You are responsible for ensuring  
that your Lexus is operated and  
maintained according to the  
instructions in the 

Owner’s Manual

 

and the “Maintenance Information” 
section of this guide.

You should keep detailed records  
of vehicle maintenance, since under 
some circumstances they may be 
required for warranty coverage. 
These records should include date  
of service, mileage at time of  
service and a description of service 
performed and/or parts installed.  
For your convenience, maintenance 
logs are included in the “Maintenance 
Information” section of this guide.  
If you sell your vehicle, you should 
give your maintenance records to  
the new owner.

Lexus will not deny a warranty claim 
solely because you do not have 
records to show that you maintained 
your vehicle. However, damage or 
failures caused by lack of proper 
maintenance are not covered under 
warranty.

You may have maintenance  
performed on your vehicle by  
any qualified person or facility. 
However, Lexus recommends having 
maintenance performed by an  
authorized Lexus dealership.

Lexus dealership technicians are  
specially trained to maintain and repair 
Lexus vehicles. They stay current on 
the latest service information through 
Lexus technical bulletins, service  
publications and training courses. 
Many are also certified through the 
Lexus Commitment to Perfection  
Certifica tion Program, which  
requires specialized, state-of-the-art 
training as well as rigorous exams 
through both Lexus and the National 
Institute for Automotive Service 
Excellence.

You can be confident you’re getting 
the best possible service for your 
vehicle when you take it to a Lexus 
dealership. Plus, a Lexus dealership 
will always use Genuine Lexus Parts 
designed specifically for your vehicle.
