Default IS250 PreOwned Certified 45k service @ Lexus or Toyota?

Hello guys,

I have Pre Owned Certified 2007 Lexus IS250 with around 44.5k miles on odometer. Its is still under the certified warranty and I am coming up for the 45k service.

I called the Lexus and Toyota dealers and it costs ~$300@Lexus and ~$120@Toyota.

I am leaning towards Toyota right now. Is there any negative side of getting my car serviced at Toyota? Will it cause any issues with the certified warranty?

Thanks.

no such thing as 45k service, just change oil for 40 usd.

I use Mobile Oil and that adds a bit more to the cost. I end up closer to $100. I thought I would be saving by buying my own oil but 2 jugs of the good stuff is $50 on it's own and bringing in my own oil filter and gasket adds another $10 I break even. I'm glad my dealership carrys Mobil 1 because many don't.

Just call the Lexus dealer ask for an oil change + tire rotation (if AWD). Should be <$100.

Rotate is only for AWD (i.e. non staggered).

How about $299 for 6 Oil Changes and tire rotations? Does that sound like a good deal?

Thanks.
45k service is just an oil change. If you read your service manual, you'll see the inspections they preform at that time. If you're capable enough to do the inspections yourself, I would recommend just going in for the oil change.

Sounds like buy 4 get one free. It's up to you. It's not like you're not going to get an oil change lol.

SIX times? so they are talking about $50 per oil change? I assume it is regular and not synthetic oil change. That is still a GOOD deal from the DEALERSHIP. This is on par or even better than some local shops. Take it if there is no expiration date.
