Should I cancel service plan?
Hi I am new to Lexus club and the whole Lexus community and have question if I should have bought their service plan to have the service everything til 75,000 miles for I think I paid 2500 dollars or is it better for me to pay myself.. also I just purchased the 2017 nightfall mica with the flaxen luxury package with the navigation and heated steering wheel..

Wait, what's the difference between the maintenance plan and the service plan?

"service plans" or "maintenance plans" are simply ways for the dealer to make an exorbitant profit on the deal. Not necessary IMO and a waste of money.

I would cancel it.
IIRC, the maintenance plan is to pay for all future scheduled maintenance up to 100k miles, not including brake jobs or tire replacements..
I don't think it's a good investment as the new ES OCI is every 10k miles, cabin and air filters are cheap, brake fluid flush and spark plug change as a DIY or an indy shop. Tire rotation is not that expensive. Just go to any tire shops. Visual inspections you can do yourself or have your indy shop do the inspections. Now if this includes brake jobs and tire replacement then yes go for it.

The maintenance plan is of course up to you as well as where you have it serviced. However I would check rates rather than rely on other experience, but I would definitely check. I have seen a ton of posts on Toyota vs Lexus for maintenance. For oil change,. rotation and inspection my local Toyota and Lexus dealers are 5 dollars apart. (both under 100 bucks). So my thought is the rates vary per region per dealer.
