5. 4 wheel alignment.
6. hood latch cable(which was broke).
7. shims.
8. Hardware kit.
9. front brake pads.
10. Machine cut rotors.
11. replace all back light bulbs.
12. air cabin filter.
13. 4 wheel alignment.
14. Tire rotation

All for $1,100? Parts and labor. Am I missing something? Like I said, I am not mechanically inclined. Who ever thinks I got ripped off must be smoking something real bad. Hey, keep in mind this is a Lexus dealership $80+ per hour for labor(like most other dealerships and local mechanics). Not to mention I had the opportunity to test drive the 05 RX330 for 2 days. You think a local mechanic would have given me a new Lexus to drive in the meantime. I think not.
