Sorry folks for bringing back this thread, but I got my 25k maintenance work done for my 2010 Rx 350 today at a nearby dealership. Since I bought my vehicle last August, I requested for an oil change as well. Also, got the recall checked, this all done I shelled out $224 out the door, does this seem a fair price?

I checked the bill and I was charged $0 for recall, they did everything as stated in the manual for 25k maintenance. Parts was $64 and labor around $136 with taxes it came to $224, but they did fill the tank up completely and they said it's their practice to fill up the tank during any recall.

I do not have any plan to take my RX to the dealer for maintenance nor repair. Most maintenance I can do myself. I just changed the oil and filter last week. I enjoy doing that sort of work. If I ever need to take it it, I will take it to a mechanic which I will investigate first.
I had a BMW 520e, bought brand new and had it for 11 years. I did all maintenance myself and never took it to the dealer. There are so many good bmw mechanics around. I am sure there are plenty of Lexus mechanics too.

MjThind, I had my 25K service two months ago. It's considered minor service, basically rotate tires and check this and that. I was in and out in no time. Plus it was free to me thanks to my awesome SA Guess I'll save the Lexus points for the 30K. That might be free too

I like Anita's SA, who did her service without the oil change for free. Although I believe that's the way it SHOULD be, maybe it would be worth it to develop a good relationship with your SA, too.

I just got my 25k mine last week I prefer to get my oil change every 5k, but I was referring to anything major because he was charged for almost the price of a 30k service. I didn't literally mean no such thing as a 25k, I meant a major 25k service, know what I mean?

That's what I thought. It gets confusing now that the RX can go 10K between oil changes but the major services remain the same. Minor service including the 25K should be no more than $75. I recommend asking the SA to have only what needs to be done done. Mine does exactly that and will find coupons to help defray the cost even more. She won't let me overpay for stuff I don't need especially since I have low mileage.
