Sorry, don't know of  Lexus Inde near you but would have thought with what you describe a good auto electrical firm should be able to sort out your problem.   

I take it you have checked the car Battery is well charged, is producing adequate power and that the Battery connections are clean and reasonably tight.  There is also usually an earthing continuity metal strap between the body and engine/gearbox which needs to be in good enough condition to do its job.

There's Toyotec in Redhill. I don't have personal experience of them but there are a number of recommendations on the forum. Search for Toyotec in the forum search box.

Here's one of the comments but there are others.

Your profile only shows the car as an IS, but is that an IS200, an IS300, an IS220d, an IS250C, an IS300h or what?

The accuracy and usefulness of an answer depends on which car; the IS300h for instance, doesn't even have a starter motor.

What, exactly, is happening when you try to start it? Are there any OBD codes?

She isn't asking for help on diagnosing the problem. She's asking if anyone knows of a Lexus specialist. It's a simple request and the model isn't relevant to that question!

As for only showing it's an IS, that's not quite correct; her profile says it's a 2010 model. So I'm happy to be corrected but I don't think it could be IS300h which was the first hybrid IS, launched in 2013.

Though I'm sure, if she wants to provide some more details, there are plenty of people who would be willing to suggest what might be wrong with the car.

I agree, but Lexus specialists cost money and she may not have to spend any if she gives us more details. She's already 'self-diagnosed' when she says that she has either an electronics problem or needs a new starter motor - but is that diagnosis correct? We could help to answer that question if we had more details and she may not have to spend any money.

You're probably correct but I was trying to illustrate a point and I think I did that quite well, if I do say so myself

I think maybe Monica is another 'one post wonder' who never comes back to let us know how things panned out.
