Forgot who, but someone in this forum said they got free service at 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k when negotiating terms. Anyone else able to do this?

Depending on what dealership you go to... (Here in CA I'm dealing with KEYES LEXUS) Your salesman can get you complimentary service. (Thank you Sam Santoso) To win my business my salesman threw in factory service free of charge for up to 20,000 miles. See for yourself. I got a 2013 gs350 F-sport on 3/10/12.

Nice!

15k maintenance is merely a tire rotation: DIY or $10?

20k maintenance is an oil change, tire rotation, and cabin filter change: $50?

i don't think you can get an oil change at lexus dealership for anything close to 50

My 5K service visits for my LS (oil, tire rotation, inspection, loaner, refreshments, cookies, etc.) are about $130.

For the new GS, the 5k and 10k mile service is free by Lexus (regardless of dealership).
Oil is changed only at 10k mile intervals, so the 5k and 15k mile service is mainly for tire rotation and inspecting fluid levels etc. At the Lexus dealership, I'd expect the 15k and 20k mile service to be significantly more expensive than $10 and $50 - but if you are getting it done elsewhere, yes, that's probably all it is worth.

At the dealership, I'd guess (based on what I paid for my previous car at the Lexus dealership) the 20k mile service to be anywhere from $150 to $200, while the 15k mile service would probably a little cheaper than that (since it doesn't have oil change)

$29.99 at Park Place Lexus of Grapevine, TX with coupon. They send us a coupon about every 3 months.

Wait, what??? I've been servicing my ES at that dealership for about 4 years, and have NEVER received that coupon - the only coupon I've ever received from them is for $30 off oil change (regular charge about $120 or so) - that was one time because I didn't service on time (because I hadn't reached the miles)
You must have a great service adviser!! Need to figure out how to get on that coupon mailing list

DIY is $50

- 0W20 oil is ~$30
- Oil Filter Cartridge is ~$5
- Oil Drain Plug Gasket is ~$1
- Cabin Filter is ~$14

Also if you get A RWD F-Sport you can't do a Tire rotation so I don't know what they would really do on a 5K Service.

lol people in tx are in love i guess. try that here in CA (as where faifai and a6s are in as well)

diy is apple to orange, most people they don't diy you know, so the claim doesn't really hold

caddyowner

When I DIY it usually leads to bad language, raised blood pressure & tools hurled out of the garage at a low angle. My family, doctor & neighbors prefer if I visit the dealer and stay calm.

when I was buying my car, me SA told me that the prepaid maintenance plans were kind of a crooked move by the dealer, which removes a lot of recommended maintenance from those plans then what you get when you walk in without them...i dont know
