Off-Site Service/Parts Department - Common?
I was surprised to find that my Lexus service/parts department is off-site - nearly 5 miles away. When looking at new cars at the Lexus dealership I guess I made the assumption that the building that I was in was the whole "LEXUS". I stopped by over the weekend to check on a few parts (door sills etc...) and the greeting gal told me the new facility was pure sales. I asked her what all of the folks sitting around were doing... she said ..." its such a nice lobby folks just stop by and have a drink, watch tv, read the paper..." LOL. I left the "SALES" building and got in my LS and drove the 5 miles to the Lexus Service/Parts facility and was pleasantly surprised - it was a nice, large facility and most importantly had free soft drinks and WIFI .

That also sounds like South Bay Lexus in Torrance.... I had the oil changed on my LS460 and it was $140. I don't normally take my cars to dealerships for an oil change, but i decided to see how much they were charging now. That price is a long ways away from a long time ago when i brought my 93.5 TT supra for $20 oil change at Toyota or $40 for my 2000 GS300......
But i know MB charges more than that these days.....

The Lexus dealer is 120 miles each direction from my house and Toyota is local. They keep the filters in stock at my local Toyota dealer. If they don't have the filter, they can order it through Toyota and have it in a day or two.
I guess, you're paying for the free newspapers and soft drinks LOL!
