Congrats on the new car! I haven't dealt with Lexus of Chandler yet but I believe they are owned by the same group as Scottsdale Lexus (where I bought mine last October). I've had my service done at Superstition with no complaints. I also had them do tint "AZ legal" for $365. I know it's a little steep but they did an excellent job and I had the car in to change the wheels to the G-Spiders at the same time.

I bought my 2006 IS350 at superstition spring lexus and got the nano tint for $200+tax. I ended up buying the g-spyder wheels online since the dealer was asking $2000 and would not come down in price. I ended up selling my 18" OEM wheels for $425, and overall (with mounting) I ended up paying about $125 per wheel for the GS spyder wheels.

Just to let you guys know, I know a guy in the east valley that will do the 3M clearbra for a reasonable price. He did both my vette and IS350. He is 3M certified. He did my vette for $475, it covers the fenders, hood, upper and lower bumper, head lights, fog lights, and side view mirrors. He did my IS350 for $450, it covers the fenders, hood, upper and lower bumper, head lights, fog lights, and side view mirrors. If you are intereseted give me a pm and I will give his info.
but nonetheless, it looks nice

Bought my IS350 at Chandler Lexus as well. They pushed the window tint on me in finance but like all dealers I thought they were high. $299/599 for nano-tint (whatever that is). Found a bunch of other places that will tint but they seem wishy-washy when I ask if they've ever done a 2IS. It may be worth it for the no-hassle guarantee from the dealer though.
Technique, some dealers charge for loaners to cover gas costs (Scottsdale Lexus charges $5/day). When we used to take our RX there for service -we drove the **** out the loaner to recoup our fiver. Chandler is part of United Auto Group like Scottsdale so they may normally charge too.

Good to see some more AZ people here. I bought my 2006 blk/blk IS350 premium with Nav at Scottsdale Lexus last December.
Scottsdale Lexus has always said they would charge me 5bucks for gas but they never have and I have had a loaner 3 times. go figure. Thus far I have been very happy with their service.

I hear ya - they had just opened the dealership when I bought my car. I stopped by just before I put my down payment at Scottsdale and the salesperson came across very snobby. Scottsdale gave me a better deal and I felt like I was treated better there.
Things look like they might have changed which is good.
