punkyrules Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Hi all, Can someone tell me what exactly is needed for the 60k miles check up? I was told they will need to do the following: - Flush engine, coolant, brake fluid, etc. - Replace engine filter - Replace air filter - Rotate tires - Oil Change I was also told I will probably need my brakes replaced and maybe even the rotors. I have 55,000 miles on my car now. He said all this would run around $600 when it came time for the 60k mile service. Is there anything else anyone would recommend I get serviced? The reason I am asking is because I can get all this done for much cheaper. I just want to make sure I am covering all my bases in terms of getting all the right things serviced. Thanks so much!

mailrail Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Jeez...I hope the $600 covers a COMPLETE brake job for all 4 sides, as well as the other things you have listed there. If not, maybe I should look at buying a Ford Escape instead of looking for an RX300! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 We have a member that just paid $1300 for just a REAR brake job on his ES300. And the V8 Lexus' cost even more to maintain. The dealers are very expensive. $600 is a good price for the 60k from Lexus. BUT, you dont have to have them serviced at the dealer...

If I don't service at the dealer, does that void the certification in any way? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
