As with any marque, 'Lexus' doesn't have direct control over its dealships/service centers. Therefore, you are going to find some bad apples, and even some bad seeds (techs, service managers, etc) within those bad apples.
However, my experience has always been great at MY lexus dealership. Whenever I have a problem, minor or otherwise, they are always more than willing to take a look, work with me to diagnose, and fix.
Long story short, Lexus corporate does a good job bringing their dealerships in line with the 'customer first' mantra, and I've heard there can be severe penalties for dealerships that don't buy in. Saying that Lexus has bad customer service is just narrow-minded and myopic. If you have problems with your dealership, find a better one.

I've never noticed any "squeeks" or "rattles", but then again I'm not driving around listening for them either.
This may or may not be relevant.
I recently had a conversation with a service writer from a local BMW dealership, and the subject of pain in the **** customers came up. He has no love for 3 series owners (excluding the M). Of all the BMW models the entry level 3 series owners are the ones that ***** and moan about every little thing, demand stuff for free and always expect a loaner, no matter what.
Its the people who spent big money, 5 series and up that are the most friendly and never complain (don't have the time or have more imprtant things to worry about)
I wonder if this is the same observation a Lexus service writer would make?![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)

i rated 4 because of the rattles. and the seats could be better. my friend has an 08 maxima 3.5 SL and the seats feel better in his car. that's the only issues i have. some people complain of the rear view mirror vibrating is this cuz the bass of the music? that's the only time i see it move cuz of the bass in the radio playing. if you rate a 1, 2 or 3 why not trade this thing it and go get something else? didn't you people test drive you car on the street and highway. beat it up on a test drive then you know what you are getting.
