Thanks everyone. I am getting the car serviced at an independent shop on Monday. Jrfiero, I contacted lexus and requested a re-quote minus the top engine cleaning, key fob battery replacement, cabin air filter replacement, and tire rotation. The last three options being items I am willing to do myself. The new pric was $430, better but still seemed like a a good chunk of change for what boils down to an oil change and brake fluid change.

I really appreciate all the input from everyone. Thanks to everyone who took time to help me out.

Default is brake fluid change necessary?

Is a brake fluid change really necessary?
I had a brake job done at 60,000 and all the dealer's service department did was replaced all the pads.
They didn't have to replace the rotors and they didn't say they had to replace the fluid.

If you look into your owners maintenance manual I think you'll find 30,000 mile intervals for scheduled brake fluid flush & change. That's what the 2010 RX 450h requires, I wouldn't think the 350 is any different.

Yes. Brake fluid absorbs moisture, so it needs to be replaced periodically.
