When you buy a car at DARCARS Lexus of Mt. Kisco, we will speak to you about the optimal frequency of service. Most models need to be inspected once every six months or 5,000 miles, and the first two appointments are free. Read on to find out how frequently you need to come to the Lexus dealer and what happens during a routine car inspection.
Service Schedule
A new Lexus needs to be serviced twice in the first year, but these two inspections are included in the purchase price, so they don’t come at an additional cost. After you’ve had your car for a year, you should come back to the dealership once every six months or 5,000 miles. By keeping up with regular service, you can maintain your car in great condition and prevent any problems with its functionality.
Occasionally, you might have to see your mechanic outside of the scheduled service appointments. If you notice any changes to your Lexus, such as new sounds or smells or a warning light that comes on when you drive, you should book an appointment at your earliest convenience. Your mechanic will diagnose and fix the problem quickly and efficiently. That way, you don’t risk driving an unsafe car.
What Does the Mechanic Do During a Safety Inspection?
During the first appointment, which happens after six months or 5,000 miles, your mechanic will begin by visually inspecting various car parts such as your brake pads, rotors, and calipers. Then, the technician will conduct a road test to make sure everything is in good working order. They will also rotate your tires, top up all fluid levels, and reset the maintenance reminder light.
At the 12-month or 10,000-mile mark, you will once again visit your mechanic for your second free safety inspection. Once again, the technician will examine your car parts, conduct the road safety test, rotate and inflate the tires, and reset the maintenance reminder light. Additionally, they will change your oil and filter.
What Are the Benefits of Getting Your Car Inspected at the Dealership?
If you bought your Lexus from an authorized dealer, the first two safety inspections are free, so it makes no sense to choose another mechanic who will charge you. However, you should continue to bring your vehicle to the dealership even after the first year is up because the technicians working at our service center are trained to service Lexus cars.
They know every model and trim, so they won’t have any trouble diagnosing and fixing issues. What’s more, they always use genuine Lexus parts that don’t void your warranty or reduce the functionality of your car.
Every Lexus owner should see a mechanic for a safety inspection twice a year or every 5,000 miles. Book your service appointment online with us at DARCARS Lexus of Mt. Kisco.
