Hi, my GS300 just had it's 20k service at a Lexus dealer. The dealer reported 80% wear on both front and rear pads and susgested I had them replaced at a cost of about £400 saying they wouldn't last to the next service.

This is my first Lexus after 2 Rover 800s, 2 BMW5 and 2 E Class Mercs. In all this time I've never replaced front pads under 30k and have never had to replace rear pads despite doing upwards of 20k a year.

Is this sort of wear normal on Lexus?

Seems a bit extreme to me i can understand the fronts neening replacing as they are heavy on them but seems a bit quick for the rears to wear out .then again i had to have rear discs and pads at 29,000 so not really surprised

£400 for pads all round is flippin daylight robbery mate!!!!

which dealer??

Are you sure they are not replacing the discs as well for that price?

Evening all, Ive just bought a mk II gs300 sport 3 yr old - had all the pads replaced for 80 quid, £400 seems scandalous unless its discs as well

Buy the parts and do them yourself, or take it to qwik fit or someone. They will do just as good a job for less than half that price.

i'd say... Buy the Pads from Mr one and only...Chris Shipley.
And then have a local guy fit them... probally end up saving loads... and prob's not effect any warranty neither.

Thats what i did on my IS200.. I think the AUTOMATIC cars wear out pads quicker then manual... am i right?
