Im in Orange County, Ca and I just bought a IS250 it has 58k miles and will need the 60k mile maint. The first quote I got from Lexus for this was $1480. I shopped around a bit and found another dealer to do it for $1080. Is this just ridiculous or is it me? I looked it up under edmunds.com for what the price and maint should be and they said $395. How do I go about not getting ripped off for this service? Im female and I swear they see me coming and raise their prices. Can a regular repair shop do this work? Help!

Check the owners manual for what Lexus recomends. Compare to what Dealer is doing and you will find other services that are not required but are benificial. And yes independent can do but be careful who you choose
