Where to go for service?
Lexus technicians are well–trained specialists and are
kept up to date with the latest service information
through technical bulletins, service tips, and
in–dealership training programs. They are well informed
about the operation of all the systems on your vehicle.
You can be confident that your Lexus dealer's service
department performs the best job to meet the
maintenance requirements of your vehicle.
Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required
maintenance has been performed for warranty
coverage. And if any problems should arise with your
vehicle while under warranty, your Lexus dealer will
promptly take care of it. Again, be sure to keep a copy
of the repair order for any service performed on your
Lexus.
What about do–it–yourself maintenance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself,
if you have a little mechanical ability and a few basic
automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to perform
them are presented in Section 6.
If you are a skilled do–it–yourself mechanic, the Lexus
service manuals are recommended. Please be aware
that do–it–yourself maintenance can affect your
warranty coverage. See your "Owner 's Guide",
"Owner's Manual Supplement" or "Warranty Booklet" for
the details.
