Default 90k maintance price avg !?!?!?!

Iam a brand spakin new to the Lexus world and not to familiar with maintance prices. I called Hennessey Lexus here in Ga. to get an estimate for the 90k service on my 99 SC 400 which includes water pump, timing belt, all belts, new hoses all front engine gaskets,etc. etc. related to the service and was quoted a price of $1300...is this an avg price on 90k service. Feel free to chime in with what you guys paid for your service at your local Lexus Dealership.

Basing on an SC300, that doesnt sound bad if they are including gaskets/seals..hg, front main, rear main, etc..

Spent around $1,400 for my SC300 back in May.

New TB, waterpump, valve cover gaskets, misc. gaskets, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, various little things like radiator cap, etc. I also had to get a new distributor on top of it all which actually bumped my total to almost $2k.

Yes, it's an expensive service. I was stupid for getting it done because I'm debating on whether I'm going to keep this car or not. Every month is one bigger headache after the next.

Yeah thats roughly what their gonna charge you because of all the labor hours. My friend who's a toyota specialist did mine for 275 and I just brought him the parts so total was like half of that

I just got of the phone with the Service Dept Rep. The service includes rotate/balance the tires, raditor cap, waterpump, all front seals/gaskets, timing belt, in cabin/engine airfilter, change trans. fluid, rear diff. fluid, new thermostat, check the spark plugs, and full detail inside outside....not to mention a HOT new loaner vehicle

My local Toyota dealer won't touch my car because it's a "Lexus" believe it or not.
