[Lexkid]

My very dear fellow petrol heads the time has come to give my GS 300 a treat (service)

just wondering if you know any reliable garage in dartford kent or close i can visit

thanks my peeps !! :D

[TheDon]

there is Lexus Sidcup on Ruxley Roundabout... thats about 10 mins from dartford..

There is also an indipendant lexus specialist in sidcup

[Lexkid]

thank U da don i would be more interested in the independent lexus specialist if u can pls 4ward me the details

regards mate!!1

[TheDon]

bugger, cant remember thier name.. a few people on here have used them... put up a question in the main room

[Keith Bowler]

I know the one you mean, they advertise in the Newsshopper Local rag.

They used to offer a collection and delivery service and IIRC were about half the price of a dealer.

They were recommended to me but I never used them.

[Lexkid]

So who do you use then Keith or dont u service your car??lol :shutit:

[TheDon]

i do most of my own and only trust to dealers what i cant do myself... only becuase i have an inherant distrust of people.. lol... for example brakes and brake fluid.. will only do it myself.. even if i have people help me i have to double check their work!

Routine service stuff is soo easy.. and in the end you save yourself hundreds for a few hours work

Derek @ Tech-one in Sidcup everytime...

[Bazza]

although a bit further to go

heard some good things about

ABM "independent Toyota and lexus Specialist"

Worsley bridge road in beckenham

I use a chap in Sutton who works from his garage at home.

A great guy who only works on Toyota and Lexus' goes under the name of ToyotaLexus Services IIRC.

I have heard of them too Bazza but never used them.

Trouble I find with garages in the Bromley area are pricey 'cos the owners take the view that locals are 'minted'.

I tend to go a little further afield like the guy I use in Sutton.

Try Westfield Motors. Independent Lexus garage.

[Lexkid]

hahaha red baron Deptford aint that bad !!!

thanks for the contribution guys i found an independent garage in thamesmead ,will try them out over the weekend,

my Lex has no warring lights on the dash and isnt running funny just think i need to do a service since i bought it in may this yr and dont know when the previous owner serviced it last but sure runs like a baby and is was well maintained so babic stuff

engine oil change

transmission oil change

spark plugs

air filter

oil filter

did i miss anything else??????

[TheDon]

definately make sure they know what they are doing with regards to your transmission... and definately make sure that they put the Toyota specific ATF fluid in... IIRC its about £90 worth so may be better supplying it yourself rather than him adding his markup

[Lexkid]

thanks 4 the info THE DON i will make sure they use the right ATF recommended by toyota

kind regards

[DJ Wozza]

I think it's about £45 + vat for 4 litres, they don't seem to sell it in smaller quantities.

[TheDon]

think its about 8 litres for a complete flush through

[Keith Bowler]

Try Westfield Motors. Independent Lexus garage.

Where are Westfield located then Rich 0B

Would anyone recommend an Garagist or an independent neither Dartford, Woolwich,  Bexleyheath or surroundings please? Lexus Sidcup diagnosed a leaking tank and I want to get a trusted second opinion on repair cost.

Anyone used a Lexus independent for anything sensible like that? I don't mind driving further for any good reliable Garagist.

This company..https://www.tech-one.co.uk is still trading around the back of Sidcup high street , been going a good few years so worth a call 👍🏻

[halpulaar]
