it's just easier for those of us who aren't worried too much about spending an extra buck for all of the service records to be archived in an readily available database.

 

Don't know about Lexus dealership where everyone lives but in Newport Beach, CA where I work. Wow! What a nice place! But I rather support the small repair shops. I sold my Infiniti FX35 to buy a used IS250 for my daughter. The Infiniti dealer charged the buyer $250 for an inspection (missed several things wrong with the car that I later told the buyer), then wanted another $600 to change the brake fluid , fan belts, and an oil cooler ring. I bought the parts for about $60 and my mechanic charged me another $65, including the required smog check, total.

 

Like a few others have said, never ask for the x mile service.

Either go to Toyota to get those services done, or save some $$$ and DIY if you can

 

Thanks for this info just having this conversation I just bought a IS 350 an it's due for an oil change. my wife is trying to get me to take it to Lexus for an oil change and they really don't do anything different other than free Starbucks lol.
