Japanese performance vehicle servicing
Tokyo Motorsports has been servicing, modifying and tuning Japanese performance vehicles since 2007.
From routine servicing on a standard road car to maintaining a highly modified or competition vehicle, the service requirements need to suit the car. Vehicle age, kilometres, service history, modifications and how the car is used are all taken into account.
Our purpose-built, 1,000 sqm workshop in Welshpool is fully equipped to service and maintain Japanese performance vehicles in-house, using quality parts, fully synthetic oils and lubricants.
- Scheduled and routine servicing
Cars can fall outside the manufacturer’s standard service schedule for a variety of reasons. Age, missing or incomplete service history, modifications, increased power, track use and previous maintenance can all change what a vehicle actually needs.
Available service history is checked and the vehicle inspected to establish the most appropriate service requirements.
Routine servicing includes a comprehensive 124-point vehicle inspection, covering the engine bay, drivetrain, cooling and fuel systems, electrical systems, underbody, brakes, suspension, tyres and wheels.
This allows developing problems to be identified while they’re still small, rather than simply changing the oil and sending the car back out the door.
- Logbook servicing
New and late-model Japanese performance vehicles can be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s scheduled service requirements without returning to the dealership. Logbook servicing is carried out using quality parts and lubricants and includes the required scheduled checks and maintenance for the vehicle.
Servicing your car at Tokyo Motorsports will not invalidate your new-car or aftermarket warranty, provided servicing is carried out in accordance with the applicable warranty requirements.
The vehicle’s service record is completed and any additional maintenance requirements identified during inspection are reported before further work is carried out.
Log book and standard servicing includes the following items:
- 124 point vehicle safety check
- Fully synthetic oils
- Genuine OEM filters
- All fluid levels
- Interior and exterior check
- Engine bay check
- Drive train check
- Cooling system check
- Fuel system check
- Electrical system check
- Under body check
- TIres and wheels
- Suspension check
- Brake check
- Tyre check
- Tyres
Tyres are one of the most important components on a performance car. They affect braking, steering response, traction, ride quality and ultimately how effectively the car can use the performance available.
Tokyo Motorsports has access to a wide range of tyres for road, performance and motorsport applications, with options to suit different vehicles, applications and budgets.
Tyres are fitted and computer balanced in-house, with wheel alignment available at the same time where required.
Rather than simply fitting a tyre in the correct size, advice is available on selecting an appropriate tyre for the car, its suspension setup and how it will actually be used.
- Wheel alignments
Wheel alignment has a major influence on how a performance car feels and behaves.
Tokyo Motorsports carries out wheel alignments in-house, from correcting alignment and tyre wear issues on road cars through to setting suspension geometry on modified and track-focused vehicles.
Camber, caster and toe settings can be tailored to suit the vehicle, suspension configuration, tyres and intended use rather than simply setting every car to the middle of the factory specification.
For modified vehicles, alignment can also form part of a broader suspension setup to improve steering response, stability, grip and tyre performance.
Our in-house Hunter HawkEye wheel alignment system is industry-leading equipment, using high-resolution camera technology to provide extremely accurate alignment measurements. This allows suspension geometry to be measured and adjusted precisely, whether setting up a standard road car or developing a modified vehicle for performance or motorsport use.
Servicing all Japanese makes and models
Using high quality parts and oils, we do everything from general logbook servicing, to general maintenance and repairs.
- Air conditioner service
Automotive Air Conditioning systems require regular maintenance and servicing. Dirty and inefficient A/C systems can cause health problems and increase fuel consumption.
We offer Air Conditioning maintenance and repairs for all types of Japanese vehicles. This can be part of routine vehicle maintenance or as a separate task. Re-gassing, control system checks, and cabin (pollen) filters replacements are all available along with trouble shooting A/C systems that aren’t working properly.
- Radiator service
Keeping your engine running at the correct operating temperature is vital to keep it operating correctly. Engines run at 80 – 90 degrees C most of the time. Any hotter than 105 – 110 C risks serious engine damage.
We can service and maintain your vehicles cooling system to keep your engine running smoother for longer. Services include radiator and thermostat checks, radiator flush/replacement, cooling system pressure checks, coolant concentrate checks, coolant flush/replacement and cooling system troubleshooting.
We offer standard brake maintenance including; rotor skimming/replacement, pad and shoe replacement, fluid changes and trouble shooting. Brake upgrades are also available for all Japanese make and models including pad upgrades, rotor upgrades and fluid upgrades.
- Injector servicing and cleaning
Fuel injectors open and close millions of times between vehicles services and billions of times over the life of your car. Over time they get dirty and their performance deteriorates resulting in reduced engine power, excess fuel consumption, and, in some cases, engine damage.
We can service your cars fuel injectors and get them working like new again. Using the best fuel injector cleaning system on the market – ASNU – your car will never run better.
- Vehicle inspections
If you’re thinking about buying a used car, getting it properly inspected first is essential. This is particularly important when buying a modified performance vehicle, where the quality of previous modifications, tuning and maintenance may not be obvious from a conventional inspection.
Tokyo Motorsports’ 124-point inspection covers the major mechanical, electrical and safety systems of the vehicle and can be used to establish its current condition, identify developing problems and prioritise future maintenance.
For performance and pre-purchase inspections, compression and cylinder leak-down testing can also be carried out to provide a valuable snapshot of the mechanical condition of the engine.
Inspections are particularly useful when purchasing a Japanese performance vehicle, assessing a recently purchased car with unknown history, establishing a maintenance baseline, or checking a modified vehicle before further upgrades or tuning.
Experience with platforms including Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru WRX/STI, Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, GR Yaris/GR Corolla and Nissan Z means the inspection can also focus on the known issues and common failure points of the particular platform.
