Default Anyone know a good Lexus Mechanic?

Does anyone have any good references to a good Lexus Mechanic?

I'm going to need one to get my beater up to spec on certain issues. Some issues can wait, but will be replacing some parts now.

Issues on the list:
Timing Belt and water pump
Rear CV boots
Rear Knuckle bushings
Front upper control arms

Thanks for any info.

Talk to naseeb. He got his beater cleaned up and up to winter beater use last year.

His car runs silky smooth. BTW, what'd you get?

I got a 92 LS400. 66k Miles. Excellent cosmetic condition. Does need some maintenance done though... But drives great.

Hell after what this maintenance is going to run.... probably not.

Was originally thinking just some decent rims. But now I'm planning on keeping it bone stock.

As long as it runs well then I have no plans to dump any more money into it.

Tony, I snapped some pics yesterday. I'll upload them tonight.

keep the 16" stockers. they're cheap and easy to replace. and light(er). OEM rollers FTW.
