Default 2006 IS350 60K Service

Hello Guise,

With my 60k coming up, I would like to confirm what's all the best that can be done for my baby!
I know there may be multiple threads on this so I apologize in advance.

I plan on purchasing this kit from Sewell.

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2006/2087.html

Is it fine that I purchase this kit, or would I be better off purchasing from a local auto store?

Isn't there something special I can do to get a discount through Sewell?

& do you guys recommend anything else I should get done outside of what is included in the kit?

Thanks in advance!

you might save about $100 or so going thru sewell or other auto stores...but your main cost is going to be labor cost...changing spark plugs.

Total Cost for 60k mile service by Lexus - about $1200 to $1500.

so trying to save $100 or so...is just really wasting time and effort...

so just let Lexus do it...

good luck

Just take it to a shop you trust. I did mine 60k for $200 labor at Music Box by Tommy in El Monte, CA. Shop around.

Just buy your own supplies and have a shop do the labor. The dealers will charge a neck and arm for it.

I plan on replacing the spark plugs myself. they are easily accessible once the intake manifold plenum is removed. if you are mechanically inclined, go for it!

i would hold-off brake fluid flush until i get new brakes; so the flush doesn't disrupt the system. but that is me.
