30,000 Mile service
Coming up next week - was sort of surprised when the dealership said to pick up a loaner and drop off the GX on Thurs. @ 9:00 but it would not be done until Fri. afternoon. What cost am I likely looking at? Vehicle is a 2013 Premium with no issues I am aware of other than the dreaded lean (sometimes). Any TSB's or recalls I need to know about? Thanks!

No idea on price... you will probably need to reach out to dealer to find out cost and detailed list of items.
Here is what is listed in the owner's guide. Looking in past maintenance records on my vehicle a dealer in CA claimed they lube the driveshaft but I can see that was service paid for but not rendered.
Do you drive off-road or tow? I'd get an itemized cost. As an example... replacing AC filter costs less than $10 and takes about 1 minute to change. I kid you not.....it can be done blindfolded.

Yes, most of them are just inspections. You seafoam it too? In the tank or through the brake booster?

Got it done today - great price I think, $378 and that includes new wiper blades that I requested. Heck just the Mobil One is pretty expensive. Just about even labor/materials. Can't complain. Nice loaner, courteous folks and a free Starbucks card to welcome me since the dealership has new owners. All my services have been there but it changed hands.

Very helpful ... thanks. One question for our GX460 2016 at 30k for which I'm going to have the dealership do an oil change and I'll handle cabin air filter and engine air filter ....
Do I need to have them or somone else lubricate drive shaft and re-torque nuts and bolts (I'm assuming I can't do it, but haven't researched).

1) contract the previous owner(s), but have to find them first.
2) Get a carfax and see where it was done. Call those locations and explain your're the current owner and want the service records for the vehicle. I did this with ours because it was serviced at the owner's luxury car dealership network, but not a lexus dealer. porsche dealer was more than happy to email me the records with the previous owner info redacted.

If it's not on the lexus dealers website then you have a couple options.
1) contract the previous owner(s), but have to find them first.
2) Get a carfax and see where it was done. Call those locations and explain your're the current owner and want the service records for the vehicle.
