Default Do you take your GX to Lexus for service

I ask this cause in the maintenance section, many guys are outraged by the price it cost to have their Lexus vehicles serviced.

I've looked into the price of Lexus verse Toyota and I gotta say Lexus is double if not triple the price of Toyota service on the same service intervals and exact items being performed.

I take my ES to Toyota who oddly has many Lexus vehicles also being serviced and soon my GX will visit the Toyota dealer, just for your info this Toyota dealer is recommended highly for their service.

With that said, where do you guys get your GX or other Lexus serviced or do you just bit the bullit and pay 1000 bucks for the 30k

Just remember that the debit card expires 12 months after it was issued. Mine expires in November, well before I'll hit 30K. Not sure what I'll do with any balance remaining then...

Just today, I had my GX serviced. It had reached 15,000 miles and needed the oil changed. I have been using Mobil 1 Synthetic since the first oil change at 5,000 miles.

They changed the Oil and Oil Filter, replaced the Air Condtioner Filter, changed Rear Differential Oil, changed Air Filter, for a total of $175.00.

Had it done at EZ-LUBE.

I expect to do the same at 30,000 miles. I change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles.

If anyone has a better idea, please let me know.

Oops. Yeah, you're right. Not sure why I thought it was 04; mine too is 05. Should be no problem to use it up before then.

Thanks,
Tony
