60k Service

[Griffter]

Hi all,

Just got off the phone to the service dep. at lexus cardiff and the guy there quoted me around the £1,000 figure for a 60,000 mile service + timing belt + tensioner + idler pulley.

OMG! As if next years tax isn't enough to convince my wife to sell the car!

But seriously is this guy having a laugh? - £1,000 !!!!

Cheers

i had my 120k done recently, which is the same service as the 60k, paid about £320 in total, this was done at a local dealer though rather than a dealer

I am having my cam belt and A service done on both my Lexus this week i been quoted £1000 for both and one is the SC430 so i quiet happy.

You should shop around mine is being done by a independent dealer.

NOt sure how old your cars are, but it may well be worth considering having your waterpumps done whilst your having to cambelts replaced instead of having to pay the labour costs again when your waterpump does eventually go.

Darned good advice, ask Jason_l as his has started to weep a few months after he had the timing belt done .

Luckily I had mine done at the same time.....

As for £1,000 tell him to go poke, Lexus charge about £400 to do a timing belt on an IS200,

the rest of the service should be only £200-£250 IMO (unless something else major needs doing)

so I am thinking go elsewhere as fast as your legs will carry you.
