Lexus want to raise it's customer service level
Not a lot of information in the link, but I think it 's interesting that while GM and VW seem to be going further into the customer satisfaction (and sales) dumpster, industry leader Lexus says it needs to improve it's service.
Lexus Raises Bar on Customer Satisfaction
Nice quote "A free espresso, an explanatory meeting in the service drive and a detailed car afterward was 'wow' back in 1994. But not today." -- Bob Carter, general manager, Lexus Division
Unfortunately, I do not have a login for the full article listed in the first web source of that link.

I feel the same way about Lexus of Seattle. Screw the damn free chocolates, espresso, and car wash, i'm there to get my car fixed in a reasonable time and get on my way, if it's going to take you 4 hours to do an oil change then don't tell me 2 hours and then make a bunch of friggin excuses about it

As for specific dealer service, my first Lexus was from Tom Wood in Indianapolis. Great service throughout my entire ownership. When I got my GS, it was from Bredemann Lexus in Westmont, IL (Chicago burb) and they have been pretty good as well. My father picked up his CPO 01 LS430 from McGath Lexus of Chicago, the areas largest Lexus dealer. They have been contiually disappointing. It started just after the sale. They said a 2nd master key would be sent his way, never showed up. They said they'd upgrade the nav, they didn't. They were far from apologetic for each, basically saying they didn't promise either when I was there and heard the salesperson guarantee both. They also said they'd replace the driver's mat, which didn't happen either. Lexus nat'l customer service was brought in and eventualy the Peoria, IL dealer took care of him and he's been a happy customer of that dealer ever since.
Someone in our family buys a new or CPO Lexus every few years and McGath new that, yet they just didn't seem to care to keep us as happy customers. Their loss, but I was still very surprised to experience that from a Lexus dealer. To be honest, I actually expected Lexus customer service to work harder at fixing the issues with McGath, rather than having another dealer take care of my Dad's issues, but the other dealer was closer so I suppose the arguement was it would be more convenient.
I'm all for continuing to improve the already good service record of Lexus dealers in general. I just hope the recent quips from Toyota about possibly raising their US car prices to help GM doesn't also apply to Lexus, I'll be looking for another Lexus in a couple of years.
