ha ha, my lexus dealership just gave me a quote for the 15k service @ $400.00 .... are you kidding me thats ridiculous and the lady gave me attitude when i asked if its required(its not) so im just going to change the oil myself. Only the 5k and 10k were required at the dealership... booyaah

5k is free at the dealership... NO dealership service is -required- though unless you signed something extra (ie some of the tires for life plans require dealership service for example- one of the ways they make a profit on such offerings)

Are you guys using some secret language to get a Toyota dealer to do routine maintenance? I've called 3-4 Toyota dealers near me to get a quote for the routine service, and all of them told me that they don't do work on Lexuses (is that a word? or should it be Lexi?) since they don't have the right parts in stock.

so you guys think that just change the oil at 15k? how about all the inspections? arent they important?

I had Toyota do my trany flush with T-IV on my Gen 1 IS, but I will only go to Lexus for Coolant, Warrenty, and other probelms. Most dealers never perform the inspection, they are known to never remove the dust covers, and they make the car sit in the wash line with the porters to make you think you are getting real work done. I caught MgGrath Lexus of Westmont, IL doing this, and they were embarrased. I also knew someone who worked there and they said that they are all trained to lie to the customer. NEVER get the brake flush. They basically suck the fluid out of the master cylinder and replace for $120. You can do that yourself for $5 in 5 minutes time tops. They NEVER blead each caliper seperately. It is best to go to a place where you can watch them perform your service if possible. One Toyota delaership wanted to charge my sister $250 for a 45 or 50k service and all it consisted of was an oil change, (so called inspection), and ac filter change. I bought her AC filter for $35 and put it in myself in 3 minutes. This is where the dealers make their money.
