Hi Guys, need some advice from those in the know:

My IS200 is overdue it's 120000 miles service :whistling: i'm gonna ring around now for some quotes from dealerships in NWest. If these quotes are past my budget is it worth getting it done by an independent garage? Or possibly gettin it done by a Toyota dealership? Any idea how it would affect sell on value short term/long term? :crybaby:

Thanx!!!

Not many Toyota dealer will do the work. Toyota GB and Lexus GB won't let them.

Resale value - it will be lower if you don't have FLSH but you have very high mileage so you won't get top price anyway.

i didnt know there a limit of what servicing car dealers do / dont do?? or find a specialist japanese car or lexus garage that isnt assocaited with toyota lexus.

Cheers guys, Just thought it might have made a difference cos every previous service has been carried out by Lexus.

Claire where abouts is ProLex-UK? Can you recommend them? Any idea how much I'll be looking at from them? Thanx again!

Any garage can service any car but Lexus GB and Toyota GB being owned by the same company restrict what is allowed. Toyota GB won't supply Lexus parts to a non-Lexus dealer nor will they give them access codes for the EPC or give them the diagnostic software or ECU firmware etc.

Prolex-UK has been set up by 2 chaps in LOC and although I've not used them, a fair few people on the site have. Not sure of the areas they cover, but PM Prolex-Uk or Zee007 and they'll be able to help. The website is www.prolex-uk.com.
