My main warranty (engine and transmission) just expired on my RX 350L. I'm planning to keep the car for at least another five years, so I want to make sure I'm setting myself up for good, reliable long-term maintenance without overpaying for the badge.

My immediate need in the next few months is that all four brakes have to be replaced.(All 4 are at 5/32)

Since I'm completely out of warranty now, I'm trying to figure out the most logical route for this brake job and all future services. Does it still make sense to keep going to the Lexus dealership? Should I take it to a Toyota dealership instead, or am I better off finding a reputable independent mechanic? I live in an area where all 3 are not too much of a drive.

Thanks in advance!
