Who's done the 30k service for their IS350?
What quotes have any of you got? Or how much did you pay?
Some are thinking about only doing the brake fluid replacement and oil change, since the other stuff seems nominal. Here's what one dealer said when inquired about the 30k:
The average cost for the 30k service on the IS 350 is $425.00—You will replace
Engine oil and filter
Engine air filter
Inspect and/or replace the A/C filter
Replace brake fluid
Rotate and balance tires
Complete diagnostic check and undercarriage inspections with road test
*your car has the new W/T transmission fluid which want get replaced till 100k
*your car has the new Life Long Coolant which we do not replace till 100k
*your car has the new synthetic rear end gear oil which we do not replace till 90k

the dealer sucks, you can do all that stuff yourself for much much cheaper. If you don't have means to do it, then go to a regular mechanic and get it done, I bet all that work is not much more than $100.
Diagnostic test? If there is something wrong that would show up on a diagnostic test I would think it would throw some sort of service needed light on the dash.

The filter changes I imagine they charged you 4x what you could have bought the parts for yourself and they take literally 5-10 minutes to change.
The oil change and brake fluid swap were the only things that actually should have been done, and for about half that price, tops.

Given you have an IS350 I seriously doubt they rotated your tires.

Tire balancing is only to use weighs to counter act the non uniform density and weight distribution of the rim + tires so that they are centered exactly in the middle to avoid wobbling.

Have nipped a few potholes here or there, but don't think the weights have come off.
Anyone purchased the AC filter? Just curious how much it runs, and if it's an easy swap, it's in the glove compartment right?

I would balance only the 2 front tires since the rears will never be in the front. If you drive at 70mph on the highway and feel a shimmy in your steering wheel your tires would most likely be out of balance. I would let them do the LOF/brake flush and you should replace all the filters yourself
