Consumer Advocate Stick Bogart Replies to this report # 4630:::::::::::::::: most service advisors are burnt out car salesmen First the starter replacement of $585 is way OUT OF WACK and a tune up for 896.61 is insane. Spark plugs, distrib cap, rotor, and fuel filters and an air filter for $896.61 is a RIP OFF, all by it's self. The parts alone should cost no more then $150 for a tune up. The mentioned $3,000 dollars of suspension work is another way of the dealer to ask is the car owner a sucker, lets find out by asking if we can do $3,000 dollars worth of suspension work. Please, all car owners, understand that most service advisors are burnt out car salesmen. They never forget how to take the buyer/Owner for a ride. When this service advisor told you that your starter was bent, I would have told them that you will take your car some where else. ...A starter "BENT" How is that? Have questions Email me [email protected] or the publisher [email protected] if you have any further questions regarding the BBB. I also called Lexus 800 number and I FEEL the lady I talked to has been PROGRAMED to just pass the buck, In short they do not care. I feel that Lexus should make the dealer refund the price of the starter and the labor. I feel lexus will NOTHING !!!!!!!! [email protected] Auto Buyers Consumer Advocate
