Just picked it up from my independent, all done and $300. So I saved $190+ tax or $270+ tax depending on which dealer.

I confirmed with him, the OEM oil is Toyota branded 0W20 full synthetic. Its not Mobil but Mobil is obviously fine to use.

My car is at the dealer right now. I'll be getting 30K service + they will check my suspension + 27 point inspection, all for $545

What does this 30k service include?

2014GS350F

I had the oil changed at JiffyLube for $100, replaced the air filter myself for $35, JiffyLube said a brake fluid replacement is like $60 but they only do those at certain garages and not at the one I was at, plan to replace the cabin filter myself for I'm guessing $25. Had the car inspected by my Lexus dealer a week ago when I purchased it. $250ish instead of the $600 my dealer quoted.

What's this about a brake recall? Anyone have a copy of the recall notice they can share?

Its the standard 30k thats in the maintenance schedule.

I would never use JiffyLube. The issue isn't the quick lube place, theres a quick lube place I've used here many times and they do a fine job, its JiffyLube in particular. Lots of stories, lawsuits out there about JiffyLube, they don't have any training really for their techs, they use the wrong weight oils, they overfill, underfill, don't replace filters. On top of that, they're not cheaper. I mean, $100 for a synthetic oil change at JiffyLube is really expensive...the Lexus dealer would have done it for $100.

You mean you bought your GS 350 just a week ago from a Lexus dealership and they had not [already] done the upcoming 30K mile service (which is now needed just a week after you bought the car) as part of the CPO certification? Lexus dealerships are supposed to already do the next upcoming service if it is inside 3,000 miles of the mileage in which it is needed as part of the CPO certification process, which is fully paid for by the manufacturer and the Lexus dealership's cost is reimbursed. And the next service that is required 5K miles beyond the service that the CPO certification has already done is at no-charge.

Typical Lexus CPO:
Lexus Certified Pre-Owned means you not only get the reassurance of a 3yr/100,000 mile limited warranty, but also a 161-point inspection/reconditioning, fully serviced including the upcoming **k service already done, 24/7 roadside assistance, trip-interruption services, loaner car, complimentary oil/filter change, and a complete CARFAX vehicle history report.

With a Certified CPO Lexus you should be able to see your car's history with Lexus Drivers. Of course, if you don't use a Lexus dealership to service the vehicle that service history will be missing...and you could be challenged about having the vehicle properly serviced if any warranty issues come about.

PS - I personally would never have Jiffy Lube do any type of service on my car's drivetrain/powertrain or related components.

I'm taking mines in for a 30k service.

Is servicing the rear differential fluid and transmission fluid necessary at 30k?

bclexus

They will inspect both the transmission fluid and the differential oil and replace 'if applicable'. It would be a rare case for either to need to be replaced at only 30k miles...
