ey guys.....im just wondering if this is important, should i bring my car to the dealer for it? lmk, tia.

elmerrox

i did it, i had a feeling it wasnt important, but i got a decent car wash out of it.

it is not really necessary, unless you want to do your LPS and get a free car wash. i don't know what else they did to the car...

They check fluids etc, make sure no leaks thats about it. oh and i got nitrogen filled @ that point

just wait till 5k and get that service free.

I also received a free oil change at the 1000 mile service. At the 5K too!

nabbun

you got N filled tires?

I wonder if my dealer can do that lol

I too changed my oil at 1000k just to remove potential debris from the engine breaking in. I have heard some cars like Acura do not recommend this because their is a special chemical(s) added to the oil that promotes the break-in and it is good to go until 5000k as a result. I feel better having done it at 1k just to be safe. I remembered that Nissan had the 1k oil change free of charge and was adamant about this. I am sure for the members that waited until 5k, they will be fine.

1K Mile Service?? THE CAR IS BRAND NEW!!! I thought u didnt have to wipe the cars @$$ until like 5000k?? lol

But as long as its free....why not!

Brian231

1k free service is more of an inspection basis and car wash. No free oil change is provided unless it is a dealer only thing. I didn't bother going to the dealer for it, did it myself. I guess Lexus provides it for good measure or to inspect any potential issues from manufacturing or transport.

MLIAISON

Arent they suppose to do that before they sell you the car?..........

Brian231

Yes grasshopper, but sometimes, issues expose themselves early on are better rectified early on. Often times, it is a marketing tool to get the customer use to the service department.

MLIAISON

Grasshoppa!! how did you know my nickname (people from old job use to call me that) lol.

I thought if issues arise early on, you should wait like a year and see if it goes away

Also the 1K service is for your License plate install. I told my dumb dealership not to drill holes for my front license plate b/c I don't want it. I also asked them not to wash my car because I don't want the swirls. Well guess what?...My front license plate was installed, and I got a car wash...ugh! It also took them an 1 1/2 to due this service. After I got my car back, I noticed one of the techs ruin the finish on the front passenger seat.

If I were you, just save yourself the time and have the license plates mailed to you by the dealer. IMO, the 1k service is worhtless.

THATS SOME FUNNY ****, cuz i went in today for my 1k service, i told them NOT to wash my car, and they did. I told them, NEVER WASH MY CAR unless i ask please. The stealer doesnt listen very well.
