Exclamation 30000 service on my 00 GS400

I want to do my own 30000 mile service on my 2000 Gs400. What do I need? Is it Easy enough for a novice wrench head to do? or should I have a shop do it? What do service shops charge for this? dealership? Exact Motorsport? Can anyone help me out .

Replace engine oil/filter, rotate tires, replace air filter, inspect brakes, steering linkages, drive shift boots, boday and chassis nuts and bolts, exhaust pipes and mountings, brake lines and hoses, rack and pinion assembly, replace A/T fluid, replace rear differential oil, replace brake fluid, replace engine coolant, inspect fuel lines, connectors and fuel tank, vapor vent system hoses and fuel tank gap gasket, replace cabin filter. The Lexus service here charges over $600 for this 30K service.

i'd change all the fluids, filters, and give the car a once-over. It's a Lexus - you don't need to do much compared to a Ford or Mercedes...
