This may not be the answer that you're looking for but it might give you food for thought. I used to have a 7 series BMW and it always went back to the dealer that I bought it from for servicing. Every time, I took it in, it was a four figure bill. I later met the service manager through another channel and he told me of many of the scams that they do to sell you up, apprentices doing the service instead of qualified mechanics etc. having a wheel fall off a Land Cruiser just after a dealer service came to my mind. 

I found a local mechanic that had a recommendation or two and went around to his shop unannounced and watched what was going on. I had a chat to the owner and found out about him and from a sideways chat, drew my own conclusions of what values he had on the work he did and what he wanted his business to be in the long term.

sorry for the long prologue but the bottom line is he now services all my cars, currently a Lexus LS460, MB CLK 350 conv, my sons Volvo C70 conv and my wife's IS300. I now have a mechanic that I know will tell me the truth, I know who will work on the car and I know that he knows what I expect. For the long term, have a relationship with the guy that looks after your car, you will have so much more peace of mind

mate, the guy asked for a recommendation, whats the point of talking all the above without mentioning the name of the place you are servicing? complete waste of your time and others time looking for the same and reading through this long reply. I am not being rude but its a common courtesy.

Hello all, My RX350 2010 is up for its 90k service, i am looking for a good place to service it, City lexus who quote me $1500 for the 90k service(as per log book 90k service- engine oil , engine oil filter, spark plugs, air cleaner filter, break fluid, transfer oil(gear oil), rear differential oil(gear oil), air condition filter etc).
