I got another 6 k to go till I hit 90k and will buy all the parts from Sewell to do the service .
I was wondering if someone would recommend a shop in NYC area for this .
So far shop by me that did my LS 400 wants 350 for labor, but I just don't trust them for some reason. I have another shop that was highly regarded by a fellow I know with a IFS , and they want 850 which is not too bad I guess.
I care more about the quality of work more than anything. I don't want to be worried about something going wrong 4 month later due to bad workmanship .
I'd go to a dealer but I just don't trust them to do quality work , I have my reasons.
I'd do the whole thing myself but I feel too old for this sort of a project and rather pay for it to be done.
Any inputs?
Thank you.

I feel you.... I don't think I have the patience to tackle this by myself.
One of our members made a tutorial on it and made it look soo easy too lol.
GL on finding someone btw! I'd hit the "regional" section...

Thanks man.
I already bought the parts along with the tensioner and water pump, the deluxe kit from Lexus sewell
I have a few shops I have known for years who can do it for $350-400 but I'm afraid . What if the mess up, what if something happens down the road.
I still love the car, I think I'll keep it for a few more years. 99800 miles at this point. They racked up fast.
Gonna do tranny flush and diff flush along with the next oil ch age at Lexus .
