Hey everyone - was at the local Lexus shop (not dealer) getting my oil changed on my 2003 Lexus LX470. I have 273K miles and she looks and runs great. As usual the shop has some recommendations, but since I am novice, and the shop is obviously incented for me to spend more, I thought i would ask the experts. here is what they say:
1. Front bearings need to be repacked. See pic. $602 to fix
2. Oil leak in the power steering column. They rate this leak at "8/10" where 10/10 is awful. See pic. $1807 to fix.
3. Front passenger side axle leak - 8/10 again. See pic. $379 to fix
What do you think?
They also said the timing belt should be changed every $90K and I am just over. I know from research before buying the truck this is the most important item and I will do it for sure. They charge $1800 to change: timing belt, water pump, crank seal, thermostat, timing belt idler, oull, tensioner and drive belt
Thoughts?
Thanks everyone! Such a great community!
