  • These Lexus HIDDEN GEMS are Definitely Future Classics!

    These 2 Lexus models from the same model line in my opinion will definitely be future classics!

    In today's video we're checking out the Lexus SC both the first generation SC300 and SC400. then the awesome SC430 which got totally left out from a single Top Gear review from Richard Hammond who was harsh on it and gave it a reputation for being useless. The SC430 is far from useless and is an absolute Icon of build quality in the Lexus lineup.

  • Lexus Dealership Couldn't Fix This Car. The Parts Cannon Aftermath

    This beautiful 1994 Lexus ES300 has been to multiple shops including a Lexus dealership which simply told the customer they cannot fix it because it's too old and they don't have the parts nor the experience to fix it. So it was brought over to our shop. We did our best efforts to fix it, We made great progress but we are not 100% satisfied so we'll keep at it until it's fixed and fixed right.
