Is 35k, 45k , 55k maintenance necessary ? my 2021 GX is coming close to 45k. major thing they gonna do is rotating tires and quote me $220.

The 45k service, along with the tire rotation, includes lubrication of the u-joints and slide yokes. This is an important maintainance item that is often overlooked. Additionally , if you use your GX to tow then Lexus recommends you change the front and rear differential fluid. Personally I take my GX to the dealer for all services but I always check the maintenance schedule to make sure they do everything that is recommended. I know these services are pricey but I don’t DIY anymore.

... an aside ... never understood going to a Lexus dealership for "tire anything" ... go to Discount Tire and purchase real (non-OEM) tires with their free tire balance and rotation plan. They have the most extensive nationwide network ... so if traveling, it is easy to find a Discount Tire within distance for tire repair. They only do tires ... versus a Lexus dealership where the "Tire Technician" was just fired from McDonald's the previous week ... with 15-minutes of training.
