Maintenance Outside Warranty

[pjhd]

I live in Denver. Does anyone have a reputable repair shop for an RX330 Lexus ?

I'd like to find a repair shop that may be less expensive than the dealer.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

Dealers, for routine maintenance "technicians" pretty much exclusively hire McD "flipper" graduates, or college drop-out sons, often with hit or miss results. Small shops, non-franchise shops, simply do better.

You will find far more bad independent repair shops than Lexus dealer service departments.

Look for an independent repair shop that specializes in Lexus vehicles, and, if possible, owned and staffed by former Lexus dealer employees.

Ask Lexus owners you see around Denver for recommendations - a gas station or car wash is a great place to exchange information with other Lexus owners. I carry business cards from the indie Lexus specialty repair shop I use and have passed out many since this particular shop opened in 1996 - the shop is owned by a former Lexus dealer service writer and his mechanics were formerly at the Lexus dealer.
