I couldn't agree more with you Phil, a full-blown service is in my view simply not necessary, and I have to say my Lexus dealer agreed with me. In theory, and according to age, it should have had a 60K service with just under 11k on the clock! Last time around we agreed an intermediate service, especially so because it had a full service at something like 5K miles followed by 2 intermediate services. In reality, it has had 6 oil changes over 11k miles, new filter each time, new air filters twice etc. I'll make a judgement call come July this year, but this car has had far more services than is necessary.
