Lexus ain't saving anybody any money when it comes to service. My wife took her RX330 in for a wash and they noticed it was time for an oil change. $140 later, they hade changed the oil and looked over a few other things. Mercedes charges more than that? Told my wife I'd do it for half that from now on. She was not amused.
When I mentioned to the service write later that that was absurd for an oil change, he mentioned that I was free to bring in my own oil, and not pay their $4.50/quart for dino oil I could get at Walmart for $1.29. Guess Lexus (and new MBs) are targetting a little different level of consumer than me... Gary Thompson 1995 Mercedes E320 2005 Lexus RX330 On 10/24/06, Tom Hargrave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Oh, I have no problem with Mercedes but I have friends & family who have sworn to never buy another because the lowest service (including brakes) they paid was $550.00. I understand that Mercedes does a great job & that regular service is the key but that does not keep them from buying a Lexus the next time around. I'm a great Mercedes fan & will always drive one but Mercedes needs to learn a few lessons from the competition........ Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com 256-656-1924
