LXT Automotive
Hey guys, a few months back I read a thread on local lexus shops. So i decided to go with LXT to try them out. In NO WAY am i trying to advertise just goin to give a review on their shop since no one seems to have gone there.
Ok so i turned in my car to LXT Automotive and i met with the owner of the shop and his name is Nelson Guevara. Seems like a pretty cool guy. We got down to business and he charged me 200$ for a full inspection of the car to find out any problems as far as MD inspection Regulations. 200 seemed a bit much but i said "what the hell" this way ill find out any problems the car might have. Waiting on him to call me, i dropped the car off friday he 18th of September and im still waiting on him to call me with news lol.
I must say i am a bit surprised considering this is suppose to be a "cheaper" place to take it. I will be keeping you guys posted on this shop.

1. $200 is a bit steep for inspection.
2. MD inspection doesn't take 8 days to do. Most places, reputable or not, can do it in no more than 1 day.
3. Get your car immediately and never return there.
Remember "cheaper" isn't always better.
