Default what does the '100,000 mile service' include? (NOT the 90k, been done)

So my 90k service was done on my car back at 80k miles and now I'm at 105,000 and am going in for the 100,000 mile service.

I was told that this was $155 (vs. $55 for just an oil/filter change) and that it topped off all my fluids, inspected my steering system and brakes and some other stuff, but our local dealer books appointments through a service and I wasn't speaking to an actual service advisor, so I'd like to see the 'chart' myself.

I have the 65mph shake pretty bad in my steering and it still wiggles noticeably ~75mph, so if the steering inspection really looks at this and pinpoints the cause, it would be worth it so I don't waste money in parts I don't need. I also have a leak in my steering that I thought was the rack, but it's gone away... I assume this inspection would identify the source of this leak as well?

Basically if they do a true diagnosis of the issues, it would be worth $100 to me.

nobody?

I guess I'll just try for a direct number to the dealer or review it when I drop the car off... just figured there had to be a link somewhere to what it covered.

I searched 100,000 with no results and limited results for 100k... the chart I found didn't seem to outline what I was told the service included.

I'll post it up in a sec.

This is all I've found:

http://www.lexusofbridgewater.com/MiscPage_3

It looks specific to a certain dealer and doesn't even have a '100,000' service... just a '105,000' and it covers alot more stuff and is $500...

My service appointment email specifically references 100,000.

search other specific keywords like maintenance schedule or something similar.....and as i said before....your owners manual has it printed in it...

as raytseng said in a old post,

Thank you for the help... My car did not come with an owner's manual and there are many charts posted online, so I wasn't sure what the official answer was. It's nice when people on forums share their knowledge after an earnest search effort has been made vs. leaving the person in the dark.

lol, i wouldn't leave you in the dark. just try searching a few different keywords....remember people word the same things differently ALOT. if you dont have a manual, i think the dealership will provide one for free (search there is a post bout this too) if not you can find them for cheap on here or ebay

I would personally avoid the stealership and as far as the free owners manuals go on Lexus.com I've ordered one twice now in the past 4 months and have received nothing.

Minor service:
Oil and filter change
Tire rotation
Chassis inspection
*** torque axle shaft bolts, and propeller shaft(drive shaft) bolts.
****Coolant drain and fill.

Dont flush anything!!!
- Do the coolant, its not in your owners manuel! Just do it, they will put in the new standard fluid. That means you dont have to change it til 200k.
