3 Signs It’s Time to Visit Our Lexus Service Center

Bringing your vehicle into a Lexus service center for care may feel like just one more thing to remember, but the truth is that there’s no better way to keep your vehicle safe than with regular care and service. It’s important to follow a regular service schedule, but also useful to know how to recognize signs that your car needs service. Get the care that makes the difference at Woodfield Lexus.

Your Fuel Efficiency Drops

If you see a sudden drop in fuel efficiency, it may be time for vehicle service. Fuel efficiency drops can be the result of many different service needs, including oil changes, fluid leaks, or misfiring spark plugs. It’s important to get your vehicle inspected right away, so you know if it needs repairs or replacements.

Your Vehicle Takes Longer to Brake

Your brakes are one of the most important systems within your vehicle, helping to keep your car safe and providing essential driver control. When the brakes start to wear down, it can lead to increased stopping distance and reduced safety. Pay close attention to your brake health, and schedule service when you notice your vehicle takes longer to stop, along with pulling to one side, spongy pedals, and steering wheel vibrations.

You Hear or Smell Something Unusual

It’s also a good idea to pay attention to any unusual smells or sounds coming from your vehicle. For instance, grinding when braking can mean your brake pads are worn down, and the smell of sulfur can indicate a corroded battery. Always pay attention to what your vehicle is telling you, and schedule service if you notice something is amiss.
