OTHER BENEFITS AND ASSISTANCE AMENITIES 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 inspections during and after production. The final inspection takes place at the selling dealership and includes a roadtest 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 Agreements If you plan to keep your vehicle for several years or if you accumulate mileage quickly, you may want to purchase a Lexus vehicle service agreement. These agreements cover the cost of specific repairs beyond the factory warranty period. They also cover services such as towing, substitute transportation and lodging to minimize your inconvenience should your vehicle require repair. Lexus vehicle service agreements are available with a variety of coverage options. A Lexus dealership sales consultant can help you select the plan that's best for you. 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 convenience if you relocate or need to have your vehicle serviced while traveling. Body Repairs If you're involved in a collision, you want your vehicle to be returned to its pre-accident condition when repaired. That's why it is important to make sure repairs are made only with Genuine Lexus Parts. Some repair shops and insurance companies may suggest using imitation or salvaged parts to save money. However, these parts do not meet Lexus' high standards for quality, fit and corrosion Other Benefits and Assistance 7
