Good Price For A 70K Service?

[waveydavey]

The car is due for it's annual service, (7 year / 70k this time.... Although the car's only done 63k!!!), this next week or two so thought i'd ring round for a price...

Local Lexus dealership - £209

Local Toyota dealership no.1 - £175

Local Toyota dealership no.2 - £129

I know the previous owner of the car had the 60k service done including cambelt and sparkplugs etc... so am assuming the 60k is the major service and the 70k would be more of an oil / filter change and inspection kind of a service???

So does £129 sound ok for the 70k service on an IS300??? Also this Toyota dealer is the one in the area that is actually bang next door to the Lexus dealer and i'm pretty sure when the wife used to have her IS and took it in to the Lexus dealership for servicing it was always done at this Toyota dealership next door.

Cheers

70k is the minor service, an oil and oil filter change. I'd take it to the 2nd Toyota garage.

Was quoted £496 the other day for a 40k service and £600 for the timing belt change (Pump, Idler, Tensioner)from my Lexus Dealership, at which point i marched straight out! Got all the parts (Genuine) for £350 by the way.

I'll give the £129 Toyota dealership a call then to book the car in.

The guy i spoke to this afternoon to get a price said it would involve the oil & filter change along with a general inspection and clean. As i say they used to do all the work for the Lexus dealership next door in the past and assume they still do so seems daft paying Lexus an extra £80 to have the work done in the same workshop!!!

go with the basic on this one at that mileage. eg oil & filter change plus visual checks.
