LoL @ My Lexus Dealer....
Just did the 90k fluid items on my 2010 IS at my Lexus dealer and they wanted $79 to replace+install the cabin air filter.
The part alone was $40.......
Just ordered from Sewell for $14.75 and I'll install it myself like I've done every 15k miles....
I can't believe the prices they charge for this stuff....

I know it is. I learned that lesson the hard way and my extended warranty through Geico paid for it to be fixed.

I drive 30k/year as this is my work car and they let me bring in parts I buy from Sewell.
My biggest gripe was the price disparity between the list price of these silly little air filters ($40 vs $14).
I actually was planning on buying the filter at the dealer yesterday figuring I'd probably pay $20-$22. When my SA told me $40 for the part alone I laughed at him!

It's pretty much the same everywhere. The local Toyota dealer had a price around $68 to replace the cabin air filter in my Tacoma. I politely declined, bought one at the auto parts store, and installed it myself. The Acura dealership had a similar price for us when we had our TSX. There's a lot that I will have the dealership do. Replacing cabin air filters isn't one of them.

Dealership is in the business to make money.
If price of service was a concern, avoid dealership and go straight to a mechanic shop. That price is not surprising at all... we all know that dealers will overcharge for service.
Changing cabin filter is a piece of cake and there is DIY on here. No excuse why anyone can't do this.

Lol this happened when I was waiting for my car when I went. the advisor went over to this young girl (college) and said "You need a new cabin filter.. it'll be $50 for us to change it. Its really yucky and gross you should do it" and the girl was like sure! I wanted to stop her but didn't.

I just went through that with brakes. Advisor told me that they wanted $850 for rotors and brakes. He turned to me, and said well it's hard to get them off, and greasy I said lets not play this sexist game. I've rebuilt 3 engines, and grew up on a farm. Just because I wear a suit doesn't mean I can't get dirty. Just ordered the parts from Sewell for $228. I plan on working on her next weekend. Yes, I change my own air filters also. Sorry I get sick of men thinking women can't fix their cars. You won't see this woman stranded. My husband which is a retired Marine laughed at the guy. Said you pissed off the wrong chic
