Chicago Independent Lexus Service / Repair Shops
#1

Thinking about adding a low mileage IS to our Lexus family (would be my son's car).
Can anyone recommend a good independent Lexus shop in the northwest Chicago area?
I posted in the Chicago regional section but wanted a couple more recommendations on shops that deal more exclusively with the IS.
Thanks,
James

i dont know if there are any shops exclusively working with Lexus cars.
what kind of service or repairs did you have in mind? im sure any regular mama/papa shops can do services for cheap. i mean how hard is it to do oil changes, changing air filters, transmission oils is it?
if you're speaking more about performance shops, i think th motorsports and sound performance can help you with that. i believe theyre pretty familiar with lexus (considering th motorsports sponsors and hosts for my.is and sound performance, they worked on older IS models or generally speaking 2jz motors).

I think the engine needs a tune up because when it starts and idles it sounds like there is a slight unusual hum and click, but runs well on the highway.
1994 LS400 with 81,000 miles. I got it last year with 72,000 miles on it.
The steering pump leaks. A place on Dempster Avenue in Morton Grove was asking $800 to replace the steering pump seal and the rack and pinion (where there also was a leak).
I would like that taken care of too.
