I bought my '04 Denali XL from a Lexus dealer in Charlotte NC (Hendrick Lexus). The place was very impressive, almost like a day-spa. To be honest, I found it a little overdone...but then I'm pretty old-fashioned about such stuff and I bet most people would love it. Heh heh, they seemed downright disappointed that I only wanted a bottle of plain water and didn't want anything to eat. I gotta say that if how they treated me (an out-of-town used non-Lexus truck buyer that they'll never see again) is any indication of their overall operation (and other Lexus dealers), then they're really doing things well.

I don't have any problem with that method of doing oil changes, I'd just want some way of doing an actual check of the oil level rather than trusting the electronic dipstick. I'm an analog guy in an increasingly digital world
