ssreekak Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Expert Folk, What are your dealers charging for a 30K service? At what point have you considered not using a dealership and a good repair shop? I am in the Boston area. Lexus of Watertown has been pretty good so far. Any bad experiences anyone? Thanks, - V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexus: $910 Toyota: $650 Independent that specializes in Toyota/Lexus: $400 Pretty much sealed the deal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenore Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 The 30k is probably nothing more than a glorified oil change. I would look in my owners maintenance book and take it to a independent and save a lot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX in NC Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Lenore is correct - the 30K service is indeed a glorified oil change with your first scheduled air filter change thrown in for good measure. I always do it myself and spend $50 or less for all the parts and fluids that I need. Throw in a tire rotation and it takes me approximately two hours out in the driveway to do everything, and I know it's done right with attention to detail all the way around. Sure beats paying some dealership hundreds of dollars to rush through the vehicle and screw something up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
