Default Anyone use Toyota service?

My local dealer is ok (Stevens Creek Lexus in San Jose) but I would prefer a good Indy repair place. However there aren't any (vs many for my old BMWs) so I've been thinking about maybe a Toyota dealer?

The main reason is cost - I just think $600 for 30K service and $400 for one axle brake replacement is crazy.

Thanks in advance

Does $400 for brakes include parts? My independent shop charges $120 per axle if I bring my own parts, that is including rotors replacement.

I actually prefer a trusted independent shop cause u can see what they're doing and no joy ride and crap like that like big dealers do!

Thanks for all the replies

I'm going to give Toyota Palo Alto a try, they are close to my work. Will also take a look at the Indy above - quite the review on yelp there....
