Lexus of Towson - Service Center

So I broug So, I got a recall in the mail that stated if my Lexus IS250 was running rough and the check engine light was on they would fix at no cost. So I brought it in and after a series if inconclusive test they told me I needed to replace the spark plugs. So I agreed. A day later the engine light came back on so I went back and ran some more test and still couldn't perform the free recall service because the new scan showed I needed a catalytic converter and they couldn't address that with replacing a portion of the exhaust pipe as well. Anyhow, I took my car without any service to two different Autozones and an Amaco and all three scans showed a P2757 code which was for a solenoid in the transmission. I did some googling and this explains all my symptoms. My question is that the dealership was trying to hit me up with over $2000 in charges for something I didn't need. Just like the spark plugs. This is inexcusable and we should be able to prosecute these guys and their blatant lies. The Service Consultants are nothing more than salesman trying to pick your pocket any way they can. I'm taking my car to a transmission shop to get this issue fixed. All in all, how can you trust these guys with such a blatant lie? Run, run, run from this place. More

SUPERB Service Moved from Los Angeles, California and shipped my LX 570 to MD last fall. After a few months I noticed the chrome moldings were starting to peel. My f Moved from Los Angeles, California and shipped my LX 570 to MD last fall. After a few months I noticed the chrome moldings were starting to peel. My first instinct was to bring the vehicle to the Owings Mills Lexus close to were I live. All I got was being told that this was a common issue! Having more faith than that on the quality of Lexus cars, I went to Lexus of Towson (a sister company of Owings Mills Lexus). I was met by Thorney Gibson, Service Rep., who immediately elevated the issue to the Service Director, Jim Dick. Jim immediately replied that they would fix the quality issue at no charge. Two days later, due to my busy schedule, I had returned to have the repair done. Thorney was waiting at the agreed time and the defective part was replaced. I was impressed to say the least. I always thought that the excellent service of Lexus in LA was because the people there were used to dealing with celebrities. (I certainly am not one) But to my surprise I was treated like one at Lexus of Towson. These guys stand by their product, as should be, and understand one of the most important reason why people buy a Lexus, being for it's quality above most others. They made me feel at home and like a celebrity! Jim and Thorney are model front line people Lexus Service/Dealers should be proud of and emulate. Few people in other auto service departments realize that the word "Service" means more than just repair and maintenance of a vehicle. It more importantly means the care and satisfaction of the customer! I am now a loyal customer and will definitely purchase my next Lexus at this location. I don't mind driving the extra miles to Lexus of Towson from Owings Mills. More

Buyer Beware. Do not trust Lexus of Towson Service Department. Please go to another Lexus dealer or another mechanic shop for a second opinion. They will state high cost repair items that you may no Department. Please go to another Lexus dealer or another mechanic shop for a second opinion. They will state high cost repair items that you may not need. I have seen some reviews where it looks like there was some intentional damages to make a recommended repair. I have experience this as well since I went to my local trusted Mechanic. I believe the service reps\service techs all work under commision. The service director Jim Dick will not help with any complaints to his service department. His customer skills are poor at best. More

I used to trust Lexus of Towson. They built up a lot of goodwill over the years. Then I got the technician's comments that my "aftermarket drain plug is at risk for leaking," the drain plug they installed goodwill over the years. Then I got the technician's comments that my "aftermarket drain plug is at risk for leaking," the drain plug they installed 6 months ago. Either they're using substandard parts, or they're fishing for business. Completely inexcusable. They've also started handing out inspection reports with each car. My service adviser told me about my wipers needing replaced, and my transmission fluid being dirty (both things I may have had them pay for if he'd offered the services). The inspection report describes a vehicle unsafe to drive, with issues Lexus has never before mentioned. I want to know what's wrong with my car, but I want to have an opportunity to ask questions about it, not be given a report saying I have a transmission leak as I leave the shop. I really love the ? next to CV boots. Are they not sure if I have CV boots? Or just not sure if I need them replaced? Am I supposed to know what that means? More

I am in the service industry and I realize the importance of providing good customer service. As a new owner of a Lexus, I was unsure about going to a new service dealer and as well, a dealer that was forty of providing good customer service. As a new owner of a Lexus, I was unsure about going to a new service dealer and as well, a dealer that was forty-five minutes from my home. I was greeted by friendly attendants who directed me to a service manager. James Strand was extremely helpful and courteous answering my questions and then providing me with a loaner vehicle so I could continue to visit my clients in the area. James called on my cell phone to tell me the car was ready- one and a half hours early than was promised. The guest services staff was also friendly, helpful, and prompt with the assessed charges and payment. James then guided me to my washed vehicle and even helped carry some items from the loaner car to my car. Great service with a smile! I look forward to doing future business with Lexus of Towson again. More
