Lokey Service Reccomendations?

I own a midly modded 2004.5 Coupe and I need to get the car serviced for a couple reasons. I'm considering making the drive over to Clearwater to visit Lokey because all and all they've got a great reputation here on the boards. Furthermore they seem to be the only dealer here in the Tampa Bay area thats tollerant of modifications. Has anyone had personal experience over there and would reccomend someone in service? Thanks!

John Oliva heads up the service department over there. Heck, they even have a performance division at Lokey. See John's profile. He is known as LokeyInfiniti.

Lokey installed my headers and I really can't say enough good stuff about them. I'd give them my full recommendation for just about any type of job you can think of.

Come on give them your recommendation for any job. No one can provide the level of service and knowledge they can.

Thanks for the names guys, I'll definitely be getting in touch with eithier John or Cory sometime next week. It seems to me like its worth every one of those extra miles. My previous dealer has always given me flack about my mods, so one that accepts it will be a welcomed change.

I recommend them as well. I've had several things done at Lokey from oil change to Random Technology high flow cats install to new tires being put on. They've always done a first class job and followed up with a "how did we do?" phone call.

Even my brother had all his performance accessories for his Nissan maxima put on by Lokey's master tech so their skill in the aftermarket is not just relegated to G35's. They can do most Nissans too.

I've had 2 oil changes, replaced a fuel pressure regulator?, and I had my new wheels/tires mounted. Everytime I have scheduled service, it has been the most convenient time that I asked for. When I had my wheels/tires installed, they spent almost 2 hours after closing time to help me out. I have nothing but great things to say about Lokey Infiniti and John Oliva and Brian Casey.

I had "any job" in there at first but I changed it after I realized that I wouldn't allow them to do one thing, wash my G. That's one job I'll do on my own.

Lokey really is an amazing dealership. They stayed until after closing to install my headers, they searched for a broken O2 sensor just to plug the wide band hole in my h/f cats, they've given us club member discounts on services including mod installs, they've donated items for our raffle, they've given free items away UNSOLICITED at our quartely All Florida Meets, and so much more!

This is why I try to go out of my way to head over there for service whenever it is possible. I just make sure to bring my detailing products with me.

I had to laugh at that one. Most of us including myself are the same way. Not because they do a bad job washing cars but we prefer to do it ourselves.

Lokey is an awesome dealer, period! From sales to service. I hate to think about when I actually move away from this area, and have to find another dealer to handle my vehicle's service needs.

I moved from the Jacksonville area to the Tampa area at the start of June just so Lokey could be my dealer! Well, not quite- but I'm glad that they will be doing the service on my G from here on! Crawford plenum install in August coming up!
