Schedule it at Orlando. Their waiting area is extremely nice and comfortable. They are very fast. Also, if you walk from there to the nearby Chick-fil-a, by the time you walk, eat, walk back...everything is done. And, if gives some exercise and the time passes quickly.

You schedule it, they come to The Villages and get your car, leave you a loaner and then do the reverse when your car is finished. No matter what you have done there, they always offer to wash your car before you leave. I recently purchased windshield wipers there, had them put them on for me AND they washed the car!!!!

You can also choose to take the car in yourself and they will give you a loaner to go shopping or such. You can also choose to sit in the very lovely waiting room and watch one of the 4 oversized televisions, have a barista drink, a breakfast item, a bakery item, a soda or ALL of it FREE while you wait! Wesley Chapel is BEYOND WONDERFUL! I purchased a 5 year old, certified pre-owned, RX 350 from them and I receive ALL of the services I have told you about! AND the deal I got on car itself was incredible. If I ever am in the market for another car it WILL be purchased there!

If you are looking for a pre-owned be sure to ask for Charles Calise. He will take good care of you!

Wow! I may just drive down there to enjoy the waiting room. But, there is no such thing as an oversized television.

I take my car to Toyota in Leesburg for oil changes, tire rotation. For major services Lexus of Orlando.

We had a lexus - actually 5 over the years, but only one in TV. Went to both Orlando and Wesley Chapel. Now we have 2 Genesis and love them. Maintenance in Leesburg or Ocala. Better bang for your buck!

Perhaps consider a Toyota Avalon Hybrid, which received Consumer Reports #1 rating for large cars. I know several people who have switched from a Lexus to an Avalon and are very pleased, saying it is just as luxurious, a lot cheaper, and gets an average of 42 mpg, which is sort of like driving a golf cart.

I wanted Lexus also got the Avalon most comfortable car I have owned. It is built on a Lexus frame.

Oh no “fake news” has trickled down to car dealerships. Or maybe that’s where it started. LOL :a040:

Tampa will pick your car up for most services, and leave you a loaner. Tampa is an easier drive I think. There is also a dealer in Wesley Chapel which is the closest. Think they will probably do the same pickup. They don’t always offer. You have to “ask”.

Doyou take linger trips alot? If not consider a Tesla type 3. They are awesome and will be the first to drive autonomously for a $10k upgrade. By 2023.

It may be just a few miles further but in time spent on the highway and the money you save in tolls Wesley Chapel is a winner in my book. We don’t have a Lexus but we do go their for our Mercedes to be serviced. Easy leash!

I used Winter Park. Great service

Never take it back to the dealer except for a warranty issue. I think that most of the recommended maintenance items for cars are not necessary. Also, I don't agree that maintaining detailed service records from a dealer is going to increase resale value for any car.

:ohdear: Just remember, all cars are future junk :ohdear:

i personally buy used cars at 3 years old, and drive them until they die a long slow death. Usually I get to 10 years or 150K miles before they die of rust somewhere

We use Lexus of Wesley Chapel. In the past we have used Lexus of Orlando, but got tired of the 2 lane turnpike and tolls. I 75 to Wesley Chapel is 3 lanes and toll free - much better drive. We also go to Costco (at either Lexus) for groceries and fuel. Gas is $.50 cents cheaper than found in the Villages. And.. there is a Premium Outlet mall across from Costco at Wesley Chapel.

I just help a friend buy a RX350 2021 and saved here close to 6,000.00 between the trade , price of new car and no dealer fee.
If you have a trade in give them the VIN and they will give you a ball park of the trade in
