Three Oil changes $150
So I was with a buddy at the local Toyota dealer and was curious what their prices were. They offered three synthetic oil changes using OW20, which is what our GS takes plus tire rotation for $150.
the Lexus dealer charged about $90... what do you guys think or feel with Toyota servicing? They literally use the same oil, Lexus charges more for their name, their lounge, etc. |

That's totally fair. My Lexus dealer is right next door to the Toyota dealer. Toyota oil filter is $14 at Lexus and same filter is $6 at Toyota dealer. Battery died on my 14 RX last weekend, Lexus battery $175, Toyota battery was $105.

You may want to make sure that they are aware of the oil capacity the GS takes. There may be a quart limit.
I own a Toyota vehicle and my local Toyota dealership's service department is nowhere near as good in any category as my local Lexus dealership's service department. It's night and day! Just be aware... |

The Toyota dealerships may not be as fancy or as "luxury," but they have all the same access to parts/diagrams/tools etc for Lexus. My personal mechanic used to work on quite a few ES models which he exclusively bought parts for his clients from our local Toyota dealership.
