Default New GS already having issues! What dealer in socal is the best?

My new GS (180 miles on it) Is already having issues.

Dash rattle
rear deck rattles with bass
yokohama advans are noisy

This car just came off the boat too, so it is the latest and greatest. Grrr. Where do you guys suggest I go in the southbay or LA area.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. My dash rattle is only present during very cold winter temps and the Advans...... well, they just plain suck!

i wouldn't fix the rattles unless it REALLY bothers you. Your warranty is 4 years, so wait till more rattles appear, and fix it all at once. You really don't want them taking your car apart and then putting it back a bunch of times for ever little rattle.
often, as soon as you fix one rattle, another pops up. so.....

Nah, center stack is super simple and comes out in one piece. Pull the wood covering the shifter gate, 2 screws to remove the side panels, 4 bolts to remove the center stack and voila.... it's done. If it bothers you that much, I would just have it looked at.

good luck with getting the Advans corrected. Lexus corporate told me to stuff it by saying to contact the tire manufacturer. I even have the paperwork from the dealership saying tires are "feathering". My GX with 40K on the tires is quieter.

Leave the rattles alone, you are only opening a can of worm!!!

As for the Advan A10B, ask your service advisor to replace them right away!!!

My dealer did replaced my A10B with PS2, even with 7,000 mile on them!!!
