Is Lexus Maintenance Free for Life?
2 Answers
Lexus does not offer free maintenance for life; its free maintenance policy is valid for four years or 100,000 kilometers. Lexus models include the Lexus GS, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Lexus IS, Lexus UX, and others. Taking the 2017 Lexus GS as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4880mm, width 1840mm, height 1455mm, with a wheelbase of 2850mm and a curb weight of 1660kg. The 2017 Lexus GS is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 245PS, a maximum torque of 350Nm, and a maximum power of 180kW, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
As a Lexus owner who just bought a car last year, I discovered they offer free maintenance services, but it's not for life—only for the first four years or up to 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. During this period, I went to the 4S dealership for maintenance, which basically covered oil changes, filter replacements, safety inspections, and other items. It felt worry-free and cost-saving. After that, I’ll have to pay out of pocket, averaging around one to two thousand yuan per year. But the car drives very smoothly, so I recommend clarifying the specific terms when buying to avoid being misled. Additionally, Lexus has good quality control, with few issues even after the maintenance period ends, making it a trustworthy brand.
