I had the 30Kdone on my '01 and just about fell over from the sticker of $360. My '03 is due now for the 30K. I purchased the oil (syn), filter, cabin filter, diff fluid (syn), wiper blades, and antifreeze for about $ 125 and I figure I can change it all in about 4 hours if I take my time. I will have to pay the Lexus dealer to flush the brake fluid (about $100). The tranny fluid is syn already and per the master Lex mechanic around here is good for 60K miles or more. When it came time for my '01 to get the 60K the cost was over $800.

If the particular dealer you deal with has the AAA discount, they usually have a sign that advertizes it in the service drive. You can also call and ask them by phone or in person. Btw, even with the AAA discount, you wouldn't pay anywhere $320 for a properly done 60k

Well, you got me curious so I look at what they have done and here is the receipt:

Perform 60,000 Mile Maintenance Service.

INSP:A/C FILTER, BODY/CHASSIS, NUTS/BOLTS, FUEL LNS/CNNCTS, FUEL TANK VAPOR/BAND/CAP GSKT, VENT SYS HOSES, EXHST PIPES/MNTS, BRK LINING/LINES/HOSES, STEER LINKAGE, RACK&PIN ASSY FOR LEAKS, BALL JNTS, DST CVRS DRVSHFT BOOTS, RETORQUE FLANG BOLTS.

of course, there was a loaner car provided total with AAA discount: $329.13

So did they do what they are supposed to do for 60K??? Anyone???

P.S. A fellow CL member GlobalCLK also got his 60k service done at Longo for a little bit less than what I paid for.

From your list, I don't see fuel filter, and spark plugs, or valve ajustment. Looks more like a 30k service done at 60k instead. Keep in mind, if your car has iridium spark plugs, those don't need replacing till 90k.
Also, if you look in your owners manual under "Maintenance" you can find out what a 60k intails.
