It might be a drive, but Tommy at music box in el Monte is a good shop. I used to live at 818 area and still drive to Tommy for automotive needs.

Thanks for the shop recommendations but I'm surprised there's no shop in the 818 area code that predominately works on Lexus Toyota vehicles.

It's a daily driver so down time is my main concern. I usually don't leave my vehicles overnight if it's some work that I know can be knocked out in a day.

2KRacing on Reseda near Vanowen. Call first to set an appt.

7001 Reseda Blvd.
Reseda, CA 91335

(818)344-4410

I would kinda suggest Mid-Valley but they aren't consistent in their pricing. If they are super busy, they'll throw a crazy price to scare you away which turned me off. They have done my car the first time with decent pricing. Second time around they threw me some bs excuse of why they couldn't lower my wife's Tc. Offered 300 on a Tc... LOL, so then I went to 2KRacing and agreed on 160. Huge difference. Yes Mid-Valley got some crazy builds like skylines sitting out there but the pricing turned me off. There's also Darkside Motoring but they've been known to RIP you and your wallet a new one. Hope this helps.
