Default Service Shop in Alexandria Virginia

I have a new GS300 AWD and am tired of paying the dealer a fortune for oil changes. Can anyone recommend a reputable shop in Alexandria or nearby that can service and change my oil for less? Any referals are greatly reccomended.

if you have a garage it will always be cheaper to do it yourself. access to the panel from what i understand has about 10 bolts or screws. id hate to take it to jiffy lube or some other fly by night outfit only to discover they put half the screws back. just my two cents.

Well I know of one shop that my father and I go to for car work on our Lexus and Toyota. They are called Prime Auto Care on Route 1. Some of the mechanics there use to work for Toyota for many years until they open their own shop.

My dad has an 06 LS 430 and he gets his oil change done through them. What my dad does is that he goes to toyota dealer and gets the oil for 06 Landcruiser which is the same oil filter on the LS 430 and he buys the oil for either the dealer or pep boys and takes it to the shop and just pay shop labor which is not to much. You will save money going this route vs. going to the Lindsay Lexus.
