZ32 to high quality standards, maintenance and repair is still necessary.
Like any motor vehicle, they require basic regular servicing (including items such as, eg, new oil and oil filter) There are also items that are more specific to Soarers in general (including sagging door hinges on older vehicles). Finally, there are service that apply only to the UZZ32 Soarer.
Basic Servicing
