Default Service/Maintenance costs? I did a search

Hi guys, how much are the 60k and 90k services for the LS430? Is there any other expensive maintenance scheduled besides these until after 90k? thanks

Smile Services!

Theywill range between $400 as low all the way to a little over $1,000 if you go to dealer. Im about 2600 miles from my 90,000 mile service and its going to be Between $1,000-1$1,220 here in Va Beaches Charles Barker Lexus. For the most part the prices vary depending on were you are in the country. If I knew a reliable mechanic who specialized in working on Lexus' I would use her/him but, i havent found anyone I can trust to work on my car to date.

All the best on the normal wear and tear, that is something you cant predict. Ive heard of people who never had issues at all with there cars(Lexus',Benzes,BMW's and Jaguar etc.) and others who have had several issues. Its all about luck of the draw I guess. I have had a few but, I warn you just because I have doesnt mean you will hve the same issues. Previous owners do things that we are unaware of.

So my best advice is do all your services required and hope for the best. Most cars no matter the make and model do well with regular services being performed. You shouldnt have alot of issues as long as you do your best at services. The unexpected is just that unexpected!

It depends on what is expensive to you. To me its all costly. For the most part besides the big every 30,000 mile services ive paid around the $150-$350 range for other services cant remember which mileage but, know its a rangy figure. They do it based on prevention for some items and need for others. I do the whole prevention thing because Im not handy at all with cars.

For those who are maybe its not as needed to have full services. If your not handy its worth the piece of mind. Things like brakes which cost me over $700 to replace were a cost that was mind blowing to me but, my piece of mind was worth it. These cars(luxury) are not for those on budgets like me. I have to say the cost of ownership is costly but, when you get what you want its worth it. So im happy with the cost because I got what i wanted.

Best of on your new car.

Not looking foward to that. I havent been there yet! Only at 87,000 ,miles and headed to my 90,000 miles service. This is why you must be careful if you want a luxury car. There are more cost than the price to purchase and gas. Wow, just Wow! That price is through the roof.

Yeah bro, its worth it, I guess having what you want makes it easier to bare. My concern is for those who get in over there head and buy these cars because they camn make the payment and they can afford the gas not adding in service and normal wear and tear!

I feel you, you must pay the COST to be the BOSS. Were all fortunate to be able to spend this amount for a car when we can certainly by a more affordable one!

These cars will last forever if you do the service right.

What is 500$ every few months to have the assurance that rain, sleet, snow, no matter the condition your Lexus will start up the first time every time.

Even more so for the guys who also have an LX
