Thanks everyone for your input. I'll contact the autopart on monday and see what they say. Your provided info on the codes and what they meat is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I live in toronto. I'll see if the auto part shop would read and provide me with the error codes, if not I may take you upon your offer. Thanks for your kindness. :-) Also, thanks everyone for your replies

Hi there, New to forum and lexus world. My car has check the engine light on and it may have to do with the sensors. Where do you take your car for repairs in GTA and how much should I be expecting to pay for this problem (if you know). Any additional info would be great.

Hello again, First let me correct myself and let you know the check the engine light is on not the serive light. (my mistake) Also, thanks to each one of you, who responded to my post. We do not have autozone in canada. I'm sure there are lots of other companies who would provide the same service (other than dealership), but I don't know about. I'm going to do some digging and find out where can I take the car just to get the codes, and then take it from there. But please don't stop the replies. Feel free to ad and additional and helpful informaiton. bluewaters...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and lexus world. Have a 99 RX300 Lexus. My engine service light has been on for a few weeks. Not sure what the cause is. Based on some information I read on this forum, it could be the gas cap or some sensors.... Just a note, I lost my original gas cap and replaced it with another one (non-lexus). The trouble is I can't remember if the light came on before the gas cap was changed or after (been having a very busy few weeks) Here are some of my questions: 1. Is the price of a part at dealership the same as part shops (lets say it was the senors that had issues)? 2. Where is the best place to have the car checked and fixed in Toronto, Canada area(GTA)? (thinking other than dealership) 3. What is the estimated cost I should be expecting at dealership or a mechanic shop? 4. Is there a cost associated and how much for a dealership to look at the car and tell me what's wrong with it? Please note, there is no warranty on this car and I have owned it only for about 6 months. Also, being a female and not knowing much about cars doesn't help my situation ;-) Thanks in advance for your advice and feel free to email me if you know of a good place to take my car to.
