Hello Everyone,
I recently joined the club and I really like all this club already.
I bought an used 2007 GS350 and it had about 25000miles.
And it did not received 25K maintenance yet.
Can anyone recommend me a dealership in Illinois?
I live at Champaign and there is no Lexus dealership around here, the closest one is one in Peoria or I have to go to Chicago area. (not much difference in distance though)
Also, one of my tire loses pressure. A week ago I pumped it to 33psi and now it is 23psi so I had to pump it up again.
Should I get the tire replaced?
Thanks in advance.

If it's a tire problem that your having I would recommend taking it to a tire shop (Discount tire, etc.) If the tire is slowly leaking air it might be because of a defective valve stem or a nail that you just can't see.
Place the tire under water, pool or tub, and see if you see any small fizzing or bubbles which can help you pinpoint the air loss location.

I bought it from dealership and the tires are the original factory tires.
I need to change oil and need to do 25K maintenance as well as the tire.
Should I visit a tire shop and Lexus dealership separately?
Thank you,

I suggest McGrath of Westmont if you're in that area. Top notch service and this dealership is very nice. The service bay is HUGE, the lounge is nice and they always offer nice loaners.
Just make sure you don't get dooped into pointless inspections and yadda yadda. During a routine oil/filter ~$60 the service advisor suggested that i have the tires rotated for about 100 bucks, i said no thanks.
and about the tire problem, i agree with Luvmy350, bring it back to the dealership you bought it from and see if they can do anything for you, seeing as you just bought a car from them.
