Using Toyota for timing belt service?
Just wanted to know people's opinions on how wise that would be, the closest Lexus dealership is pretty far away so for convenience I thought about just going to Toyota dealership. I have my parts already.
'99 LS400. I've heard this is a pretty tough job so I just didn't want it in the end costing me more because the mechanic ran into problems, or worse. If it were easy I would go to the my regular $60/hour mechanic. Who is good.
Thanks for any replies.

Toyota Dealers do Landcruisers, Tundras, and Sequoias by the zillions, which are very similar to our LS400s as far as the belts go. They are actually a good choice to do them

I was actually surprised when I got a quote from Toyota and Lexus to the timing belt service and Toyota was more expensive than Lexus and Lexus gives you a complimentary loaner vehicle vs. Toyota didn't. But if the Toyota dealer is a lot closer, just go for it. We drove 46 miles to the Lexus dealer vs 11 to the Toyota dealer
