Default Lexus beats BMW!

haha I had thought that "all" Lexus services are cheaper than BMW....not so on the coolant flush, it's $200 (BMW was $140).

An alignment at BMW is around $200, yet it is $89.95 at Lexus. BMW I believe uploads the info to their system (the printouts are very proprietary), and they put x number of kg in the driver seat to weigh it down.

I was gonna say well this is a V8, but at the same time, the capacity is no larger.....it's all good. I prefer the dealer to handle the car over a muffler shop. True story, on my Maxima, at a muffler shop, I said can I watch you flush my coolant, I really want to see how the machine works? I was told, "Of course you CANNOT watch, you're not allowed in the service area." So I just waited, and then I just walked up to my car, the tech said hey what are you doing here? lol And he filled up my reservoir with straight water, took a long time for it to mix....they're that cheap, can't even use 50/50....
