kade714 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks again for all the helpful posts on this site. The car is great, 75k miles, fully serviced at the Dealer with all paperwork. Black on black. Just noticed that I know have 3 Lexus's (Lexii ?). I didn't consciously make that decision, but it worked out like that. I guess I'm a Lexus man. Coming up on 75k service and the dealer wants $150-350. $150 is just oil change, rotate tires, check brakes. $350 includes ATF flush. I have an independent mechanic that I've taken my other cars to. I feel bad taking a car that has full documentation to an indy, but really... these prices are ridiculous and I'm not going to sell thae car for a long time. (My 94 sc400 has 183k miles and always serviced at my mechanic.) Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoinc Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I wouldn't hesitate to take the car to your regular mechanic for basic maintenence. You don't need a certified Lexus Einstein to change the oil and rotate the tires, or to flush the tranny. Now to do a timing belt.....that's another story. If you have a good mechanic that knows the Lexus really well, then by all means use them. I got stuck on a road trip in Ft Lauderdale, my starter died on my 98 LS, a friend recommended his mechanic to do the job, I was a little nervous about letting an independant do the starter R&R. Went to the guys shop, nice big clean shop full of Toyotas and Lexus', the guy did a great job, new his stuff about the Lexus, and all for $850. Enjoy your new ride David 98 LS 400 93 LS 400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
