I just noticed that the ABS light doesn't light up when I turn the key onto "ON" .... so I read the booklet and it said to contact the "Toyota Dealer" ... does that mean the dealer I bought the car from, or can I go to the nearest Toyota Caryard? [The dealer I bought the car from is about an hour drive away, so I'm wondering if I could go to the nearest Toyota Car yard instead].

Ummmmmmmmm... your topic title is extremely vague. Going by your profile, you have a ZZE-122 Ascent, ABS was a factory option on that model Ascent, are you sure you even have ABS fitted? 99.999999% of ZZE-122s that came into this country don't have ABS, regardless of Japanese or Seth Efrikan build.

No you're right. I just read through some other documents that I have and I don't have ABS.

That said though ..... When I'm due for my next servicing .... do I have to go back to the dealer that I bought the car from or can I go somewhere a little closer to home?

[Sorry for my newbieness]

You can go anywhere for your servicing. i bought my corolla i n Sydney and nearly all servicing has been done in my hometown by the local toyota dealer. .

Much Appreciated.
