I had mine replaced for free out of warranty by Lexus. That is customer service.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
My dealership is fantastic.
The reason it costs so much is the homelink is now in the mirror where in the 2GS it is in a separate compartment above the roof. I saw the invoice for it that had to be approved and I was like "damn that is F-sport money"![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

wow.
for the people that pay under a 100$ for the oil change, is that including the loaner car or do you wait for your cars? and inspections included?
i just got my oil changed, and the dealer charged me 188$ -25$ coupon they have on their website totaling 163$ with taxes and everything. and i always get a loaner because of work.
if it is under a 100$, then i need to find another dealer.

My dealer does oil change for $60. They do a Level 1 service (oil change, tire rotation and inspections/checks) for $100.
There is no charge for loaner - but only an idiot would take a loaner for a 30 minute oil change - It would take longer to drive home and back!

hmm ic,
i looked at the bill and i got charged for 1.5 hours of labor. is this because i asked them to look at my headlights and my side mirrors which are going up by themselves and they couldnt fix?
loaner - i need to get to and from work.

i go to prestige in ramsey. they do other inspections so i guess thats where everything comes in to play? If I ask for just the oil change Im pretty sure it would be less.
i usually paid around 130-160$ per except for the big ones.

I change my oil every 3 months, so I do simple oil and filter changes in between routine services.
This may be overkill, but my car is driven in a manner that a German customer might.

My dealer charges $78 for an oil change which includes a loaner and the lounge. I change my oil every 5,000 - 7,500 miles since I drive 70 mph on cruise control to work. Not to mention a car wash though not the best. Not bad, especially when they let me drive around in a IS or RX for the day!

At Sewell, they only charge $50 for oil change, which includes an exceptional&superior service, a loaner and a wash afterward.
Since I bring my own Mobil 1, they charge $30 for the labor, oil filter, a loaner, a wash afterward, and exceptional&superior service still!!!

The people who complain about the money it takes to keep their cars going and maintenance costs should not be in a Lexus. Not to be an elitist, but there are cars for you out there and they Camrys, Avalons or Corollas. People try to do things for bottom dollar while trying to live "up" seemingly beyond their means.
To me, these costs are almost negligible because I EXPECTED to pay a bit more and it would be absurd to expect otherwise.
