What parts of the 60k service do you really need?
So I bought this 2008 IS250 RWD at 60k and I thought the first owner did the service all along. Anyways fast forward 6000 miles later. I just called in for a quote and they're asking $1250 (Lexus of Stevens Creek) and there's no way I'm going to pay that much. So in reality, since I have an IS250, do I just need to replace the spark plugs (b/c of carbon build up issue) and flush the brake fluids. Any other fluids I should flush? Oil change has just been done 1000 miles ago. I know you're not supposed to tell them to do the whole service package b/c I can do some of them by myself or bring to another shop for a cheaper quote.
