One of the local Toyota shops in my area (a very large and well-equipped one) not only does routine service on Lexus vehicles (for about half the price of a Lexus shop) but was trying to get certification to do Lexus warranty work as well. I haven't heard yet how that turned out.

Is that just another excuse, all those loaners are insured by either the customer's insurance or the optional insurance the dealer offer, and teh customer is responsible for all deductibles.

I'm not sure about the details. But they didn't ask for my insurance when they handed over the keys to the loaner.

They usually just ask what company it is so they can write that on the loaner agreement.

When I got a loaner a couple of weeks ago they asked for my insurance card and entered the policy number into the loaner agreement.

Pretty soon the Penske-owned Lexus dealerships will be using Saturns as loaners

I just dropped my 2007 IS350 off at Scottsdale Lexus this past week.

I was given a 2009 Corolla with 800 miles on it. Not only was I given a Corolla, they also charge $10 for the loaner, unless you are in for Campaign work which I was in for.

Scottsdale Lexus is literally 5 minutes from my house, but I think my next service will be out at Superstition Lexus. My service rep wasn't the most pleasant either.

I will continue to press my dealer to supply a decent Lexus.

That is what competition is for. Very sorry to hear about the experience.
