Prepare Your Lexus for Summer Travel near Alexandria, VA

Are you planning on taking your Lexus for a road trip this summer? Then it’s best to have it serviced beforehand. Luckily, there is a Service Department nearby that can help! Come to Pohanka Lexus for professional assistance with your automobile.

Windshield Wiper Check

No matter where you go, summer weather brings a great deal of variance. For that reason, it’s best to be prepared for precipitation by having a fresh set of windshield wipers. These blades should be replaced about once a year, but it can depend on how much you use them. If it has been a while since you got new ones for your IS 350 or NX 350, then visit us for an inspection. We can briefly look at them to determine if they will last you the entire season. If they need to be swapped out, our Parts Department can supply you with genuine Lexus components so that they expertly fit your vehicle. 

Tire Inspection

If you are driving down Patrick Street and notice any loss of traction on the road, then you should drop by our dealership for a tire inspection. Since these components are responsible for keeping you firmly planted on the pavement, it is important that you take good care of them. When you visit our Service Department, we’ll perform some tests to determine the tread depth of each part. If they are dangerously low, we’ll suggest replacing them. However, if certain ones are just a bit more damaged than others, a tire rotation may be all you need. These should be performed approximately every 5,000 miles, so drop by today!

Battery Test

While winter can be hard on automotive batteries, the heat of summer can be just as detrimental. The power supply that lies under the hood is what gets your engine started for your morning trips around Alexandria. If it is too low on energy, you won’t even be able to get going! If you have noticed flickering lights in the cabin of your ES 250 or are unable to ignite the powertrain, then come visit our team for a test. We’ll get a read on how much juice it has left, as well as its ability to retain energy. If you need a new one, we can handle the installation and disposal process for you. Otherwise, we’re able to charge it back up for your journey to Jones Point Park!
