Default IS250 32k Service Cost?

Hello everyone!

If you did your 32k at the dealership can you please share how much it costs?

Many thanks!

I just had my IS-F in and it was $550ish with tax.... it's a little steep for what they do if you ask me but it's the dealership. Your car will be a little cheaper because you won't need as much oil.

Hey thanks! I called 2 dealerships and was quoted similar prices between $500-600. Guess it's basically the same checklist for the F vs 250, except for that extra quart of oil lol...

It seems to me just a typical oil change / tire rotation package....

They also service the brakes and check everything. And wash the car, clean the mats... And attempt to clean the windows. They also gave me an ES350 loaner for the day.

To me, those brake / ball joint checks only take additional 10 seconds extra at each wheel if they are already doing tire rotation.

Not really worth a $500 job.....

Humm and I already rotated the balding OEM Bridgestones (new summer rims & tires in the works, finally) last month myself. So their "packaged" service cost is gonna really suck for me.

Check out a Toyota dealer give them the print out of what is needed to be done and I am sure u will save $$. Just my 2 cents..

If you can't work on the vehicle yourself, you can take it to independent "trusted" garages that can do the job for much cheaper.

In the Toronto area, there are a few well known shops that can work on Toyota / Lexus.

Thanks for the tip guys!

I guess I'm one of the few suckers who bought extra 4 yrs of extended warranty. They give 4 "free" oil changes as part of maintenance. Guess I'll finish that and then look for a "trusted" source.

How balding are your bridgestones?? Lol ...and there is nothing wrong with taking your car to the dealership.

I just hit 29k km on my 2010. Most people got about 32k km (= 20k mi) out of these crappy RE92. Perfect excuse to finally go 18" summer / 17" winter. Prob about 4/32 left if I have to guess. I can really feel the roads now. Rotated them to last a bit until I figure out what 18" wheels I want.

Honestly for an IS250 isn't that a little high. I hear alot guys around here complain about Mercedes or BMW service but it doesn't even cost that much to service my CL550. But I guess you pay for that special treatment you receive at the Lexus dealer but that's a car payment for an IS250!
