20k Service, Windscreen Wipers

[cactusmaac]

I'll be getting the car serviced at the end of next month. Does everybody here get their cars done at Lexus dealerships or does anyone opt for reputable independent garages? Does it make a huge amount of difference to the resale value if you go independent? If there are decent independents around, please supply recommendations for Yorkshire and the Northwest. I plan on keeping the IS200 for the next 5 years or up till 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Mileage is currently about 10k miles per year, although that might increase a lot once I switch jobs.

I'd also like to upgrade the windscreen wipers. Currently got the OEM ones. I would like to know the size of the wipers I need and which make I should be opting for.
