Default My 30k Service $250

30k Service

I had the 30k Service done for my 2001 RX SS last Sat at Lexus of Bellevue (WA). I usually get my reg oil changes done at Toyota of Kirkland (where they charge $10 each labor for oil change/tire rotation) but depending on whom I talked to, I was quoted anywhere from $180 to $360 for the 30k service (only the items on the mfr manual and Mobil 1/Oil Filter/Air Filter provided by me). I was quoted $240 for the same at Lexus of Bellevue so I went there – this was my first paid service at any Lexus dealer.

Here is a rundown:
Minor Service [Notes: Its actually Major service for 30k but in the Major service they change transmission fluids etc which I didn’t want and hence the Minor service; I provided 5qts of Mobil 1 oil and Filter and gasket ($9 from Toyota Dealer)]
Change Engine Oil Oil Filter and drain plug gasket
Inspect Enginer Air Filter
Rotate Tires
Inspect Brake System: Front Brakes 6mm Rear Brakes 8mm remaining
Inspect Steering Linkage and Rack * Pinion Assembly
Inspect Ball Joints and Covers
Inspect Drive Shaft Boots
Set 4 Tires to 32PSI Spare=40
Front Tire Depth 4/32 7/32
Rear Tire Depth 6/32
Inspect and Top off all engine compartment fluids
Load test battery, clean terminals and fill
Battery Condition- PASS
Check Int & Ext lights for operation
Check windshield wiper operation, blades and washer fluid
Inspect drivetrain fluids and top off as needed
Cooling system inspection- coolant level good to 34F
Retorque flange bolts
Road Test
Hand wash & Vaccum
$108.53 incl taxes

Flushed Brake Fluid and filled system [No diff in prices for brake fluid (2 qts @ $5 each) from Toyota/Lexus, so let them use their own]
$108.53 incl taxes

Replaced Air Filter [Couldn’t find K&N 32-2045-1 so went with 32-2052; they didn’t complain about it;]
$31.55 incl taxes [Pretty high- I should have done this myself!]

CBEST options were changed at no cost.

Total = $248.61

Was provided with a ES300 (2003) loaner. The Bridgestones on it made a big difference in handling compared to my Integritys. Automatic wipers are great. Must have feature for any future purchase for Seattle weather

Great deal...I don't understand why people are paying almost
twice that or more. I will beat that price when it's my time...

Default Additional Services?

The following is supposedly the factory recommended service schedule for Lexus in Canada.

http://www.heffnerlexustoyota.com/se...usservice.html

The 48K kilometer service (equivalent to 30K miles) costs about about $250US.

I'm wondering though, if anyone has had their transfer case oil changed, and how much this would generally cost. Its listed under "Additional Service Requirements"...
