Frequently Asked Questions


How often should I service my Lexus?

The recommended service interval for a Lexus vehicle can vary depending on the year, make, and model of the vehicle as well as the type of driving conditions it experiences. As a general rule, however, Lexus vehicles should be serviced every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. This service interval may include oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and other routine maintenance tasks. It's important to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended service schedule and to follow it closely to ensure the longevity and reliability of your vehicle. Additionally, if you notice any unusual sounds, smells, or behaviors from your vehicle, you should have it inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to prevent potential problems from becoming more serious.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for my Lexus?

It's important to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule, as it may vary depending on the specific model and year of your Lexus vehicle. Following the recommended maintenance schedule can help ensure the longevity and reliability of your vehicle.

How do I know if my Lexus needs a tune-up?

In modern vehicles, the term "tune-up" has become somewhat outdated, as most of the routine maintenance tasks that were traditionally performed during a tune-up are now performed as part of the vehicle's regular maintenance schedule. However, there are still some signs that may indicate that your Lexus vehicle needs attention from a qualified mechanic. These signs include:

  1. Poor fuel economy: If you notice that your vehicle is using more fuel than usual, it may be an indication that the engine is not operating at peak efficiency, which could be caused by a variety of issues that may require attention.
  2. Rough idling: If your vehicle's engine is running rough when it is idling, it may be an indication of a problem with the engine's ignition system, fuel system, or emissions system.
  3. Decreased acceleration: If your vehicle is slower to respond or has a reduced acceleration compared to what you are used to, it may be an indication that the engine is not running at its best.
  4. Check engine light: If the check engine light on your dashboard comes on, it is a sign that the vehicle's onboard computer has detected an issue with the engine, emissions system, or other related components.

If you notice any of these signs or other unusual sounds, smells, or behaviors from your vehicle, it is recommended to have it inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine if there is an underlying problem that requires attention.

What are some common problems with Lexus vehicles?

Lexus vehicles are generally known for their reliability and quality, but like any other vehicle, they may experience some common problems over time. Some common problems reported by Lexus owners include:

  1. Engine oil leaks: Some Lexus models have been known to develop oil leaks, which can cause a loss of oil pressure and engine damage if not addressed.
  2. Transmission issues: Some Lexus models have been reported to experience transmission problems, including rough shifting or slipping.
  3. Brake issues: Some Lexus models have had issues with premature brake wear or brake noise.
  4. Electrical problems: Some Lexus models have been known to experience issues with the electrical system, including problems with the alternator, battery, or wiring.
  5. Suspension problems: Some Lexus models have been reported to have suspension issues, including excessive tire wear, alignment problems, or noisy shocks.
  6. Dashboard cracking: Some Lexus models have had issues with the dashboard cracking or becoming sticky over time.

It's important to note that not all Lexus models are affected by these issues, and some models may have different or no reported problems. Additionally, proper maintenance and timely repairs can help prevent or mitigate many of these issues. If you notice any unusual sounds, smells, or behaviors from your Lexus vehicle, it's recommended to have it inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to prevent potential problems from becoming more serious.

How much does it cost to repair a Lexus?

The cost to repair a Lexus can vary depending on several factors, such as the year, model, and condition of the vehicle, as well as the specific type of repair needed. Some common repairs and their estimated costs include:

  1. Oil change: $50-$100
  2. Brake pad replacement: $150-$300 per axle
  3. Battery replacement: $150-$300
  4. Alternator replacement: $500-$1,000
  5. Suspension repair: $500-$2,000 or more, depending on the severity of the problem
  6. Engine repair: $1,000-$5,000 or more, depending on the extent of the damage

Additionally, regular maintenance can help prevent the need for more costly repairs down the line. It's recommended to have your Lexus vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic for an accurate estimate of repair costs.

How do I find a reliable mechanic for my Lexus?

