what? i wish they do that up here in Canada..

Need to understand that the minute you get into the dealership and you start looking around the sales floor, there's an opportunity for a sale! A tank of gas is so cheap for a potential sale. And then they get to charge it to Lexus Corp. Win-win!

From my experience, most do in Canada as well.

This is for the low pressure system, which the IS250 doesn't have. The damper isn't meant to be removed from the fuel rail and so the entire port injection fuel rail is replaced.

My dealership in Canada does this as well. The only caveats I believe are you have to be the original owner and you need to bring it in the dealer where you purchased your car

^^^^A lot of us, me included, would not trust our Fs to be washed at a dealership or any other car wash.

Do you not get to choose which loaner you'd like? I've driven every vehicle except the RC, LC and LFA in the Lexus lineup. I just ask what cars are available when the service adviser asks if I'd like a loaner. They're all F Sport versions as well. .

I know mine allows us to choose, but as far as I know, only between the NX, RX, and ES. They claim the maintenance is too much on the IS/GS/RC since people liked to race them and burn up their tires. I wanted to try out a new IS, but after getting the no, I took the RX. Not entirely sure about the LS/LX/GX since I've never asked.

It depends on the dealer I guess. The only other dealer I know of that I've been to is Lexus of Memphis, and they would loan out GS's for sure since I asked. Not sure about anything else though.

Rallye Lexus and Lexus of Queens are the dealerships I've used and neither of them allow me to choose unfortunately. A GS or IS would have been great.

They are performing the recall on my car at the dealer right now. The loaner is a 18 ES350. The only IS I had as loaner so far was a IS200T, never a IS350. Fell out of place in the ES even it's 11 years younger than my 07.

I had a recall come to me in the mail about a week ago regarding this. I'm guessing a new issue arose?

is this part near other stuff that you should replace at the same time - i.e, parts only cost, no labor?

kinda like doing your AC drive belt and WP when you do a timing belt...

I just got it done. It looks like the only extras I got was about 15 plastic clips for the panels around the engine.
