Hey guys just wanted to ask if anyone here know how long it takes for dealers to complete 5000 mile maintenance? I called Jim Falk Lexus and they guy that answered cannot give me an answer, he should know how long it takes for a 5000 mile service

Just get a loaner and don't even worry about it.

30 minutes.

All it is...is a tire rotation

What do they do on the 5k service on rwd models besides checking bolts and fluids? Seems like a waste of time to bring the car in when they're not really doing anything to it.

It's also the only time when you can have the dealer change some of the options to your liking.

Rotate the tires

No way. Im pretty sure you can take your car anytime to them and tell them what you want to have changed

You sure? Our wheels and tires have a staggered setup.

True, but they do a left to right rotation rather than the standard X pattern rotation due to the staggered setup. Also do a multipoint inspection and fluid top off. This is the first few months of a new car's life, they want to ensure it was put together correctly and have the chance to prevent future disasters.

About someone who said the 5k is the only chance to have the dealer customize settings, actually, in the owner's manual, you're supposed to visit the dealer at the 1k mark to have this done, but you can do it at any time free of charge. I did my custom settings at 5k though, and it tacked on an extra hour (at least) because the techs hadn't done the turn signal change before.

I guess you can but this is what's on the website and in the manual:

LEXUS PERSONALIZED SETTINGS (LPS)
Certain electronic functions can be customized to an owner's individual preference, such as automatic door locks, theft-deterrent system, power window system, illuminated entry system and moonroof operation. Each Lexus model has a different set of customizable electronic features. Depending on the model, programming of these features is performed once at no charge either at the 30-day/1,000-mile scheduled maintenance service, or the 6-month/5,000-mile scheduled service.
