"RICH:
Thanks for your post. You literally saved me about $1500 with your referral to KarCo. I took my SC300 into Tustin of Lexus for its 120K service and got an estimate of almost $3,000 worth of additional work that needed to be done. No way I could rationalize that cost given the age of the car, so I told the dealer to forget it. I even started looking at new car options. Then I found your post here and gave KarCo a try. They would only charge me $80 for a thorough check-up. Turns out I only needed some of the stuff done the dealer recommended and I got out the door for about $1500. Better yet, KarCo doubles the warranty on the parts to 2 years from the 1 year Lexus dealers give on the same exact parts.
KarCo is a highly professional operation and I will take my aging Lexus there for the duration of its life, which I can happily say is now going to be another 3-5 years. I'm sure glad I found this owners forum and your post.
