30K mile maintenance charges
I just feel like venting real quick. My Lexus dealership wants $450 for the 30k mile maintenance and the Toyota dealership wants $380. When I asked for a breakdown, Toyota is charging $40 for the multipoint inspection and $50 to measure my brake pads! Why are they charging for services that are normally free?
When I asked them to only quote me to replace the air filter, air conditioning filter, brake fluid, oil and oil filter, and tire rotation, Toyota comes out to $290 and Lexus comes out to $362. If you look at the remaining items on the list, I can't believe they are charging $90 for the rest.
I unfortunately don't know of any reputable independent shops. I bought the expensive car and I'll probably buy another expensive car from you later so why play these games?

Just get oil change and replace the engine and cabin filters urself, save u tons of $$$. That's what I'm gonna do to mine. Oil change only at my Lexus dealer costs like $70 with coupon.
My last Camry had 50K miles and just oil changes every 5K (non synthetic) and still ran like new when I traded it in for the GS. Why spend $$$ if u don't need to? This is why we get a Toyota, good cars for cheap!

So when you do not get the recall notice(s) because you bought it pre owned (and TSB's do not get
mailed at all) and something goes wrong you still saved the $80 right? Dealers routinely check
the system for seemingly unrelated repairs, 1) it's the right thing to do? 2) they get paid by Lexus?

I called 4 dealers here. All were around $550 but one, that one was $650! My independent did all the work for about $250.

Some folks are hard up about bringing their rides to the dealership because of fear in lapse of warranty, quality issues, non-OEM parts used, yadda, yadda.
Don't be a chump, take it to your Indy for much less or just do it yourself.

And at the end of the day, if you want to use the dealer then godspeed...you just can't complain about the cost when you're deciding to use the most expensive option available.
