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

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!

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.

Just remember, all cars are future junk

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
