Seattle: dealership + low car problems
 
So I used to have the issue with my Lexus that when I took it in for servicing they'd refuse a lot of the time because of how low it was saying they couldn't get it on the racks.

My coils are as low as they go and I really don't feel like raising it up unless I have to. I'm due for my first oil change. I'm fine doing it myself but just thinking ahead for future maintenance.

I was wondering if you Seattle locals know of a dealership that doesn't bitch about servicing lowered cars or if you all just go through the hassle of raising/swapping to stock each time you take it in.

Thanks in advance.

False, toyota of kirkland give you dirty looks in the service bays. Just do it yourself.

Thats fine for the oil changes and shit but if I go in for that fuel pump (if it ever gets fixed) or anything else I'd hope to not have to raise it up every time.

Running Non-Ethanol Premium fuel will remove the crickets.

Get a fluid evacuator problem solved. There are DIY threads on it, you don't have to raise your car, fiddle with drain plugs, it's completely clean and you do it though your dipstick tube.

I'm talking about dealership servicing. Not just oil changes. Anything.

He wants the record of having it service at the dealership because it makes any future warranty claims much easier. Also if you have a solid service record with the dealership its good for your resale.

Bumping this because Magic Toyota handled my lowness without complaints.
I told them next time I'd bring in my 2X4 ramps to make it easier on them but they got me serviced.
