Looking to service my new IS outside of the stealership network, any reco for some reputable and independent shops in the GTA? It's just regular maintenance stuff. West-end and Lexus specialized would be ideal.

Thanks.

 

I heard about http://www.aussieauto.ca/ in Mississauga.
I don't have actual experience as I work on my vehicles myself.

 

Team Autoworks
2350 Haines Rd,
Mississauga, ON
(905) 276-4000

 

Thanks for the reco...will look into both.

Btw, any idea the apprx cost for first service (8k) at the stealership and outside?

 

Basically just oil change.
Read your owner's manual which specifies all maintenance items and interval.

 

Umm, the first two services on a new IS are complimentary (the 1600 and 8000 km ones). Pretty sure your independent shop will not have a lower price ! Did the dealership not explain that to you when you took delivery?

Here's a quote right ftom Lexus Canada website under Service.

------------

Your Lexus Service Schedule begins with two complimentary services.

1,600 kilometre Check-In, where we:
Address your questions or concerns
Help you set-up or adjust your personal vehicle settings
Conduct an under-the-hood visual inspection
Provide you with a vehicle walk around

8,000 kilometre Service as per your Lexus Maintenance Schedule

 

I was told by my dealership that 1600 is complimentary but nothing after that. Got it from don valley north lexus in Markham, wtf!?

 

Phone them. It should be free. Lexus pays for it, not you. All Canadian new Lexus cars come with that.
