Default Good Local SoCal Lexus Shop

For the Southern California (IE) guys anyone have a good reputable shop or tech they take their car to? I asked the dealer in Ontario to quote me on installing the LCA Bushings (RCF versions) and they wanted 4.5hrs just in labor prior to an alignment. I was going to be in the 800-1K range for something that I feel shouldn't take that long based on what I see here. So I figured I would ask the group. The dealer tech said he was would do the Poly vs RCF but I don't feel like greasing these things or hearing squeaking.

Thanks!

^^ For what its worth, i had a Toyota dealer where I live install the bushing and charged me 0.75H and no alignment necessary - That dealer is blowing smoke up your whoohoo.

Mind you, I am in Canada so my dealer won't be of help but I wanted to confirm that it's not a big job

If you don't mind the drive, I recommend Lexology in Hermosa Beach. In my experience, they are honest and reasonably priced.

I second Lexology. I used to take my ISF to Mike the owner back when they were in Redondo Beach, as well as my wife's previous IS 250 and RX 350. they've since moved to a bigger location in Hermosa, which we've continued to take the wife's RX 350.

I have used Corner 3 Garage in Laguna Hills and have had a great experience.
