Thanks for all the good advice on this forum. I too have been faced with an overzealous dealer that wants to do the 60k service and do the following: replace spark plugs, rotate and balance tires, replace outer belts, air filter and cabin air filter, oil change and filter, replace pcv valve....all for the low price of around $750. This is on a 2009 ES350 and to me just seems a tad out of control. I am inclined to call the local Toyota dealer and just see what they can do as far as the lexus recommended maintenance. The lexus dealer I work with treats me like I'm an outsider anyway as I didn't buy the car at their dealer! That....and their coffee is lousy! :-)
