safric99 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Lexus mechanics specialize and get more practice specifically on Lexus vehicles. Wondering what the opinion is on taking my RX300 to a Toyota Dealer instead of Lexus dealer for major service [Timing belt, etc]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JZTWIN TURBO Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Lexus mechanics specialize and get more practice specifically on Lexus vehicles.Wondering what the opinion is on taking my RX300 to a Toyota Dealer instead of Lexus dealer for major service [Timing belt, etc]. The 3.0 V6 is a common motor for Lexus and Toyota. I'm sure the Toyota dealer would have no problem with this type of repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I had my timing belt and waterpump done at toyota, saved $500. the Toyota Hylander is just a knockoff of the RX300 so the dealership should have no problem. My toyota dealer even got the parts from the Lexus dealer, at the time they were not sure about the timing belt. However it is the same belt in the Hylander.

eagle-7 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I've had our RX300 exclusively maintained by Toyota. When it needed the transmission replaced, I took it to Lexus and they honored the fact that it was maintained by a Toyota dealership. Thanks, eagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safric99 Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 Appreciate the feedback. Guess a visit to the Toyota dealer shortly is in the cards :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
