Default Auto Service

Where do Lexus owners go for service when the nearest dealer is 40 miles away?

Default Worth the Drive

If its Oil and filter or Tire Rotation find a AC Delco or NAPA Auto Care. Google them on line. Warranted service nation wide

If its Tires find a national chain and make sure the Balancer and Alignment service is a Hunter

NEVER a quick lube unless you need a new vehicle.

Walk in the business look for the technicians ASE certifications and factory certifications. Is the shop area clean organized and professional looking or does it look like back yard Bob?

Our cars today are bumper to bumper rolling computers with some sheet metal wrapped around them. Even a Tire Rotation is high tech.

Anything else the 40 mile drive will be worth it. Call Lexus and they will most likely loan or rent you a vehicle.

I just updated the school Alignment machine for your vehicle. Had nothing to do the vehicles alignment physical adjustments. It had to do with the Stability control angle sensor relearn procedure.

I had a Lexus with a pull condition that was at four shops to get fixed. It had four new tires and had several tire rotations and alignment checks.

We fixed it with a 10 minute stability control relearn.

People in TV need to be careful of vehicle service. Many new cars now have repair equipment that only the dealer has software and procedures not available to the independant repair garages. Just the way it is the lawsuits for right to repair information go on as I type.

And I am not bashing the local garages. How ever I do know what they face.

Default Lexus of Tampa Bay

I go to Tampa Bay Lexus for everything because they are the 1st dealer EVER who does not push unneeded maintenance continuously but rather tell you what needs to be done for safety reasons and what can wait. If the work will be over 2 or 3 hours, they come to The Villages and pick up my vehicle and leave me with a loaner. They call when my vehicle is ready and bring it back...all at NO CHARGE. I even take my Lexus there for routine oil changes which used to be every 5000 miles (3-4 times/yr) but is now every 10,000 miles (1-2 times/yr). If you go there, they have a shuttle to the International Drive Mall. Highly recommend this dealer over the other one east of the Villages.

Oil change's, tires, alignment last three years at Tire Choice on 466. Very good service and prices. You could try the Toyota dealer as well
