Have anybody ever went to the Dealership to have their fuel system cleaned. I got a coupon from Hendrick Lexus to get it done for $99.99. What does it actually clean?

I just had mine done..
It's basically the same if you're putting the solution in the gas tank. The only difference is that it's more concentrated when you run it directly to the fuel rail. Plus, you dont have to wait for a full tank to be empty get the same effect. You would need a good amount of cleaner in the gas tank to get the same concentration as if you were to run it through the fuel injector cleaner canister.
I used lucas fuel injector cleaner (found at autozone) mixed with gasoline in a 50/50 concentration. My injectors were ticking pretty loud, but after the cleaner was performed, the lubrication in the lucas cleaner made everything quieter. Plus I got rid of the rough idle I had. I'm going to see if my fuel economy is restored though, because I've been getting 14/18 mpg.
The cleaner itself is no different really. You can use most cleaners. It's just the process that makes the cleaner work more effectively (and quicker). Smoke was coming out of my tailpipe like crazy. Talk about carbon build-up

i used to work for a lexus dealer and we would clean the tb with a chemical cleaner, add an additive in the gas, and then run a injector cleaner through a vacum source. so it chemically cleaned the injector ports along with your tb.

Whats a good place to perform such service in NYC area? I don't trust Lexus dealers, particulary the local Bay Ridge Lexus, I think they will just charge a buttload of money and wont do a complete procedure, probably just add some BG44K to the fuel tank and that's it.
