Default 10k maintenence

So my understanding is all that is really done is any oil change. I am not really wanting to do servco and pay $100+ and I definitely can not fit under my car, so where would you guys recommend going?

In my old car, which was a old camry (beach car) I just went to jiffy lube. But is there anywhere else that any of you recommend for a decent price, or JL fine for something this minor.

Sidenote, I can't believe I have 10k already. Ive only had the car for about 5-6 months haha.

Haha, I know I should, but Im too lazy to jack up my car. I havent done an oil change since high school on my friends truck, since that didnt need to be jacked up. Maybe on my next one I will do it, being under a car with the jack that came with the kinda scares me.

Wanna make a easy 50 bucks

5k is free, you should also make sure you change your personal settings on this visit, because I believe after this they will charge you for it. I drive between anywhere from 2-4 client's offices every day for work and my office WILL NOT reimburse my mileage.... oh well tax deduction haha.

oh yeah, make sure you specify NO CAR WASH. Its a free swirl mark service if you do.

You can either DIY or have a service station do the maintenance for you. I have my friend's shop do all my service. I haven't been to Lexus for maintenance since 2002! PM me if you want his contact info.

You got that right, Im on the newer side when it comes to mechanical stuff, even though oil changes are probably the most basic thing. But if you ever want to hide some money from the IRS or something give me a call
