Independent Lexus service around Stockport?

Being a skinflint, and with my GS300h overdue a service (it's on 43k now and not had one for about 16k miles) because cash has been tight, I was wondering whether there were any independent Lexus garages around Stockport who can do a decent job? It seems to be such a complex vehicle that I'm not sure I would entrust it to a run-of-the-mill local garage.

I was spoilt for choice with my Mercedes which I had prior to the Lexus but Googling doesn't seem to bring any joy for independent Lexus specialists.

Do I just have to stump up the cash?!

I don't live in the area so I can't answer your question but, a lot of the complexities won't be service items anyway will they? Have a look in your manual and see what items a service at 43k (or nearest mileage) covers. If there's something Lexus-specific then you've got your answer, but if it's only things like oil and filter, air filter etc., then any garage with a good reputation will be able to do it.

One thing to note is that your car is only 3 years old, which means that the Lexus stamp in the service record is still quite a desirable thing when you come to sell.

Thanks, John.

This is what I will get for my £485

Doesn't look like great value for money or anything that any honest, half competent mechanic wouldn't be able to do! I'm struggling to see the advantage of going to the main dealer.

With no plan to sell it for at least another 3 years, I think I might just take it to 'Dave' who does the missus' little Fiat!

I agree Keiron, Dave should be able to handle that, no problem
