Ensuring your vehicle is properly maintained and routinely checked is crucial to a long lifespan. With older models, you’ll need to keep a closer eye on a few more service items. If you own an older Lexus car or SUV, we suggest visiting a Lexus service center to address these three essential items.
1. Filters and Fluids
While we often think of oil changes and getting a new oil filter regularly, the older a model is, the more likely you’ll need to check the other filters and fluids. The filters you might want to replace now include fuel, cabin, air, and oil. Fluids to watch for are engine oil, transmission, brake, coolant/antifreeze, power steering, and windshield wiper fluid.
2. Tires and Brakes
Older cars are the most vulnerable regarding tire tread and wear and tear on the brakes. That’s why it is essential to get these serviced at regular times.
Here at our Lexus tire center, we can check and replace any of these parts. The last thing you’ll ever want is to lose control of your vehicle over something easily replaced.
3. Transmission
This can be the most crucial item to check. There are plenty of moving parts and critical components in your vehicle’s transmission to keep it moving and efficient. We recommend regular transmission checkups. These can include everything from spot checks to full transmission flushes.
