The What Shop Should I go to Thread...
Most of us here don't go to the dealer for service so it would be nice if everyone could make a recommendation for a shop, mechanic, autobody ect... I've been seeing a ton of post asking where can i get this or that fixed or changed. Just post of up the name of the shop, the location, contact info for the shop, and the type of work you get done by them and maybe even what you paid. This way we can all have a handy reference with objective information. 
For me:
Major work.................. Lexus of Rockville Centre
Alignments.................. Lexus of Rockville Centre
Tire repairs/balancing.....Ganin Tires in Brooklyn
Fluid changes................Avis Lube in Elmont LI
Suspension/brake work....104 Auto in Queens (Gazi)

Based on my experience over the years, the answer is yes.. Things may be different now.. Back in 02, I took my GS4 to Rallye for service & was not pleased with the results & price.. I had a coolant service completed & instead of Toyota Red (which was in the car prior), green coolant was utilized. Labor was about $90 per hour back then and boy did it add up fast.. I will post comparison reciepts later..
You guys can get basic services at 104 Auto (Gazi) for less..
or
those who live further out on the Island can check out Jeff at Maximum Tuning.. He is a former Lexus Tech who has also done work for many here.

Preventive maintainence is important guys.. Don't wait for parts to fail.

To get my Transponder Keys cut I went to:
OK Lock - Auto Glass - Alarm
156-13 Northern Blvd in Flushing
718-961-4660
718-961-3934
I think I paid about $30 to get two keys cut. I programmed them myself though.
