With only 13k on the clock I wouldn't even bother. Your next oil change isn't until 20k and really, what else needs to be done? You can rotate tires at 20k and have any issues addressed. This is a dealer ploy to make $$$. I'm also at 18 months and even less miles than your car. I have no intention of bringing the car in with no complaints or maintenance to be done. Here is what they do at 15k.

Other than changing the oil, the only meaningful work done on the vehicle is done only at the 36,000, 72,000, and 108,000 mile service intervals. Those are the only times when my ES will be going to a dealer, and, even then, it will be going to a Toyota dealer, who will do the maintenance for about half of what the Lexus dealer charges. Other than that, maintaining receipts, especially for oil changes, should avoid either warranty or re-sale value issues.

My car is alerting me that maintenance is due soon. She only has about 4500 miles on her and I wasn't sure what she needed. They did say the first two maintenance visits were free but now I'm wondering what that includes

Also, at 5000 miles you can have the dealer change any custom settings that you want changed, but that can also be done at 10,000 miles.
A complete list of all of the items that are to be inspected at the 5000 mile maintenance (and all other maintenance intervals) is in the vehicle's supplementary maintenance manual.

Sorry but the 5K service doesn't include cleaning up the interior. That's still on you, unless you get a mile of Saran wrap for the kids.
