Default Mechanic Please

Hey fellas
I'm looking for a good and respectable Lexus Mechanic in Central/or North Jersey area. My truck is in good condition but I want to be prepared for major maintenance in the future.
Thanks.

Great dealer alternative, honest, available, prices fair, that does not mean cheap, good diagnosticians, go check the place out, very clean shop. Probably one of the nicer non dealer shops that service most brands. They have been around a long time and have a large loyal following. I had an invisible 3m bra put on by chris (above the shop) ALL IN THE DETAILS, and that is when I discovered the place. Also on site a used car dealership called High Marque, sells porches and other exotics used. All of them work together, but separate businesses, take a ride by.

i've used high marques in the past. they're very good. they also do a great job detailing your vehicle. chris does an excellent job. the detail shop is directly behind the showroom on the right hand side of the building.

Perfect. I appreciate your answers fellas. I was more so looking for a mechanic who work at Lexus dealer but does work on the side. These guys usually give you half off in comparison to dealers and shop. However, I will considered this shop for major stuff.
Thanks

Hey LZMF1 what's up dude. thanks for asking. I ended up changing all the door lights and my license plates using V-LEDS. They came out very nice. By the time I got around to do the running board, it got too cold. I crawl under the car for planning and saw some bolts that attach the boards, but I couldn't make out exactly how to get the bulbs. I'll try again around April, God willing.

thanks

you twist the socket and bulb out. pull the old incandescent bulb out of the socket and put the LED bulb in. the whole catch is the polarity. if you don't get the polarity correct it obviously won't light up and you'll have to reverse it. very easy to do
