Lexus of Tulsa eNews • 888-207-9812 • http://www.lexusoftulsa.com Exceeding Your Expectations SERVICE by Lexus is the driving force behind an unmatched dealership experience A few months ago, Lexus partnered with trailblazing artist Michael Murphy to create an intriguing 3-D art piece called Letters. The 16-foot installation comprised 2,000 thank-you notes from Lexus drivers, each containing a personal tale of exceptional service. From different viewing angles the suspended remarks collectively shaped either the Lexus logo or a 2018 Lexus LS. This complex, multi-dimensional project (shown below) was an ambitious visual concept for sure, but perhaps what’s most noteworthy about Letters was that neither Lexus nor artist had to worry for one second that gathering 2,000 appreciation letters from Lexus drivers would ever be a challenge. Why? Because over the last three decades, Lexus’ reputation for masterful service has become, without exaggeration, a culturally recognized phenomenon. It stems from an intrinsic Lexus philosophy: carry the commitment of extreme Takumi-driven vehicle craftsmanship into the maintenance expertise, parts quality, dealership amenities, and personal care of the Lexus-ownership experience. As a result, notes of appreciation from Lexus drivers have been the norm since the first LS 400s reached driveways back in 1989. We mention all of this because you may have noticed a new phrase around your Lexus dealership of late: SERVICE by Lexus. It might be displayed around the service area, on a service advisor’s uniform, or even found on the sleeve of a complimentary cup of good coffee, and it’s a reminder that you, as a Lexus owner, have made a decision to be proud of. Not only have you chosen a meticulously crafted vehicle, you’ve also chosen a longstanding service tradition of unrivaled care and unparalleled expertise—a tradition where it’s the norm, not the exception, for Lexus dealership team members to go far beyond a satisfactory job and continually exceed your expectations. And much like the multi-faceted Letters installation, SERVICE by Lexus comes in multiple forms. It may come from a service advisor taking the time to explain things clearly after a maintenance visit, like this Lexus driver’s experience: “I called my Lexus dealership the other day about a new car battery…when I went in, the consultant asked me a number of questions about my driving habits. His explanation was so helpful, and I really learned a lot about how to treat the battery.” It could be from a uniquely hospitable dealership amenity that helps make service visits a pleasurable experience: “ I’m a new Lexus driver and love my dealership’s Lexus Cafe during service visits. Fresh bagels, muffins, and fruit in the morning…plus there are always three kinds of coffee and several assorted tea choices. They even have honey—who has that at a car dealership?” Or it may stem from Lexus service personnel showing an extreme respect for your time: “I hit a large pothole that damaged my tire and called my Lexus service department, which was able to see me right away, then got me back on the road quickly and in time to meet a client appointment .” You’ve got your own tales of extraordinary Lexus service, of course—your stories indicate that the SERVICE by Lexus tradition continues to deliver an exceptional ownership experience. We’d love to hear from you and perhaps tell your story here on the Lexus Drivers site. Simply post your story on the Lexus Facebook or Twitter page with the hashtag #SERVICEbyLexus.

Those drives have certainly put a strain on your vehicle, so to ensure that your car is ready to make the transition from summer to fall you need to perform this end-of-summer maintenance. Tires After spending a season driving long distances and parking in the summer heat, your vehicle’s tires have endured strenuous conditions. To ensure they’re ready for the months ahead, check that each tire is inflated to the proper level and doesn’t show signs of leaks, bulges or cracks. While you’re at it, check the condition of the spare tire. Care Advantage Inc. recommends evaluating if the tires have deep enough traction to safely operate in the winter. Depending on where you live, you might want to consider switching to snow tires before winter arrives. Engine oil Your vehicle’s oil should be flushed and its filter replaced every couple of months, so if you didn’t get an oil change during the summer, it’s time to schedule one. According to Firestone Complete Auto Care, intense weather — including heat — strains your vehicle, so the oil system needs to remain clean and flowing to help the engine run. Wipers Other parts of your car that could’ve sustained damage from the summer heat are the wiper blades. High temperatures and direct sun could’ve cracked the rubber and rendered the wipers less effective. The National Automotive Parts Association recommends replacing the wiper blades every six months — or sooner if they’re damaged. Lights Rarely do you spend time outside your car while it’s running, so it has probably been a while since you’ve seen how well — or poorly — its lights are shining. Grab a partner to help you check the lights to catch any dim or dead bulbs. This includes the headlamps, tail lights, turn signals and emergency lights. To keep lights bright, The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence recommends cleaning the lenses with a wet cloth on a regular basis to remove grime. Clean out Proper maintenance is more than just about what’s under the hood. If you and your family spent a lot of time in the car this summer, the cabin is probably filled with extraneous cargo, trash and dirt. Take time to clean out the piled-up junk, vacuum the interior and freshen up the upholstery. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence recommends also restocking emergency tools at this time, including gloves, blankets, flares, a flashlight, snacks and cables. Vehicle inspection Summer can accelerate the wear and breakdown of a car’s essential systems, including ones you might not obviously recognize. Experts at Firestone Complete Auto Care recommend having professionals evaluate the status of the brakes, the alignment, the belts, the air conditioning, the defroster, the battery (condition and charge) and various fluid levels.
