They have a small disclaimer if you went to their site...

"These schedules are recommended by Lexus and Toyota and are specially designed to meet the demands of Bay Area Traffic. These scheduled services include services in addition of those recommended by the manufacturer and may not be required to maintain the factory warranty. In most instances, these schedules below meets and or exceeds the manufacturer's recommendations."

The way I see it, I just tell them what I want and what needs to be done. For sure, some of the stuff are DIYs.

As for non-DIY people, the service schedule "meets and or exceeds the manufacturer's recommendations" which gives those people a peace of mind.

Finally, my main concern is the cost of the service. I learned that dealer service literally suck the money out of your wallet with efficiency. One of my option besides DIY is with these guys (Japanese Beetle) in the Bay Area.

The Toyota dealers in my area mail out coupons that show fairly good savings. I DIY most of my maintenence, but for those that don't, these coupons could be a way to go in getting Toyota dealer maintenence at very competitive prices, and since it is Toyota doing the service, it is probably done right.
