What are you Really Getting out of a Scheduled Maintenance Service?

Whether it be  a 5k, 10k, 15k  all the way to your  100k.  The service quality and expectation are universal. With any scheduled maintenance you can expect:

  • Multi-point inspection
  • Check and top off  all fluids
  • Replace oil & filter
  • Inspection of brakes and brake pads
  • Rotate  Tires  &  Check Air Pressure
  • Hand wash & vacuum
As with any thing that ages, things tend to need more TLC.  See with each service interval your car is getting that TLC that it needs to be a product of longevity.

Open Recall's--Regain Your Peace of Mind


While in ownership of an amazing car that you love, no one wants to hear  that there may  be problems with it. While having a recall is not necessarily an all around awful thing, yes it means that you have to take the time to get it fixed but on the other hand it means that car companies are continually  checking their cars to ensure safety for their consumers.  Not every  recall will affect your  car, but it is good to know the facts.  It is our promise that you will be notified  if your car is directly affected by the recall. Below you will find helpful links to the various recalls.

The Wonderful World of Bluetooth Pairing!

With the new law in affect having the bluetooth handsfree in your car is an amazing asset to any  driver.  But what happens if you don't know how to use it? What good is it than?  Bringing it into the dealership just seems like a hassle? Here is a little step by step that can hopefully remedy any situation(if it doesn't you can always  swing on in to our dealership, we would be happy to help).

1.  Make sure the Bluetooth feature is active on your phone and it is ready to pair with a new device. This is usually found under the "Settings" or "Network" menu on your phone.
2. Turn on your Lexus' stereo/navigation system and touch the "I" on the screen. This will take you to the information window.
3.  Choose the telephone icon.
4. Touch "Settings" on the screen. Then choose "Bluetooth."
5. Touch "Register" on the screen. Your car's Bluetooth system will begin sending out a pairing signal that will be recognized by your phone.
6. Enter your vehicle's passkey. Check your owner's manual if you don't know the code for your Lexus. Once you provide the passkey, you will be able to use your phone hands-free while driving.
***If this is the first phone you are pairing with your Lexus, your navigational system may immediately ask you if you want to pair a phone with your system, allowing you to skip Steps 4 and 5.
