Es300 Maintenance


Recommended Posts

:P

Hello All,

I thought I'd let you know that I just had the Belts and Waterpump replaced

on my 98 ES300. The mileage was at 106,400 clearly over the time

recommended for these replacements. But it's done now.

I'm working in Grand Rapids, MI and I had the work performed by the lexus

dealer here 'Harvey Lexus' for $690. I thought that was a decent price relative

to the price quotes I received from other places. I live in St Louis and was going

to get the work performed there. But the Lexus dealer there quoted me a $1200

price, even the toyota dealer said they would do the work but they quoted me

approx. $700,800 - and up. So I feel I got a decent price, not to mention the RX330 loaner car for the day, but to me this is really nothing.

I may also have them replace the front end struts and components, they quoted

me a price of $550 for the front end portion.

What do you folks think about these prices ?

The problem with Lexus is prices vary like the wind!

I jsut had my 98 ES done: timing belt done, water pump replaced, drive belts done, cam seal replaced and crank seals replaced for approx: $740.

So I think this dealership is close to what I found to the cheapest.

$690 for everything from a Lexus dealership is great. My dealer wanted a $1000 for the job. As for the front suspension replacement that sounds pretty good from a Lexus dealer. The dealer I went to wanted to charge $2000 to do all four struts and mounts :o .

mburnickas,

which dealership did you go to? That seems like a reasonable price from a dealership. I'm in the Mass area and was thinking of either an independant or shopping around for prices. I will probably need to do these soon.

m2pc,

You might have seen this on the other thread but:

Herb Chambers (MA): (Water Pump & Timing Belt): $850.00 plus tax

*(Price via email and called)

Hoffman (CT); Timing Belt $500, and Water pump is $200: $700

*(Called and Emailed)

Balise (MA): Timing belt $399.95, Water pump $212.50: $616.50

*(email and stated price voicemail)

Hoffman and Blaise all state they check WP and to see if you need but the prices are listed.

I had the cam and crank seals done for like an extra $60.

I purchesed the car at Herb Chambers and thought they woudd give there past customers a brake, NOT ! They were the highest...Off the scale to be more like it!

I would see what other shops you have around, if not, it might be worth it to take a 1.25 hour ride to save about $200+

Wow!!

That's incredible price!

I really didn't shop around but I'm getting my Timing belt replaced at Glendale Lexus and they're charging me $1,375.

I don't even think I need it since I only have 50K on my 98 ES300 but they said they can deny my extended warranty if I do not get this done.

You got an awesome deal! Some other dealers around my area charge up to $1,600!! :censored:
