Complimentary Check Engine Light Scan & Test

By | Service Specials | No Comments

If your Check Engine Light comes on, bring your vehicle to Wilde Lexus’ service center for a complimentary Check Engine Light Scan & Test. After scanning and testing your vehicle, we will explain the malfunction to you and how to get it fixed.

Your Lexus’ Check Engine Light will trigger any time the computer detects that one or more of the vehicle’s systems are far enough out of their engineered parameters to cause a problem. The monitored systems are not limited to the engine itself; a check engine light can also be triggered by a malfunction in the transmission or emissions system.

The car’s computer keeps a log of all trouble codes encountered, which can be read by plugging a scanner into the diagnostic port (located beneath the steering wheel). There are hundreds of different codes, but a few examples are: P1200 (Fuel Pump Relay/ECU Circuit Malfunction), P1349 (VVT System Malfunction, Bank 1) and P1645 (Body ECU Malfunction).

Lexus NX F SPORT Wins Motor Trend Luxury Compact Crossover Comparison

By | Lexus Cars, Lexus News | No Comments

The Lexus NX 200t F SPORT has taken first place in a Motor Trend compact crossover comparison against the BMW X3 xDrive28i, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, Lincoln MKC 2.0 AWD, and Volvo XC60 T6:

[The NX] comes well-dressed at the lowest as-tested price, with good cost of ownership and high marks for driving experience, cabin and leather quality, ride and handling balance, efficiency, and safety. And as [MT editor Edward] Loh asserted, its “engine sounds great under wide-open throttle, especially in Sport mode.”

Lexus isn’t for everyone. But if you’re hunting for a compact luxury CUV with the most diverse skill set, look no further than the NX 200t.

This is a strong win against competitors, and the full article does a good job at justifying the results. An excellent win for the new Lexus compact crossover.
