Default Recommend quality vendor to do 90,000 service on 04 LS430

I would appreciate any referrals/recommendations of shops that are reliable, reasonable and trustworthy that can do the 90,000 service (timing belt and water pump) on my LS430.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. I live in Chino Hills, CA so anywhere within 15-20 miles would be ideal.

Thanks,

KCLS430

I swear by Dynamic Auto Services, but you probably don't want to drive that far.

Best prices would be Vinam in Midway City.

I've had my car serviced there from 137k miles to 210k miles at the moment. Many other guys here can vouch for Vinam as well. Its almost a one man operation

Talk to Mario at Accurate Automotive in Montclair. He was a tech at Lexus before opening his own shop. He uses all OEM parts... gets the 90K kit right from Lexus. His prices are extremely fair and he is totally honest. I would recommend him to anyone.

i drove close to 35 minutes local just to drop & get my car service at Vinam....and took me about 50-65 minutes to get back to my home with bus. As matter a fact, i have to go pick up my car with bus tomorrow at Vinam....

i think the comfort of good feeling that you can trust & count on that mechanic is worth the drive. you shouldn't limit yourself around Chino if you can't find one.

I think i read someone even drove 25 miles from Santa barbara to Tommy musicbox @ El monte to get parts installed / serviced.

Tho from Vinam is the man! He is honest and prices are the best in town. Sure his shop is messy but that's all good. He is working on my dad's Camry, doing a complete valve job.
