Unfortunately, that is the common mode of operation throughout the auto
repair industry … it just hits you harder because of the high cost of
Lexus Parts. If you can find a private shop specializing in servicing Lexus
(i.e., an EXPERIENCED Lexus mechanic that opens his own shop), you are going
to do better in most cases. Actually, the first generation (90-92) have
been around long enough, that more common issues should be able to be
handled by most any competent shop. The trouble is that Lexus specific
systems (i.e., the Trac system) may only be able to be serviced by those
well versed (or NOT in some cases) with the system. That said, the 90-92
LS400 was probably the most "reliable" car ever built… that is NOT to
imply that they don’t need to be maintained.
Jerohm,
Thanks for the note. I agree with you.
