Silver250

Sydney Lexus dealers must be doing it cheaper than Melbourne dealers. I got a quote from Melbourne City Lexus for $740. Must be the cost of living here in Melbourne :P

Update: Decided to ring up Brighton again. Ended up speaking to a different person in the Service Department. This time I was quoted $780. The Toyota Dealer quoted me $670. They explained (and as others have in this forum) that there is quite a bit of work involved with changing the fuel filter with having to remove the seats, etc. Not much difference (relatively) between the Toyota and Brighton quote, so decided to book it in with Brighton.

We bought it second hand from Brighton. The 3 year warranty is a dealer warranty. I asked the dealer at the time of purchase and they explained that the warranty is offered by Brighton only and as such all service work must be done by them as they cannot guarantee the workmanship of other service centres, other Lexus dealers included. Just an update. I contacted the same Toyota Dealer today via email to confirm the price for the 75k service. They got back with a quote for $670. I asked as to why it's so expensive and the response was: "as the rear seat assembly has to be removed and your fuel sender unit also removed to replace your fuel filter. " I had to ask again after I read this thread last night as I had a feeling that the $340 price quoted for me over the phone seemed too good to be true.

Wow! I got a quote from Brighton today for the 75k service and they gave me a price of $1,054. I couldn't believe it. I had to double check and they confirm the price. I even got the price for the 90k service and that's over $1500. I was expecting a price of around the $800 mark. But over a grand for an oil, oil filter and fuel filter change is just absurd. I checked with Melbourne City and they quoted me around $750. I then checked with a Toyota Dealer who quoted me around $340. The Toyota dealer mentioned that they were actually doing a service for an IS250 today. The decision now is that we bought the car from Brighton and need to get the car serviced with them to keep our 3 year warranty. I just wondered if I was given this "special" price since the person on the phone asked me for the car rego before providing me with a quote.
