Default Time for my 60K - Mechanic recommendation

Hi:

I am hoping someone can recommend a good Lexus mechanic in the Portland, OR area. I called the local dealer and nearly fell off the seat when they told me how much it would be. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

What kind of Lexus do you have? If you don't mind driving to WA to vancouver toyota, there's a guy I've been going to that does a great job. He worked at Lexus of portland for a few years and is now the head mechanic at toyota. I normally try to deal with him directly when he's not busy, but you could also get a repair quote from the dealer and request him to work on your car. PM me for additional details

How much did they quote? Always good to hear the real numbers.
