Came in for diagnostics since my car seemed to have a battery issue - was running sluggish. ~179k miles, and knew it would need attention. Bill, my consultant shared the bad news, it would need a transmission - at a startling cost! More than the IS-350 2007 cars blue book value. It doesn t make sense to install it. Did the bear minimum of battery replacement.
In hindsight, might of made sense to get an outside estimate on a transmission- IF I wanted to go through that cycle. 13yrs, think it time for me to move on.

Waiting for a loaner car took the most time, given I had a 9am appt, it s just their peak period. My service person Bill was good- experienced.

I recommend to
ask a lot of questions you ll get a full picture of alternatives for decision making.
Good luck!!
