Default Are the stock shocks serviceable?

Hi,

I have a 2008 IS350 and after 28k miles it feels like the suspension is completely shot! I'm more of a motorcycle guy and do all of the mechanical work on my bikes but when it comes to cars I'm completely clueless!

So for my IS350, are the stock shocks even serviceable or will I need to buy new ones? In general what's involved to service a car shock, I suppose new seals and new oil ya? How much does it generally run, as in having a shop do it? And how much does it run with a Lexus dealer?

Thanks,
Sammy

You just purchase new shocks.

They are not serviceable, they must be replaced.
