How To Choose A Quality Mechanic Who Won’t Rip You Off

Reed — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 22:09:36 +0000

Gregg Hall asked:

Everyone knows that proper and regular maintenance is necessary to keep your automobile in good working order. Even though you may have worked on your own cars as a teenager or still consider yourself to be an amateur car repair specialist I recommend that you leave the work to a qualified mechanic who has been trained to do the job properly. This is especially important on higher end vehicle makes such as Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus where the maintenance records play a large part in determining the value of a vehicle when you decide to sell it or trade it.

Deciding on a mechanic to entrust with caring for your vehicle is an important decision and should not be taken lightly. Finding the perfect mechanic isn’t rocket science but on the other hand there isn’t exactly a manual on how to find a good one either. Here are some things to keep in mind that will help you.

First off, ask the prospective mechanic for some references. Tell him what’s in it for him. If you own several vehicles let him know that you will bring all of them to him for regular maintenance and repairs. Tell him that you take the car of your vehicles seriously and that is why you want to be able to speak to some of his customers to see what they have to say. If he is a reputable mechanic he will have no problem with this because he will have a long list of happy and satisfied clients. Another thing you can do along these same lines is ask friends and relatives who they use to take care of their cars and trucks. If you ask enough people you are sure to find a name that comes up often.

The next thing you should be concerned with is his qualifications or certifications. I prefer using a mechanic who is ASE certified as this is the industry standard and insures that the mechanic is proficient in his craft. Don’t be afraid to ask the mechanic about this, a good mechanic will be proud of their achievements and will lost likely have them displayed where they can be seen. Don’t trust you automobile to a shade tree mechanic.

If you belong to a car club for your particular make of vehicle ask other owners who they use. Most likely you will find that the majority of them use the same person who specializes in your particular vehicle and may even offer a discount to members of your club.

Finding a quality mechanic is important to the life of your car, don’t underestimate this and take the time to find a good one.

The first few miles behind the wheel of the 2010 Lexus HS 250h trigger a cascade of questions about this new car’s reason for being. Why a four-cylinder engine in a luxury car? Why not simply Lexus-ize the existing Toyota Camry Hybrid? Why introduce a new sedan that is so similar in size to the existing Lexus ES 350 in the first place?

But it doesn’t take more than a couple of days to have these questions answered. Clearly, Lexus sees no paradox in the addition of a full hybrid to its lineup of luxury cars. Despite the fact that the 2010 Lexus HS 250h with its modest 2.4-liter gasoline engine is closer in concept to the Toyota Prius than the Lexus LS 600h, this new model nevertheless effectively represents the Lexus idea of luxury, safety and convenience in the same way that its six- and eight-cylinder stable mates do.

It’s a Lexus-style hybrid, because practicality and efficiency are legitimate Lexus values, too. Is everybody on the same page now?

Carbon Fiber Lexus Emblem Insert – IS300 is 300

Reed — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 02:00:26 +0000

Custom cut carbon fiber emblem insert for my Lexus IS300. Wow dash trims are not very good. The problem is that you can see the edge of the carbon fiber and 3M tape when you install it. I would sum it up as crap for the designed use. I found something to do with it though. I think it turned out sweet.
