trout Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 the dealer said they rec a major fluid change and drive belt change at 60k miles. Should run about 600. Does that sound normal? 2000 rx300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestu Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Sounds normal for a Lexus dealer. It would probably cost you about half of that at a reputable service mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgriffith Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I just e-mailed an independent (but fully certified) toyota & lexus mechanic & the cost to replace both belts was $75.00 plus tax. I think I will be paying him a visit soon. Also, if you are a little handy, you can get all of the fluids and do most of the work yourself. You will save a boat-load. I did that on mine & not only saved a lot, but learned a lot as well. The mechanic said he would "inspect" everything for me if I would just bring it by...and it shouldn't cost anything. So, if you are looking for a one-stop-shop with a loaner car, I would go to the dealership. But if you are looking to save a few bucks (and possibly not have a loaner), then a good independent shop can do the job as well. Just double-check to make sure they use all of the correct fluids.
