Many years ago my Father took his Lexus to the dealer for an oil change. They changed the oil and did a whole bunch of "checks" and came back with a bill of $750! The only thing they came back with was telling him he needed new brakes.

I laughed when my dad told me what he paid! I said you paid $750 for someone to tell you that you needed new brakes??? I ended up changing the brakes for him for less than half that price! LOL
He never went back to a dealership for car service again.
not worth going to the stealership for anything routine. Unless you need some major work with the engine or suspension.

Got off my lazy but and mounted my 12v to USB QC3.0 regulator for my dashcam. Heres the wiring. IIRC white is GNC and pink is 12v acc. You will not get any power if you overhead console is unplugged , so you have to wire it up, plug everything back in and restart your car.

Cleaned the windshield yesterday and applied RainX, supposed to be raining here most of the week.
Also ordered a replacement wiper. Got the original lexus part for like 20 something bucks.

I also have to get off my lazy butt and hardwire my dashcam as well. Got this almost 2 months ago and haven't found the will to go out in the heat and start messing with the overhead console. Question, how do you get the wire leads to remain in the connector?

Rain X seems to be an almost forgotten product, but I continue to use it. Never been disappointed since 1994. For optimum results, I do apply every 6 weeks or so, but it can be effective for 3-4 months, depending on weather.

I put Soft99 glaco coat on my windshield in december, it's still going strong without re-applying.. i think that's why rain-x is a forgotten product, wasting your valuable time re-applying every 6 weeks. I've had it last ~10 months on my gf's car.
