Talking Connecticut

I bought a 2007 LX 470 (55k miles) in 10/1/2010 for $38k. + $1k ipod controller.
My car now has 75k miles. My neighbor used to be a toyota repair technician (for 5 years). He is now a CNC technician and work on cars in the weekend.
My neighbor is a toyota member and get some killer discount on OEM toyota parts.

ON 9/1/13 I replaced 2 front rotors and pads, shims. $280 for parts, $200 for labor. Lexus wanted $700.

3/21/14 I have my car tuned up. sparkplus, belt, air controller: $192 for parts. $100 for labor.

My car has been pretty much perfection. Loving the ride now that new sparkplus kinda tranform it into a formular 1 racer

Anyone living in Connecticut tired of getting ripped off at the stealers, contact me. I'll hook you up with my neighbor.
