Update - We are still waiting to see what shakes out between the dealership and corporate.

Ive pulled service records from all three of our Lexuses which have been serviced by this dealer before. There has been a couple instances in which we had to take cars in for recall twice as the work was not satisfactory.

Aside from this, not sure how much leverage I have in getting the dealer to help out.

 

Care to share the name of this dealership?

 

Well, I hope for the best for you but the engine was most likely destroyed in that "few miles". It will be hard to get that past Lexus for any neglect on their part. On the other hand, they've covered some amazing things for people.

Best of luck and let us know what transpires. If you decide to repair it we will do all we can to help you.
