Service

[navstar]

Hi,

I've just bought an IS200SE (X reg, 2001). It will need the 60,000 mile service and I wanted to know exactly what is covered in this service and the cost involved if I have the work done at a Lexus dealership or Lexus Specialist.

I live in the West London Area.

Thanks in advance for all opinions and advice.

I have a 2000 X and just had my 60k, I was advised not to bother using Lexus cos of the age/value of the car, given that the 60k is a major one and expensive labour (lexus edited their service details for the timing belt, saying 6 years/60k, contrary to the books saying 100k), unless you know someone at lexus who can do it on the cheap,

timing belt/tensioners/aux belts/water pump should all be checked at 60k, the water pump alone from lexus is £100+vat, the labour for the belts/pump etc is 3-4 hours, so obviously its best to get them all done together if you can, I luckily didn't need a water pump so I saved £117,

if they've already been done then your laffin'

check other threads on here about plugs

I might add that creativeperformance2004 has been recommended for them, however, I ordered 6x IK20's and 6x IK22's for Jamie's and only received 5 of each, and am currently in dispute about the 2 missing ones, lol, I don't know how often this seller cocks up...

hope this all helps

Read the Dealer Reviews and Pricing thread on this site. Whatever you do, shop around. For example my 30k on my IS - quote I got from one local Lexus dealer was £307, trying another Lexus dealer a few miles further up the road cost me £120 for the same thing. With a £180 difference it could pay for a weekend away. Never accept your first quote.

Sorry to go but I thought it had been sorted Rory and he was sending them out?
