Comments:
My RX is one of the best cars I've ever had! Yes, even with the problems. Although I DO wish it was as good as my wife's 1998 ES300, bought it new over 8 years ago and we've NEVER had anything done to it other than scheduled services - flawless!!
Scheduled Service:
FYI:(If you like saving $$$$$ !)
If you're in the Richmond, VA area, you should try Richmond Import Service.
I love the way I'm treated at Lexus of Richmond, but DANG they're expensive!
A family member turned me on to them(R.I.S.). My 70K(I think) service was going to be $575 at Lexus of Richmond, and at Rich. Imports it was only $120 for the SAME EXACT service!! You don't get a loaner, but shoot, for over $400 difference I can deal with it. My 5K services are $70+ at the Lexus dealership and only $35 at Rich. Imp.
In case you're worried ( because I asked this question myself ) all of their technicians are Lexus/Toyota/Scion FACTORY certified.
If you're in Richmond it's: Richmond Import Service at 11004-H West Broad Street in the Innsbrook Autoport Complex. It's beside the Tai Garden Restaurant, if you know where that is. Their number is:
804-290-4222.
I know this sounds like a commercial, but these guys are THAT good, I don't work for them, REALLY! LOL!
