Default Lexus Specialists in the SF Bay Area

Does anyone know of a good independent repair shop in the SF Bay Area that can work on my 2005 RX 330? Dealership wants to charge $1,300 for the 120K mile service. What is actually needed at the 120K mile service?

Main item would be to change the spark plugs. Possibly a change of the cabin air filter and engine air filter, both of which are very easy to do. Rest would be fluid changes and a bunch of just checking stuff.

you may want to call California Reflection in Livermore (925)455-4112. Kevin, the shop owner does great work and has worked on my Lexus with the fraction of the cost of the dealer. They have all the same equipment the dealer would have.

I have been very pleased with their service.

That shop has very high reviews on Yelp. They are listed as a Paint & Body shop, but apparently they do much more; such as Brakes, Rotors, Timing Belts, Water Pumps, Exhaust Systems, Plugs, etc. Betsy might want to give them a call.
