Question Dallas area oil change other than dealer

My wife's RX300 is due for 20,000 mile service. Other than the dealer where can I go for an oil change? The dealer is asking for $130 for the service, kind of rediculous. I am in the Richardson/Dallas area. Thanks!

Call a Toyota dealer and ask about Toyota Highlander service
prices. My local Toyota dealer also offers "Express Lube" service.
They'll take the RX, no problem, and save you $$$.

Default Check out Davenport

JB - check out Davenport Motors on Plano Parkway in Plano - they've got 5-6 mechanics who worked for Sewell, left, and started this Lexus specialized operation. They specialize in Lexus only and are a great bunch of guys. The two Davenport brothers who own the place are a couple who worked for Sewell as well as the Managing Partner, Jimy Wright. They've done a number of things for me on my old SC400 and my GS400, always satisfied and much cheaper than either of the dealers. Call them at 972-612-3377 - you can tell Jimy or Ken that Garnet92 (Emile) sent you. Guarantee that you'll be pleased (and no, I don't get any kickback for the referral!).

BTW, they've hosted a couple of ClubLexus meets there and are very supportive of CL members.

I had an oil change at Sewell and it was $34 or something like that. What does the $130 include?

It's Park place's 20,000 mile service which includes oil change, tire rotation, brake check, and other misc checks. Also they test drive it. I have just had the $$$ 15,000 miles service in April. I called Davenport and they say oil change is only $29. I'll take it to them next week.
