trans Lexus ES350 2008 Scheduled Maintenace Guide

Loaner Vehicle
If your vehicle must be kept overnight
at a Lexus dealership for a warranty-
covered condition that requires more
than eight hours to repair, Lexus will
provide you with a complimentary
loaner vehicle for up to five days.
Travel Protection
Lexus will reimburse for a rental car
for up to five days and for overnight
lodging for up to three nights (not to
exceed $200 per night) if all of the
following occur: • Your vehicle becomes inopera-
ble or unsafe to drive when you
are more than 100 miles from
home.
• Your vehicle’s malfunction is
caused by a warranty-covered
condition.
• Repairs will take longer than
eight hours to complete.
To obtain reimbursement for rental
car and lodging expenses, contact a
Lexus dealership service consultant.
Roadside Assistance
Lexus roadside assistance coverage
is for 48 months from your vehicle’s
in-service date, regardless of mileage.
Coverage is provided 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, for vehicles operated
in the United States, U.S. territories
and Canada. Assistance is adminis-
tered through the American
Automobile Association.

tery jump-start, tire change and

Quality Control
You may have noticed a few miles on
the odometer when you took delivery
of your Lexus. This mileage is a result
of the comprehensive process used to
ensure the quality of your vehicle. This
process includes extensive inspec-
tions during and after production. The
final inspection takes place at the sell-
ing dealership and includes a road-
test conducted by a trained Lexus
technician.
If you’d like to know more about
Lexus quality-control procedures, ask
a Lexus dealership service consultant.
Vehicle Service History
When you have your vehicle serviced
at a Lexus dealership, your service
information is recorded in the Lexus
National Service History database.
This is the first database of its kind in
the automotive industry. It can be accessed by any Lexus dealership in
the United States — a great conven-
ience if you relocate or need to have
your vehicle serviced while traveling.
Vehicle Service Agreements
If you plan to keep your vehicle for
several years or if you accumulate
mileage quickly, you may want to pur-
chase a Lexus vehicle service agree-
ment. These agreements cover the
cost of specific repairs beyond the
factory warranty period. They also
cover services such as towing, substi-
tute transportation and lodging to
minimize your inconvenience should
your vehicle require repair. Lexus
vehicle service agreements are avail-
able with a variety of coverage
options. A Lexus dealership sales
consultant can help you select the
plan that’s best for you.
