Default Found a Lexus tech for us NELOCs

I just had my timing belt, water pump, timing pulleys, tensioner, drive belt, coolant flush, and a few other minor things done by a lexus tech for 3 bills. Anyone who is interested give me a pm, and I will get you his number. Oh, and this was on a GS430. Can't beat a deal like this.

Oh, i supplied the parts. Although he said that if I met him earlier, he would have gotten them for me much cheaper.

Your location, or location of said mechanic would help out more so than knowing that you live in a McDonald's

Ooops my bad. Brooklyn, NY. He picked my car up here, but the lexus dealership is in NJ.

One of the guys has been doing this for 13 years, and the guy that did mine worked there for like 4 or 5 years. Regardless, he did a superb job, very cheap. He even did a manual swap on a gs300.

Actually Ray Catena here in NJ is pretty good from what I hear. I work at Toyota and the Lexus is next door. But the Lex mechanic I have and is real good friend i've known for years. Also he was the one who helped kietlander with his 1jz swap in his SC300.
