Let it all out brother, we're here to help you man.


I think you need to call up the manager and explain the situation, and ask him why you have to be the guy telling the techs what to do, they are supposed to be "experts", and you shouldnt be the guy telling them the problem. Sometimes thats what I hate about the dealer, they have this guy who thinks he knows whats going on, but in reality, he doesnt know an SC from an LS. Then he inisists that he's right and im wrong, not fully knowing that I've taken my car apart several times, but since he's in the Lexus jumpsuit, thats somehow he's supposed to know better, and im not supposed to know anything at all.

Thanks for letting me rant myself..... Anyone else has anything he wants to let go?
