Got my IS200 booked in with Lexus Leeds for a diff oil, gearbox oil and brake fluid change tomorrow. Been quoted fixed price of £130 (inc VAT & labour) for the work- is this a fair price? Managed to knock them down from £189.

I did the 130k/13 year service on my IS200 myself yesterday (basically a oil and oil filter change- my car is a 2000 model, but its on 135k now) the mentioned other fluids haven't been changed for a while (and I'm not confident of doing them myself). Toyota Leeds (they share the same workshop as Lexus Leeds wanted over £200 to do the same job???)

What do you guys think?

Do it yourself mate IMHO.

do some reading up and crack on. the hardest is the brake fluid IMHO but any garage could do that

For those interested, got the work done by Lexus Leeds. On the VSR they noted that the rear pads are 90% worn, so I'll be replacing these asap. No other faults found.

Not bad for a 10 year old/135k IS200.

They also washed the car (ok job, not up to my standard though...)
