What about do-it-yourself maintenance? Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechanical
ability and a few basic automotive tools.

self mechanic, we recommend that repairs and maintenance be conducted by any

authorized Lexus retailer 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 th an an authorized Lexus repairer to ser-
vice or maintain your vehicle, we recommend that you request that a record of main-
tenance be kept.
