Default any neloc member got the TSIB done in NYC?

i was in the IS forum and there was a tread goin on about the dust problem for the 06-07 IS and the GS. i just want to know who went to any dealer around to get it done. i dont want to call all the dealer and get a "i dont know or have not got the message". i want to go the the dealer that did or know about and will do it. thx in advance.

Hey Pocky I have not gotten it done yet, but have been wondering the same thing you are. I see alot of people in CA are having it done without any problems, so why not us? It wont hurt to give the dealership a call up and ask them about it. Which dealer do you "deal" with. I have been underestimating Bay Ridge recently for some reason. I dont think they have very good mechanics. I might talk to Ray Catena, or even southhampton, who I deal with when I go out to my house there.Keep me posted on your status, if you become successful let me know, I cannot stand the squeeking & the brake dust any longer!

I would see about switching dealers to Lexus of Qns if you're going to stay in the 5 boroughs. They are all owned by the same team but the Qns location is the better of the three. I've been to all three to get warranty work done and my best experience was in Qns.

TSB for brake dust?? I guess the car can't pass the white glove inspection If Lexus is replacing those pads with low dust pads, that is great news. You guys would hate German cars as brake dust build up is all too common. The wheels on my X3 turn black every other day. I consider the brake dust "performance make up"

I know the service people at Bay Ridge and they just told me to bring a copy of the TSIB and they will take care of it for me. Kelvin is a cool dude too!
