Default Northern VA Dealer Service with Mods?

Has anyone in the Northern Va area taken their modded car in for service at any of the dealers in the area? If so, what mods, which dealer and did they have any issues with it?

I only have the blue Joe Z intake and Tom's filter right now, but I just got my RMI Scoops and I want to know the deal, pardon the pun, before I install.

I am wondering if I should I take out the Joe Z and hold off on the Scoops until I get the service done. Thoughts?

Thanks!

I have a Joe z intake and exhaust , apex throttle controller and just went in the other day to get my upsized tires on and the service dealer just smiled at me when he heard me roll up sound nice. He loved the way the car sounded and the beefy tires that i put on it. Great people down at the lexus dealership in VA Beach

I am curious to know the answer to this question as well. I've had nothing but good experiences from Pohanka Lexus in Chantilly but that was my GS and it was stock. I would assume if any would be lenient it would be them but you never know. Subscribed to this one.

I've only had my car at Pohanka and it's been a hit or miss with them and mods. I've "heard" that Lindsay Lexus is more of a mod-friendly dealership, but I have no experience to back that up.

My experience in the past with most of my modded cars has been hit or miss, but when it comes down to it, unless your aftermarket mods have created issues with your car, there shouldn't be any problems. If your intake for instance throws a code and you take it to the dealer to get read out, prepare to pay.

Yep....CB in VA Beach is pretty mod friendly with me. (knock wood I haven't really had any problems with the car)

In fact, they're the ones that I had mount/balance my wheels and tires.
