I need it. I live in Illinois...how much will it be? I bought my ES back in JAn at 76K on the dash now its at 93K. Oil every 3K miles. No problems yet except for my A/C compressor going bad. Thanks. Also what does the service consist of?
I did mine at 105K, basically it includes timing belt, tensioners, water pump, cam seals, plug wires, main drive belt, plugs, distributor cap, rotor. Lexus quoted me $2200 for this service (and this was in Texas where supposedly things are cheaper). Well, I ordered the original toyota parts from the internet (for the V6 camry) which cost me around $$300 (if memeory serves) and had my mechanic install the parts for $350. The labor charges of $350 included changing the springs on the car on all four corners. After performing the servce, I happily drove the car to Boston on 3 day journey!
I was a dumbass and took my car to the dealership(Lexus of Rockvile, MD) to get 90K service. I paid $660 for everything I had done to my car. I had rear brake pads replaced which was $230 and I had something done to my AC because it was smelling pretty bad. I dont know what else they did to my car, but runs and that's all that matters to me. They charged me $89 an hour for labor. I know I got ripped off pretty badly, but I dont care, as long as it was done right.

I think most people (including me) who have gone for the 90K service paid higher prices than you did, so don't feel too bad bro. Did you get your timing belt replaced as well? That is usually recommended at the 90K mark. The labor rate at your dealership is the same as mine (in Greenwich, CT). Food for thought... if you go to a Toyota dealership, the rate should be around the ballpark of $75/hr. Toyota uses pretty much the same parts as Lexus.
