Default Chicago dealer for 60k sevice

Wondering if anyone has opinions about Lexus of Naperville and /or McGrath Lexus of westmont service dept. I'm due for my 60k service for my ISF, and any input about these service departments would be appreciated. Thanks

Go to Lexus of Woodfield or Arlington. If you go to Woodfield, talk to the service manager. Her name is slipping me right now but she’s a car person. Drives a Chevelle on radials. Tell her the guys from Chicago F club sent you

Yes, appreciate this idea. I've had bad experiences at Woodfield (overfilled oil, ELF broken wire harness) but if there's a car chick there I may consider going back. Avoid SA Keith - he's completely useless. I'd only consider working with him again if he had his lobotomy reversed & his fking ears cleaned.

Arlington has been fair, but I don't believe anyone truly knows the ISF there. Overfilled oil twice but at least they've (begrudgingly) listened to my other requests. They took care of my spark plug tube seals with only a bit of pushback. However, I'd never trust them with, say, a full trans flush. Come to think of it, I don't know if I'd trust anyone but myself with that.

I bought my F at Westmont. They seem to have the most F traffic in the state. But I haven't investigated a more thorough service with them.

A little off topic, but what is involved in the 60k service and is it worth it doing it at the dealer?

I believe spark plugs, coolant flush, diff fluid, valve clearance inspection, replace various filters, I'm probably forgetting a few other items

It's been at least seven years, but I was consistently disappointed with McGrath Westmont. Tried a few others but was most satisfied with Bredemann in Glenview. I'm at 68K and overdue for the same service (passing on the valve inspection), so update us on Woodfield if you go...am curious myself.
