Oh and btw, $20 bucks says, they are going to ask you to replace the brake pads and resurface the rotors after you get there. The fluid should be bled at 30k anyway, but the pads, they really depend on how you drive, you can go down to 1mm with no problem. As for the rotors, if they do resurface, make sure they really do resurface. It should return to a mirror like smooth surface when done. Last time, NJ stealership only did the fronts. In hind sight, unless the pads have been warn down to metal and has grinded the rotors, resurfacing is totally unnecessary.
I would ditch the bearing repack and all that other jazz and just have them bleed the brakes. Get the oil change at Firestone for $20 bucks. Tire rotation, I believe is free, this is worthwhile, since the fronts will wear down faster than the rears.

Maybe you guessed, I've had a traumatic past with NJ Lexus stealerships.
