I just hit the 15k mark, so that means another service appointment. I
was checking around the local Lexus Dealerships (Silver Spring,
Rockville, Alexandria) and they all seem to want around $400 for it.
Seems a lot for a glorified oil change, tire rotation, and fluid
check. I heard that we don't have to get it serviced at a Lexus
dealership. As long as we keep some type of receipt showing that we
had it serviced somewhere, the warranty should stay valid, or so I've
heard.
Has anyone tried getting their IS serviced from anyone but the
dealership? Is there such thing as Lexus-certified independent
service shops?

S,
if you know a good, honest tech guy who has been working on your cars for many years, then just order the parst from steve at a discount , and just ask the guy to srvice the car according to the owner's manual. several mambers did these for the most expensive 60k service.
this is a lex, so do expect a little more $$$ than other brands at the dealers. but lex dealer still charge less than other german brands.
