Is this an average price? This was quoted to me from the Garden Grove dealership.

What did you guys pay, and what are the best and yet reasonably priced dealerships in LA?

v,

try 1800-92-longo ask for service, mike sander, or veronne, and tell them william send you. actually ~$600 is about the lowest dealer price that i know.

thank you!

the question would be, what do you drive?? If timing belt needs to be changed, $690 is an absolute giveaway. If you have a GS300, I'm assuming the maintainence schedule is very similar to my SC300........and your timing belt is changed at 60k......this, in conjunction with all the other stuff, was somewhere north of $1000 as I recall. Although the timing belt subject has been done to death, I changed mine (some have gone close to 90k) because, if it goes, you get to buy a whole new top end for your motor.

So, tell us more.........and we will reveal all.

my 92 LS400 has 75k miles and has NEVER been into ANY shop other than the first oil change, 7500 milkes, and the 1000 mile checkup.

I'm from Boston area and Lexus of Norwood want to charge me $985 to do the 60,000 miles service and that is not including the timing belt change. That's too much right?

My 60,000 mile service cost me 890.00 and they said on the gs400 the timing belt gets change on your 90,000 mile service.

I just got my transmition, rear differential and oil changed for $130. Whats left besides spark plugs and wires?

GS4Will

007, that is a lot of $$$, wayyy too much, there is no dealer competitions in your area?

eng,

check you owners manul, or just call the dealer for a list of descriptions on 60k service. i think coolant change may be in order.

Thanks for the reply GS4will, but most of other dealers charge about a $100 cheaper but do not but checking beside change some fluids. And they aslo quote for $475 to change the timing belt. My car is 55,000 mile should I change it or wait till 90,000; what's your advice? Thanks

Dan,

the timing belt issue continues...many new cars now recommends 90k miles. i would def check with your manual + dealer service. just make sure you follow the lex guide lines to avoid potential problems.

wow, the maintenance cost is really expensive in your area. do you know of any good, relaible tech guy? some of cl guys i know basically ordered all the essential parts from steve at carson toyota and pay their tech guy couple hours of labor for the 60k mile service.
