Default Wheel balancing

Do you guys know if Lexus dealerships also balance the wheels after they rotate the tires as part of a xx,000 mile service?

no, they don't...

if you have a concern about wheel balance, or if you feel any shaking in the car, or on your steering wheel at highway speeds (50 to 75mph) then talk to your dealer... from your siggy, i tlooks like your car is still under warranty...

All the Lexus dealers I've gone to (VA and FL) balance the wheels as part of the tire rotation process. It's another way to justify the high prices they charge IMO.
