Hey guys, a few months back I read a thread on local lexus shops. So i decided to go with LXT to try them out. In NO WAY am i trying to advertise just goin to give a review on their shop since no one seems to have gone there.

Ok so i turned in my car to LXT Automotive and i met with the owner of the shop and his name is Nelson Guevara. Seems like a pretty cool guy. We got down to business and he charged me 200$ for a full inspection of the car to find out any problems as far as MD inspection Regulations. 200 seemed a bit much but i said "what the hell" this way ill find out any problems the car might have. Waiting on him to call me, i dropped the car off friday he 18th of September and im still waiting on him to call me with news lol.
I must say i am a bit surprised considering this is suppose to be a "cheaper" place to take it. I will be keeping you guys posted on this shop.

 

1. $200 is a bit steep for inspection.
2. MD inspection doesn't take 8 days to do. Most places, reputable or not, can do it in no more than 1 day.
3. Get your car immediately and never return there.

Remember "cheaper" isn't always better.

 

^^^ lol, the shop must b really BUSY huh?! 8 days for an inspection? hmmm, are they tearing down the whole engine to check for bearing wear???

 

Chop shop is probably another name for it... Yea, 8 days is crazy to check out the car, especially they not doing any work to it.

 

Thanks for the replies, and yes 200 is a bit much. I honestly AM thinking of taking it to another shop. NUMBER 1 reason being he didnt know what motor i had (1jz) Anyone want to recommend ANOTHER shop to me? I live near beltsville, MD.

 

Makes me think of Ferris Bueller...

Sure, we'll take excellent care of it
