Mine was done month or two ago and so far so good. 2007 with 27k miles. Wasnt bad before I brought it in either, had only just started hearing the "creak/squeak" and a few rattles over bumbs on occasion when I made the appt.
I need to hunt down a noise in my seat though. Dealer states they dont hear it..
May be a slightly loose or rubbing spring or wire thing the seats or framed with in the lower back area. A tick/click sound when weight shifts in turns. Cant reproduce by moving my body around in the seat only when car is going through curves or turns. Havent taken the seat apart to look yet though.

I have about 70K miles on my '08 and had a creaking dash. Since I have an extended warranty and had all my work done at Lexus, Lexus agreed to pay for taking out the dash and looking for the problem. It took 2 trips to the dealer but they found something in the cowl area which eventually mostly took care of the problem. 3 months later and I am starting to hear the same creaking starting to come back. Not as bad...but starting to come back. I give up...my GS is reliable (no engine or drivetrain problems) but the creaks and rattles drive me nuts.
