If you take it to the lexus dealer, they should give you a loaner car for free. To do a timing belt change should take all day, so why not take a loaner and go home, and come back the next day. yea, I know its a hour and a half, total 3 hrs round trip, can you imagin waiting for your car to be fixed, and at the end of the day, they call you, and tell you, your car is not ready yet, come back tomorrow :chairshot: Lexus dealer wanted $1150 to change EGR pipe. my machanic friend to me forget it, It doesn't sound bad, and i had already passed my smog check a week ago.
Lexus dealer usually wash and waxs your car after they repair it. does your toyota dealership give you a loaner and clean your car for you. and would you need someone to pick you up after you drop your car off.
