Default Lexus service in 559 (Fresno)

Are there any shop around Fresno/clovis area that can work/service Lexus and is recommended besides the dealer? I'm wanting to get some stuff done and replace and will be buying all parts just need someone to do labor. Things gonna be doing are timing belt, water pump and full coilovers. I know there DIY on these things but still new to Lexus and just want it done right the first time.

Tell me about it! I would DIY but would like someone who know what they doing possibly help guide through with me, I've worked on honda before and don't mind taking risk much on them cause when come to comparing parts Lexus is more expensive so better to do it right

That works for me. I think as long as we don't break something it should be alright lol. I have a sc400 so it shouldn't be that bad.
