Default Where Is Your Lexus Serviced?

I've spent the last 12 years or so maintaining/repairing my family's and my vehicles, 8 years in auto parts, and 2 years in professional auto repair. During that time, I've serviced maybe 5 Lexus vehicles but definitely no more than 10, all older than 2010, and my coworker had an 08 LS460 Diag that was likely a flood car. This has left me wondering, where do you have your Lexus serviced?

My shop or sometimes my home garage.

Self service for most things but if it is an involved repair, then the local Lexus indy shop. Thankfully, even with my fleet of three Lexus vehicles, they don't need much.

When I lived in Washington until 2 months ago, I used an independent in Bothell called Bothell Toyota Specialists for 7 years. Now I am in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the dealer rates here are less than Washington and it is right on my way to work so I will probably just use Lexus of Murray, UT.

If not for my Indy, I would not be driving my 21 year old LS430 today. I've owned it for almost 12 years. Yes, it's reliable, but the proper maintenance and I am emphasizing PROPER with OEM parts can require expensive repairs. I've been lucky to just deal with the normal, wheel bearings, oil leaks, oxygen sensors, door actuators, subwoofers, radiators, etc. It does add up, but this car will never leave you stranded. That in itself along with total comfort is worth holding on to my LS430.The Indy does save me with reasonable prices to keep the car going.
