Car Problems??

Late last week we got in B's Lexus to go to the store and the car acted "funny". The engine sounded strange and the car moved rather jerky. An icon appeared on the dashboard. He pulled over immediately and we got out the huge booklet that tells you everything you ever wanted to know (and then come) about the car. The icon indicated trouble with the engine. He turned the car off, then on, and it appeared to be OK. We turned around and returned home rather than take any chances.  

This morning he called the dealer who said the car was under warranty and to call an 800 number for assistance. He did and within an hour, a flatbed truck came to the house, loaded up the car and took it to the dealer. Now that was service! The pictures tell the story


 Within 90 minutes a local company arrived with a flatbed truck





The garage guy drove the car onto the flatbed


The bed was then raised


And the car "tied" down several ways


As it pulled out of the driveway you can see it "tied" down using the wheels. 



Based on a phone call we got from the dealer shortly after the car arrived, nothing major was found. They will service the car as it's due for a normal maintenance and get back to us probably late this afternoon. We are thinking positive!
