Default LS independent specialist in So Cal?

Years ago I believe I read somewhere in these forums about an independent Lexus LS specialist based I believe in the Southern California area. He was known for his absolute honesty and integrity, and I believe that he had a few first gen LSs that he used as loaner cars for his customers. Does anyone recall the name of this shop? I'm going to need a good shop to help deal with a few growing problems on my first gen, including my multiple blown taillight failure relay boxes.

Any recommendations/leads would be greatly appreciated.

I'm actually not in So Cal. But I'm having these issues with my 92 LS (like the multiple blown tail light failure relay boxes), and I don't seem to be attracting any help from the resident experts here, so I'm thinking of just calling that expert and seeing what he thinks.

I've also got my parking brake engaged indicator light on my dash coming on when accelerating or driving uphill. I checked my brake fluid level and it's fine.

Perhaps I just need to get a new car. I really like my 92 LS, but it's starting to get to be a hassle with these little nagging problems...

Have you inspected the wiring harness that runs along the trunk hinge? That is a common issue among the 1-LS's.

I second this! this is a very common issue and is most likely your culprit.
