I just picked up my first Lexus, a '92 SC400. With the high miles on this car and my own history of patronizing independent shops, I'm disinclined to start going to a dealer for repairs. Can anyone recommend going to--or avoiding--any particular shops in Seattle or Bellevue?

I'm wondering particulary about Greg's Japanese Auto in downtown Seattle or Moss Alley Motors on Capitol Hill. Or should I change my ways and take the car to Lexus of Bellevue, which is on my way to work. The immediate need: I think the power steering pump is leaking onto the alternator.

 

Hi there, i just read your post--do you have any recommendations for shops to repair/maintain Lexus vehicles? If you could let me know your thoughts, that would be great.

 

I've had my 92 ES300 for 3 years. I've had a major tune up last year and took it to Greg's in Bellevue. They were pretty good, plus they have their own radio show on KJR I believe. I've taken my car to the dealer on minor things like for parts, etc.

 

there are some pretty good shops in the area go with who you feel comfortable with.you might give lexus of bellevue a try khea is a good service writer tell him steve sent ya from cl

 

Cool--thanks guys. I'll give some of the places a call to see what they can do.
