Does anyone know of a good independent Lexus mechanic in the Atlanta area who can possibly work on my 98 gs400 oil leaks. The biggest leaks are coming from the rear main seal and probally the cam seals. They say that leaks are coming from other places and although im not a mechanic, i think that its probally not possible since i had those parts replaced at a independent shop. ( wont go back to them because ive dumped about 500 on replacement parts and labor there and each time it was nothing more than a bandaid to the oil leak problem) the dealer wants an arm and a leg to attempt to fix these leaks and I really don't have the kind of cash they are talking. I'd do better trading the car and picking up a $300 a month car note, but all that would get me is a economy box with a 4cyl engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the recommendations. Looking at the website and I may be wrong, but is zen motors significantly cheaper than a actual Lexus dealership?

I am having this same problem and was just curious how much you ended up having to pay to get this fixed. I am waiting on a qoute froma mechanic her in NC and just wanted to make sure I am not getting hosed. Mechanic already fixed the Oil Pan gasket because that is what he initially thought it was but since the oil kept leaking he looked further and realized it was the Cam Seals. He is giving me credit for the previous work so it's cool but I still want to know about how much this type of thing should cost.

typically, on a 2jz. timing belt, front main seals, and cam seals is a 5.3 hour job.
