Looking for recommendations in / around Sydney for a towbar for a 2016 GS 350

Welcome - looks good

Looking for recommendations for independent service centres in Western / North Western Sydney. Did a bit of a service and found that 2 recommended options:

Anyone had any recent experience with either of them or recommend someone else?

Thanks 2bling but I need to find a stockist that has actually fitted one to a IS350. Hayman Reece make them for a IS250 (both pre and post 2013) but do not specify that they fit a IS350 (even though we know they are the same body). Because it is not specified for a IS350 the 1/2 dozen fitters I rang said that they would not risk fitting it as it is not actually specified for a IS350 only an IS250.  

Has anyone had a non std Lexus towbar fitted to a 2014 IS350F? If so where?

Hayman Reece make one for a 07/2017 onwards IS250 but I cannot find a Sydney stockist who has fitted one to an IS350 (and no one wants to take the chance).

this may help a bit

The dealer i went to recommended that you program them in as points of interest (or something like that) - I think u can program in about 100. Not worth it !!

Anyway i have been to a few dealerships and the best i have been able to find is a 'new' 2011 build is350 which has been offered to me at 60k which i think is a bit much, i have also been offered a used is350 with 22k on the clock for 52k.

These sound like good deals to me. Do u have a trade? Can u PM me the dealer/s that you spoke to??

Hi Michael,

Any update on the replacement harness so that we can install it on the 2010 IS models and later?

I know this is not for a Manual (MT??) but first time I had seen for a right hand drive

Mate of mine uses Lexus's in his Hire Car Business. He has used Lexus of Chatswood for paint repairs and cannot recommend them highly enough - he absolutely loves his cars and would not go to anyone who was not good.

Love the grill. Looks like they do some good work - I like the interior on one of the BM's in their gallery.

I tried to do some of this type of work on one of my bikes - turned out ok but certainly no where as good as the bike in the gallery.

Try this:

Yeah, Atlantis, where are the pics? :P

There's currently a white IS F for sale with a matte black roof. And, earlier this week, I saw a black IS in North Sydney with matte black badges, bonnet, roof and bootlid - original gloss black sides. Not sure that I like that one, but to each their own.

Checked out the pictures on Carsales. Different but not to my taste but as you say each to their own:

same story with 18's off an IS250C?

Yep - have them on my 2010 Prestige - bolt straight on and plenty of room

A Big thanks to all those who post on this site.

Just bought a 2002 IS 200 and reading the posts and info given by the forum helped me make the decision even easier.

So again big thanks guys and well Done!

Zac,

You make a good point. I wish I had visited the site before I purchased my IS250 - in hindsight with the info I have found I would have probably gone for the IS 350. Overall happy with the 250 but the next one will be a 350 or an F.

Tried this on my 2010 IS250 this morning - worked a treat. Thanks for the tip :) :)

Only problem was 1st time I let go of the button before everything was fully closed - quickly learn't to hold the button down it it is all locked !!! :) :)

I have the prestigious dvd overide fitted, done by the dealer. Works fantastic, can use all functions for sat nav and phone while in motion and passengers can even watch a dvd if they want to while driving.

Hi Malibu, sorry to be a pain but approx how much did they charge??
