Thanks for your reply. I've checked with another dealer seems expensive but not too far out, was more concerned with the labour charge. Problem is the car is only worth $20k or so and I pay $900 for just a service and brake pads more or less ? Guess I just got a shock but I don't want to take it to a non dealer.

Just had my 2012 IS 350 serviced low k's 39,000 so not as per book Minor service (low k's) Replace front brake pads and machined disc rotors total inc parts Bits and pieces GST etc Labour - $583 Total - $917 ????? Does that seem right ???

I wanted white but couldn't get it so took this instead, very glad I did.

The other issue is the colour, Vermillion is epic this is a pic of it in the showroom in 2012 only done 33,000k's since - I'll keep it I guess.

I love the ISF but not a fan of the silver center console, the colour of my 350 is a big attraction, people still comment on it even the RACV guy yesterday, Vermillion. I'd get another Lexus but I just don't like the new models at all.....

That's good to hear thanks Howiefied .....

Been and gone in an hour, $229 great service by the RACV and didn't have to leave the house.

Called the RACV they will be here in 30 minutes, quoted $229 with a 2 year warranty, they had another at $370 but couldn't tell me the difference, same warranty. Dealer is closed so get it done now and get on with the day....thanks for your help.

Great thanks....

Does anyone know if you need to go to Lexus to get a new battery I have a 4 year old is350 needing one Thanks.....

Got the tyres, while I was waiting I had a look at their specials magazine and there was one there the "all rounder" $237 for 4 I asked what the difference was between those and the ones I paid $1400 for , he said "not a lot"

Fronts are $240

I'm getting the RE003's tomorrow, according to Franky X they're a better tyre and I found they're cheaper than the originals at Bob Jane Prahran, if you're in Melbourne.

I found the RE003's at Bob Jane Prahran.....I'll go with those and they're cheaper than the ER33's !!!

Yes they are staggered fit, I cant get RE003's in both sizes (front and back) so it's back to the original Turanza ER33 Lexus charge about the same as the 2 dealers I went to so may as well let them do it at service time.
