My 2015 GS 350 RWD is approaching the 60K service, out of manufacture warranty and I'm looking for any recommendation for a reliable and fairly priced mechanic in the San Gabriel Valley area.
Searching around the forums and a few hits with LEX MasterTech (Pasadena). Any recent experience with this mechanic? Any others? Thank you!!!

Have not been to Lextech. The last major on ours was done at Luxury Motorworks: timing belt, radiator replacement and hoses, valve cover gaskets, shift selector shaft seal, engine mounts along with new tires. Was very pleased with all the work performed.

Exclamation Walnut Blasting at Dynamic Auto Services or Vinam?

I saw postings about the repair shops in OC. I will be moving here in June and I have a 2008 IS 250 with 50K on it and need my Carbon build up fixed. Do any of these shops preform walnut blasting?
Thanks

Vinam is temporarily downsized and appointment only while their building is getting renovated. I stopped by a couple weeks ago and they were moving all their equipment. He's renting a single bay from one of his neighbors until his shop reopens. I think he should be up and running pretty soon at the new location. He said he would be getting a sign made to hang up with his cell phone number, so his customers can contact him.

Can someone please help me find a shop that does Walnut Blastings in Orange County. I called Dynamic but he said he was not comfortable doing it.
