I'd be pretty nervous about having major engine service done, TSB or otherwise.
Would the local Lexus grease monkey get everything back together and working as well as the highly trained and skilled factory technicians did in the first place?
Unless I had a real problem that needed this work, I'd be quite happy not to have to take it in.

Maybe you should take your car to another dealership and see what they say. When I brought my car in, they knew exactly what I was talking about and didn't give me any problems with it.

Like everone said before, take your car in for a legitimate problem or a TSIB specific issue. Lexus does stand by their products and will take care of legitimate claims. I took my car in for the front brake dust issue and in addition to changing the pads they also installed new rotors
. I don't think anyone needs to "trick" Lexus into anything that is legitimate.

I just bought a 06 and yes, my valvetrain is loud **ticking** I understand that its normal and will not hurt anything but I will bring it to dealer soon and I will let everyone know what happens!

ticking i'm aware of but my engine is really loud while idling. i used to have exhaust so i never really hear the engine. ive own toyota cars and they too have direct injection but the noise is nothing compared to what the is350 is making even with all the windows closed while sitting on a stop light you can really hear it from the cabin. is this normal for the is350?
