Where to get brakes serviced?
So I went to my local Toyota mechanic and I was surprised that he does not service any Hybrids. I specifically want to replace the brake pads and resurface the rotors of my GS450h. He said something that if air gets into the line there is no way to bleed the system in the hybrid. I always thought that for regular maintenance the H was basically the same as the GS350. Have you guys encountered anything like this before?

Not sure if he ever worked at a Toyota dealer....my guess is no, although he is pretty knowledgeable about Toyotas.
Rominl: Any indep shops that you could recommend in the OC area?
Thanks!

What do people do who own a Lexus, live nowhere near a Lexus dealership, but close to a Toyota dealership? Are they refused service locally? There certainly are more Toyota dealerships around than Lexus. Especially in smaller towns. Something you need to consider when buying a Lexus? Hmmm....

To be honest I don't think the issue is related to Toyota servicing Lexus. Case in point I received a letter from Claremont Toyota boasting that they can service Lexus for a lot less than a Lexus dealer. So I don't think Toyota NA has a position regarding this. My mechanic said that the hybrids have an extra sensor in the brake system that he cannot deal with if he needs to bleed the brake line....
