Hi,
Just come across your site (wish I'd seen it earlier).
I've had my IS200 SE for about 14 months now and it's picked up one slight ding at Asda and a couple of stone chips.
After last weekend (sister opened passenger door into a wall - ouch!) I've decided to see if I can touch it up.
For the chips I was considering a kit from Halfords (including primer, paint and enamel) using the touch up paint supplied with the car instead of the paint in the kit.
Any suggestions here? or could you recommend someone who might do it (at a reasonable price - the chips are v. small) professionally? (I live in the Reading area).
As for the ding - any recommendations - the paint isn't chipped and it's very slight (can't see it up close).
Lastly (I'm full of questions today!) - where can I get the red logo calipers?
Cheers,
Simon

A long time lurker, but I don't think I've posted before...
My old IS200 has just pipped the 80K mark, so it's major service time again and I'm also overdue on changing the cambelt. Called Lexus Reading today and I'm looking at £446 for the service and £362 for the belt change. Now I've always used Reading since I bought the car there seven years ago and I've been very pleased with their level of service, but I think it's time I shopped around a bit.
I've used the nationals like Kwik-Fit and Nationwide in the past (prior to the Lexus) with mixed results and to be honest I'd like to take it somewhere where they specialise in Lexus / Toyota, but searching the forums and Google none seem to be all that close.
So can anyone recommend a good independent in the Berkshire area?
