Went to my local lexus dealer today, I had my car lowered so my headlights pointed down to far making it difficult to drive at night. I also had my tpms reprogramed because the place that put my wheels on obviously don t know how to do it properly and the damn light kept comming on so im pretty sure the dealer has it right thank god!! Anyway the bottom line is they charged me close to $200 to do this for me, sounds a little steep but oh well atleast its fixed. theey also wanted to charge me $13 to change the $4 battery in each of my key fobs.I went to radio shack and didit myself for under $10

 

Are you out of warranty or what?

That's a lot of money for adjusting headlights and reprogram TPMS...

 

In the first place you should be raising hell with the wheel, and suspension guys who worked on your car...
The guys who dropped my car guaranteed that i wont have any headlight issues after the drop-if there were issues that they would address it appropriately...This goes the same way for your wheels.

 

200 bucks to adjust headlights and program tpms? some stuff, you just should do it yourself -- like changing batteries

 

I posted on cl and most recommended going to the dealer to have the lights adjusted as far as the tpms I took it back to the wheel co twice they reset it said that it was fine and sent me on my way i drove home went in the house and when i left again later the light came back on. The car is under warranty however lowering the vehicle is what made the lights point down. I didnt buy my car from them so the dealer rarely does me any favors the downside to getting a great deal on your car from a none lexus dealer!!!

 

there are a lot of lexus dealer rape victims here so don't feel bad. At least you don't go there for $100 oil changes. At least I hope not.

 

I am gonna feel this way for my 30k service that's coming up.. sigh

 

30k? just oil change, bleed brakes, differential (??), nothing else really necessary right?

 

nope i buy mobile one and go too jiffy lube, and most of those scheduled maintenance deals are bs they charge you for a bunch of lame checks and test they re a rip off figure out whats really needed and pay someone elseyou trust, less to do it

 

200 dollars wouldn't bother me as much as the light on the dash or the TPMS going off. I would say it wasn't pricey even thought they did gouge you. I don't think it took 2 hours to adjust the lights and fix the TPMS. None of us work for free either though I guess. I sometime charge patients 52 dollars for less than 5 minutes of work

 

lkapimp, which dealership did you go?

 

FYI to those that don't know. You can do all of the scheduled maintenance anywhere, even do it yourself, and it should not affect your warranty provided you can supply receipts for parts and consumables that would have been needed.

 

sometimes I wish I purchased a new bmw instead of my gs just for the free services til 50k. I got charged for the dust less brake pads for my gs that everyone else seemed to get for free while bmw will replace the rotors and pads without question for free... sigh...

 

Don't worry, I'm sure the depreciation would more than make up for it in the end.

 

AFS headlights..don't need adjustment right? they are self adjusting.....am I correct?
