Default 60k Service approaching

I picked this car up with 49k. I'm just turning 57k and will want to take care of my 60k service within the next month.

I was planning contacting the local lexus/toyota dealerships to bargain with them and see how much they'd do this for.

I'd much rather go to a mechanic that may work on the side, but does quality work for a good price.

I would do most of the components myself but I do lack the tools to do some and would want a major service be done by someone very competent.

Another thing too, I need a set of tpms sensors programed so this is an additional reason of me wanting to get this done at the dealer.
I also want to haggle a free wheel balancing. and maybe an alignment.

So anyone have recommendations?

Call Dean Bustami at McGrath Lexus in Westmont. 630-706-6367. You can use my name and tell him I promised you would be taken care of Lexus is the only place you can set the TPMS. But Im not sure you want them to balance those rims/tires, alignment they can handle but I would fear them touching those pretty rims.

Some of the stuff we may be able to do in my garage if you want. I have plenty of tools to do just about anything and I have your rims. I just got a set of OEM 5 star and plan to slap some rubber on them this weekend.

For the 60k mile service you don't need to be doing a whole lot, looking at the Lexus maint. schedule, it's mostly just inspecting parts along with a oil change, cabin filter change, and brake fluid change. Nothing that's too hard, I would save the $$ and do it yourself...
