Hi Guys,

Picking up my second Lexus today . 2009 ls460 AWD with 65k miles. I want to do the 60k mile service. Is there any good non-lexus service shop anybody might recommend? Toyota and/or after market? or should i do my first service at a Lexus dealer? I used Englewood before. They are good guys, but as usual they are always on the upsell .

thanks
Fas

I don't remember there being much to do on the 60K mile service other than inspecting and replacing air filters if I am not mistaken. You can order the filters and do it yourself if you are so inclined. And Welcome. Be sure to post up some pics of it.

Goodness, it looks like so much. And I just get the feeling if you go over everything with a fine tooth comb you will find issues no matter what. Many of them might not even require a fix but are just to be overly precautions. Costing me a lot and giving me a bad feeling about my new baby . I guess it's always that feeling of a new used car owner.

Thanks again and any advice is appreciated
