Lexus Prices - Fair??
I went in today to get my ball joints looked at, and they're saying the following:
Labor : $209
Parts : $190.30
GOG : $0
Misc. : $20.90
Tax : $15.63
TOTAL : $435.83
sound right? or should i shop around?

Your paying too much for the parts. Buy them from Sewell (lexus-parts.com) I think I got quoted $55 a piece for them with CL discount. Your Lexus dealer should let you bring in your own parts.

hmm.. that would be a great idea, but this is the only thing i need done to my car... i might get some bushings also but i doubt that'll take long.. i'm thinkin' about just going to midas and havin' them install the ball joints.. is it bad to take this job to any other place other than a lexus/toyota dealer?

Well, then you're a good customer. I'd ask about bringing the parts in, and see if they can work with you on the price to install them. Take it over to Toyota and get a quote from them (which I assume will be cheaper). Bring the quote back to your Lexus dealership and let them know that you'd rather give Lexus the business, but they need to come down in price, especially for a job that is relatively easy (and I would remind them that you recently had the 90k service done there as well).

what's a reasonable price to get the ball joints installed?
how much more to get my dvd navigation update installed, bushing kits installed and spark plugs installed?
