What about do-it-yourself maintenance?
Many maintenance items are easy to do your self if you have a little mechanical ability and a few basic automotive tools.
Note, however, that some maintenance task s require special tools and skills. These are best performed by qualified technicians. Even if you’re an experienced do-it-your-self mechanic, we recommend that repairs and maintenance be conducted by any
authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes- sional. Any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer will keep a record of maintenance,which could be useful should you ever require Warranty Service. Should you choose
to select a qualified and equipped professional other than an authorized Lexus repairer to service or maintain your vehi cle, we recommend that you request that a
record of maintenance be kept.
