prix Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 can my lexus dealer tell if i've taken my car to a lexus specialty shop for repairs by punching in the vin#? or, can they only tell if i've taken it to another lexus dealership for service? on one of these posts someone said that the lexus shps were 'linked' and could see all history of maintenance with your vin#. wondered if that applied to lexus speciality shops (where they have lexus trained mechanics). thanks.

99lsguy Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 No - they cannot. Only links are via Lexus dealerships. An independent shop will not be on their records. But if any owner keeps the records from indep. shop, it will be proof of maintenance enough that another buyer should feel good about it..... Just always go to a good , reputable lexus/import shop in your area. The good words will follow its reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prix Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 I def have ALL receipts from day one, and have only dealt with reputable shops. Was just curious whether the dealer could tell I 'defected' to someone else on some stuff is all. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Even if they did it wouldn't matter, you're not required to service it at the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
