Hi,

Just wondering if any of you would recommend a service center for 60K service/routine tire-oil change on a 2002 GS300/400. Thanks,

J.

I am in Charlestown. Lexus of Watertown and Norwood quoted $900-$1100 more or less. I was planning on doing these services at an outside shop. I dont mind the drive but I need someone with an experience in dealing with Lexus. Any recommendations?

if you are handy with a wrench, then most of the stuff can be done by yourself.


I did the following in the driveway:
oil& filer
tire rotation
tranny drain and fill
cabin filter, air filter replacement
wiper blade replacement

I had the dealership do the following:
brake fluid flush,
coolant flush,
PS flush,

Dealerships are allowed 1 hour per fluid replacement so that is what jacks up the price, especially at ~ $100/hr labor.