Finding a reliable mechanic for your Lexus can be a daunting task, but there are several steps you can take to ensure that you find a qualified and trustworthy professional:

  1. Look for a mechanic who specializes in Lexus vehicles. Lexus is a luxury brand with its own set of unique features, so it's important to find a mechanic who has experience working with these types of vehicles.
  2. Ask for recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues who own Lexus vehicles. Personal recommendations can be valuable in finding a trustworthy mechanic.
  3. Check online reviews of local mechanics who specialize in Lexus repair. Online review sites such as Yelp, Google Reviews, or Angie's List can provide insight into the quality of service provided by a particular mechanic.
  4. Look for certifications and professional affiliations. Mechanics who are certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) or who belong to industry organizations such as the Automotive Service Association (ASA) may be more likely to provide high-quality service.
  5. Ask for a written estimate and warranty. A reputable mechanic should be willing to provide a written estimate for any work to be done, as well as a warranty for their services.
  6. Visit the mechanic's shop and ask questions. Visiting the mechanic's shop can provide insight into their level of professionalism and the quality of their facilities. Don't be afraid to ask questions about their experience, qualifications, and the specific services they offer.

By taking these steps, you can find a reliable mechanic who can help keep your Lexus running smoothly and reliably.

Can I take my Lexus to any mechanic for repairs or should I take it to a dealership?

You can take your Lexus to any qualified mechanic for repairs, but taking it to a Lexus dealership may have some advantages.

Lexus dealerships have specialized training, tools, and access to proprietary information that may not be available to independent mechanics. Additionally, dealerships may be more likely to use genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts, which can ensure the best fit and function for your vehicle.

However, taking your vehicle to a dealership for repairs may be more expensive than going to an independent mechanic, and independent mechanics who specialize in Lexus vehicles may also have the necessary knowledge and experience to provide high-quality service.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to take your Lexus to a dealership or an independent mechanic depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you're looking for the highest level of expertise and quality, a dealership may be the best choice. If you're looking for a more affordable option, an independent mechanic may be the way to go.

What type of oil should I use in my Lexus?

The type of oil recommended for your Lexus can vary depending on the year, make, and model of your vehicle, as well as the specific engine type. However, in general, Lexus recommends using synthetic motor oil that meets the API (American Petroleum Institute) SN, SM, or SL specifications, and is labeled with the ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee) GF-5 standard.

Synthetic motor oil is formulated to provide better engine protection, fuel efficiency, and performance than conventional oil, and is particularly beneficial for high-performance or turbocharged engines. It's also important to follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change interval, which can vary depending on the vehicle and driving conditions.

It's recommended to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended oil type and change interval, as well as any other specific recommendations for your vehicle. Using the recommended oil type and following the recommended change interval can help ensure the longevity and reliability of your Lexus engine.

How long can I expect my Lexus to last with proper maintenance and repairs?

With proper maintenance and repairs, a Lexus vehicle can last for many years and miles. The exact lifespan of a Lexus can vary depending on several factors, such as the year, make, and model of the vehicle, driving conditions, and maintenance history.

Lexus vehicles are known for their reliability and durability, and many owners report driving their vehicles for well over 200,000 miles with proper care. Regular maintenance tasks such as oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and other routine tasks can help prolong the life of your Lexus engine and other components.

Additionally, addressing any repairs promptly and using high-quality parts can help prevent more serious problems from developing down the line. Ultimately, the lifespan of your Lexus vehicle depends on how well it is maintained, how it is driven, and the specific conditions it experiences over its lifetime.

Is it safe to drive my Lexus if the check engine light is on?

If the check engine light is on in your Lexus, it's generally not safe to continue driving the vehicle without addressing the underlying problem. The check engine light is an indicator that the vehicle's onboard computer has detected a problem with the engine, emissions system, or other related components.

Continuing to drive the vehicle with the check engine light on can potentially cause further damage to the engine or emissions system, leading to more costly repairs down the line. Additionally, driving with the check engine light on may cause your vehicle to fail an emissions test or inspection, depending on your state's requirements.

If the check engine light comes on in your Lexus, it's recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to determine the cause of the problem and to address it promptly. In some cases, the problem may be relatively minor and easy to fix, while in other cases, it may require more extensive repairs.
