Lexus dealerships charge a ballpark price of $500 dollars for T-belt change, so you can compare this price with the price at whatever shop your going to and see if your getting a good deal.

Or you can go to my guy...676 65th Street, Brooklyn NY 718-833-8823 ask for Key...My guy does the best work for chump change...We used to have 7 SC's in our group that go to him for everything...So I can guarantee you that he knows what hes doing...

Nice you put up an ad for Key.
I can vouch for Key, he has been my mechanic for 8 years and has done plenty of timing belt changes for every generation and every model lexus. He does it all. You can call him up and ask for a quote. He took good care of my integra, SC300, & now my Supra

Dealer charges more like 1100 bucks for that service. What a rip off. It is just a belt and water pump change. You can go with one of the two shops mentioned above to get that done

I was at Bay Ridge last summer, they were willing to completely tune my car for 1500. Not bad but, I wouldn't trust them with my car...

Get your price from Key, and I will have my brother match it or beat it. He has done timing belts, trannies, engines, etc on the gs4.

I can vouch for Gazi's bro. He replaced a entire 1uzfe from a silver GS4 that got a bolt caught in the motor from a botched up job from some other mechanic. Mike swapped that baby out and put in another motor,and that car is movin and groovin now.
