Approaching 30k miles . .
Just curious how much you guys paid at the dealership for a 30k mile schedule maintenance? Or is there a way I can avoid the dealers?

Much of the procedure is doing 'checks' you probably can do yourself. The oil/filter change isn't difficult if you have the means (lift/jackstands,etc.) How-to posts can be found on this forum and they're excellent getting you through the procedures. The air/cabin filter changes are very simple. Also, at least for the oil filter, I bought one at a Toyota dealer for $3.00 less than the same item at Lexus.
All that being said, if you don't want to do any of the checks and/or necessary fluid/filter changes yourself, I'd recommend comparing your Lexus and a Toyota dealer for costs on like procedures. Toyota usually has a significantly lower labor cost, and they're totally capable of caring for your Lexus.
