regular scheduled maintenance
I'm wanting to know what everyone is paying for their regular maint @ a lexus dealer??
The Quotes im getting are $150.00 and then $700 @ 60k and $1300 @90K
Does this seem high or about right for a lexus dealer?
Car is 2006 GS430 with 49K and Platinum Extended Warranty

For just an oil change, I was paying $109 + tax. I would suggest doing what I did with my 2006 GS 430 (out of warranty), go to Toyota to have your car serviced. They have the correct filter and oil for your car (I use Mobil 1 syn which they cared). It cost me $66.88 + tax which included a 27 point inspection and a car wash. Check around though the prices from dealship to dealership can vary. Some members claim they pay less at their Toyota. Some Toyota service departments will not work on Lexus cars. I suspect they have local agreements with Lexus not to service so you may have to find a dealership further from you that will.

I specifically asked them, when I emailed them, if they had mobil 1 and if not could I bring my own. They emailed me back stating they had mobil 1. The bill listed that they used syn oil. They can do tire rotation, etc., but I don't know what they charge for that. I will definitely go there for routine service from now on. Any recall or TBS work I will, of course, let a Lexus dealership handle that.

the 90/100k service is bogus. when i called and asked what it entailed, it think it was the usual service plus the air filter and a few more small details. no way i would pay that kind of money. i just eclipsed 100k on my 06, and till my warrenty ran out, i serviced at the local toyota dealer as well. oil change is $39 by itself. though if you do not have a staggered setup, the rotation brings it up to the $66 price tag. i cannot see paying over $100 for an oil change just because it's from lexus. toyota will give you the exact same service minus the car wash and courtesy vehicle + pick up/drop off. those are very nice services, but unecessary imo. but then again, the toyota dealer is 10min from my house and the lexus is an hour away. lol.

i paid 99$ with a 25$ off coupon at my dealership 2 days ago, always check online for coupons btw. i also have extended warranty on my 06 gs. my theory is, pay the extra 30$ get a nice lexus loaner,food (they have ham and cheese sandwiches, cookies, and other chips), coffee, and soda from the lounge they have. and later on i dont have to worry about dealers trying to scam you with "you did it somewhere else, thats why there is a problem" bull.
