I have not found a good indy shop here in the Nashville area and have been contemplating taking it to the dealer. Lexuspro here charges $115/hr for labor.
Dealer charges what like $130/hr?
Also, I trust the dealer enough. More than I trust some of these indys I've gone too. Dealer has done all the service on the car, except oil and tires. So far they have done my Valley Plate, Fuel pump gaskets, Front Wheel Bearings, Radiator, and the sticky interior covered by the ZLZ program, If I remember correctly. It's been a few years.
Another reason of finding a good indy is getting THE SUSPENSION DONE RIGHT! THE FIRST TIME! At the current indy rates I rather trust the old heads at the dealer at this point.

Nope, I have not replaced the tensioner yet. I have the part, also have attempted this job. If not for the fan wire without breaking the tab that holds it away from the moving parts.

I believe it to be the timing chain tensioner. The indy shop i use to take my 09 LS disagreed with me and wanted to put another motor in it. Never got around to replacing it, I just bought another car, because I got tired of f***In with the dealer and indy shops
