Thanks for the info. $800 seems on the high side but I plan to get a quote too from my dealership when I go in for service.
I know these GS F bushings shouldnt cost more than a $120 for both. I sourced a local enthusiast who's willing to install for $150 and does this for a lot of people. A lifetime alignment at Firestone is ~$200 (though I doubt they have the software yet). So this should be a $470 job but I wouldn't be getting the warranty coverage like you did by going to a dealer.
although you're correct about warranty on work, that total you provided is more the ball park figure i would agree with. even $150 for this install for bushings is a bit high...$75 an hour for 2 hrs isn't bad, but can be done in an hr tops...without running into issues of course. again, $470 is a lot nicer on the wallet than $800
wait...so parts plus R2 and an alignment cost $800 USD?!?! was there anything else? parts (2ea LCA bushings) alone is under $200

It was about $200 more than I figured it would be The LCA bushings are about $100 a piece from the dealer. Straight from Lexus standard time/labor bushing job is 4.8 hours. If you can get a Lexus dealership to do the job for $470 let me know. I’ll get a refund.
4.8hours to install the lca bushings?!?! Are they that incompetent or simply theft?!. My dealer charged me an hour and the toyota dealer I used for my lca bushing on my 2021 is 350 was 1h also,maybe even 0.75h for both. Pm me your email address and i'll scan my workorders tomorrow...that is insane!!

will do. I complained when I picked it up that they billed me like that. I talked to the manager about it and he promised he would look into it.

4.8 hours is the textbook time according to slow Lexus technicians that make these manuals. I bet it took them MAX 2 hours to do the job, but they charge using the textbook estimates. IMHO, that's good for insurance work or warranty work, but charging a customer like that is literal theft in my opinion. If they really spent 4.8 hours installing those bushings, they suck real hard and are they probably got 2-3 Starbucks while working on your car...
The poor guy just got taken advantage at the dealer and you want him to bring you some Starbucks....Come on man, you need to bring HIM a Starbucks (LMAO
