I wouldn't worry bringing it to any competent Indy for an oil change, or any other regularly scheduled service, assuming you're out of warranty.
If you're still under warranty, it may be beneficial to have it done at the dealership if it's anything more than an oil change. Just to prevent any hassle later on (i.e. timing belt replacement). Say it lets go 3200mi down the road and destroys the engine, you'll have a hard time convincing Lexus to cover it under a powertrain warranty.
If you're looking for a diagnosis because you're chasing an electrical gremlin, the dealer's gonna be your best choice, because they'll have direct access to Lexus diag tools (unless you find a an Indy run by a former Lexus tech).
As for recommended shops; there's so many for Toyota/Lexus. There's even a good one right across the road from the Toyota dealership on Stevens Creek, Milpitas Garage in Milpitas, Toyota Lexus Auto Service in Campbell, etc.
If you're in SF: it's worth the drive down, in my experience.
Feel free to DM me and I'd be happy to figure out what's what and direct you to the best possible place.
Reasonable? I dunno. π€·ββοΈ
