Default Creaks, Ticks, Clunks, Ratttaaaatatatatlllees...gone!!!

Ok so my GS300 was a freaking creaking mobile like you wouldn't believe. To the point where I considered just buying a new '08 b/c it was pissing me off so much. But, I decided to let the dealer have a shot at it first. I took it to DCH Lexus of Oxnard for repairs. They have a tech there that specializes in the dreaded creaks. His name is Mike and he did an amazing job!!! I had creaks in the upper right corner of the dash, around the head unit, on my A driver side pillar and in the doors. Now my car is tighter than a virgin and I got no creaks whatsoever! I pray that it remains that way and doesn't change!

Lexus of Oxnard also took care of me on other things and let's just say that while they didn't have to do what they did for me, they went the extra mile and that was not only pleasantly surprising but also...**** I forgot what I was gonna say.

anyway, it's good stuff. If you're near Oxnard and need to get your rattles out, that's the place to go to!

How much did it set you back fixing all the creaks? I seem to have one in my driver side panel and my moonroof when it's really hot

That's almost enough to make me move to Oxnard. I've had a couple fixed so far but nearly took hand to hand dealer combat.

Mine has been fixed now for about a month. We have temps from 20 below zero to a plus 45 and the car is now dead silent! It can be fixed! - Took me 2 trips to the dealer armed with a lot of info from this forum
