funny/odd notes in service history (1 Viewer)

[beer]

I've been searching for a '13-'15 LX so have looked through dozens of service histories on drivers.lexus.com. Noticed something today I've never seen before, an entry for a speeding citation. I imagine that means the tech was test-driving before/after service and got a ticket? Anyone seen that before? What is the oddest or funniest thing you've seen in a service history?

That is funny. Whats even funnier, that address is for the High School that I graduated from in 1977 (Loch Raven High), and I grew up about a mile from there. I can report that road is heavily patrolled, as its an awesome windy road to drive rather "spirited", shall we say. I drove that road many times, but somehow never got dinged.

I too know this place! I worked as a college intern just a mile up from LockRaven High school. I used to commute back roads from Bel Air and can attest that road is fun! Maryland is crazy with speed cameras all around.

In my search for a LX570, came across this service description. I'm new to Lexus, so I'm curious. Can anyone confirm that the hot sauce treatment is in the Service Manual?

There was also this description for the same vehicle. I enjoyed the sassy customer service rep.

That's a CYA notation from the service advisor. After the floor mat issues he/she is protecting themselves and the dealer.

Ha! Here's a note in my recently purchased 2018 LX of the previous owner:

I doubt hot sauce on the wires would last very long, but Honda does sell a special "rodent tape" that is supposed to have capsaicin in it, the hot part of peppers. Not cheap but it's supposed to work really well.

I thought they put the hot sauce on the squirrel.

Yeah me too... that’s how I like mine, anyway.

That’s what I thought too. Followed by “man that tech must really dig squirrel and hot sauce.”
