Looking for lexus service garage

[Cotswold Pete]

I have just found out that my usual service place in Swindon 'Gas & Go', is no longer servicing cars, a great shame as I found them to be pretty good over last 5 years.

Does anyone know of a decent place in the Bristol, Cheltenham, Swindon triangle that they would recommend for working on the LS.

Bended knee? PERLEASE>>>>?Pity as 'gas + go' had Lexus background I thought (unless personnel has changed?)

 

Good luck.

I have used Profess in south Wales along with many other LOC members. I live near Reading so its quite a trek but they are well worth it. They are brilliant.

Hi Chris.

I travel from Gloucester to Newport for my annual service. Osaka are extremely knowledgeable and fairly priced, imho

Im in London but I used profess S Wales, excellent LPG services, well worth the 300 mile round trip.

Thanks for info, I forgot to say that my beast is not LPG, but Osaka look like a possibility, at least I can get train back home if I needed to.

Why would it need a toyota/lexus specialist? any competant indi should be able to do it, also I suggest you use a cambelt 'kit' & get the water pump & tensioners etc changed at the same time

My own expereince of good indi garages is they are great for 99% of things, and in the main even cambelt changes etc, but always like to have a indi that does specialise in a particualr make of car for those 1% of problems that the specialists are more likely to have fixed in the past.

Had running gear issues on my Omega years ago, the indi tried this, and tried that, and after a little too much expense a local Vauxhall expert got it sorted, and funnlily enough had simialr experience with suspension issues on my Mk3 LS, which at least my Indi chap admitted he did not know what the problem was.

So I will probably keep Osaka (and Japex) in my telephone just in case I have another one of thos 1% problems.

Got the same issue with my wife X-type, with very random fuel problems, so hopefully located an indi Jag specialist who can have a look at.  Trouble is they are all clocking off for Xmas about now

True, there's not much they don't know about Lexus.
