Default Recommend a service shop in Annapolis, MD

I need help finding a reputable service shop around the Annapolis area to take my GS430. The Lexus dealer wants to charge alot of money for some of the new parts I need and I know I can find better price. Thanks for any recommendations.

Haha, I hear that. I need to find a service shop that doesn't clean out my wallet like the dealer does.

I need a wheel alignment pretty bad and the dealer says my suspension ***** are worn and need to be replaced along with my two front tires before they recommend doing the alignment. All this stuff at the dealer costs $3100!!!

$3100 is stupid for that work!!

Alignment is the easy part, there are a ton of regular alignement shops that can hook you up with that. Tires, either catch a deal locally, or oder from Tire Rack. Tire Rack has decent prices and deliver real quick to this part of the country, two days in my experience. You can have the alignment shop do the moutn and balance of the tires.

As far as the suspension work goes, thats a different story. I would go to SRT in College park before I went to the dealer. Ask for Mo.

Personally, I would do them myself, but thats me.

I appreciate the info. Does SRT specialize in Lexus's or just does foreign cars as a whole?
