Can't answer your question, but typically they schedule guide work in advance since it ties up a lift for most, if not all, of the day... Don't think I'd make that drive on faith :D

This is just from my experinmce I am not an employee:

T3 should be open on Monday, i dont think their holiday schedule starts until later in the week (at least it was like this last year).Last I heard they had a couple guide sets in-stock.

Mondays are usually light enough to aquuze in a major job BUTYou are still taking the risk of not being helped if Byron is tied up or on vacation.

If you leave this evening, I give you a 75% chance of having it done and a 25% chance of making the trip for no reason, or having to stay an extra day.

Only closed Christmas Day but 3 techs for the next 3 weeks.

Monday will be light [but I didn't check Friday] but never count on just 1 day for guides unless you know the pan doesn't have to come off!!!!!!!!!

First come first served but you would need to be there by 7:30 AM

Could someone post the address and telephone # of T3. I live in Tampa, however, the drive may be worth it. I cannot find anyone in the Tampa Bay area that I want to take my J30t.:help

Ummm...What is T3? For some reason I was thinking Arnold Schwarzenegger, but I guess I might be wrong.

T3 is a highly regarded independent Infiniti/Lexus shop.Many here feel it might be the best in the country, but as a minimum it certainly is at least the best east of the Missisipi.

Has a history of diagnosing problems correctly in 1 hour that have eluded some dealers for multiple visits.

Also very reasonable since the techs are good and take less time for a lot of repairs.

I myself have done several 900 miles roundtrips in now 3 different Infiniti's to get work done there.

I think $68/hr.
