  1. Hi Lexus brighton = mot + 40k service + 10 % gold discount = £320 inclusive bargin top job and as good as new, lots of things filled and replaced. its about a 2 hour job. labour was half this at £55 hr (£110) and rest was parts + extra 1 hr for MOT + vat. 3 hours in total think this was a fair price. and free coffee and doughnuts (mmmmm) as well as valeted inside and out. why else would we choose this make of car..??? :D
  2. Platnium Ice.... now well over 100 coats of Zymol bling bling..got to protect somehow..if i could get away with natural beeswax i would to form a solid coat without the loss of shine.
  3. Hi Just been to dealers Asked the dealer : Can i have Touch up stick? reply: These are not in the country at the moment as Toyota hasnt yet released new stock? Apparently all new cars are shipped with a pot to cover any mishaps on route? So where do they go? Chips or dentaway? So as i see it we are all driving cars that you cant get a bit of lippy for..to hide the fact paint is flawed. Were do we all stand now?? free resprays using a better hardened paint ...Until i get hold of mine its back to lots of polish and preys?

  18. Tells you in owners handbook, mentioned if you need to carry out bulb replacement. hope this helps.
  19. I have today out of curiousity rang round to find out the cost difference between dealers, i think theres something a miss here,see below. Service intervals:(all inclusive of Vat) Southampton: ----- Reading:------- Oxford: --------Poole: 30k---£95.84 ----- £100ish----------- n/a -----------£250 40k £199.71-------£260----------- £365--------- £180 50k £95.84 ------ £100ish---------£170---------- n/a 60k £334.13------£370-----------£395------- n/a 70k £95.84-------£100ish---------£170--------n/a 80k £199.71------£230------------£310-------n/a 90k £95.84-------£100ish----------£170-----------n/a 100k £183.73(Timing Belt £359.89) Southampton 100k £250 (T/belt £390) Reading 100k £600 Oxford 100k £500 Poole. Mot all £39.25 Seems to be a big range of Pricing here? think you need Gold discount at Big Dealers top marks to Southampton for being realistic, and demonstrating that being a Lexus owner is possible to all and reflects that ownership is trouble free and lady in servicing great help understands the Lexus commitment to customer service.. so If her boss is looking give that lady a day off, Long may they remain focused on Customer Service. so anyone out there wish to add there comments.
