How to Keep Your Lexus Pre-Owned Vehicle in Great Condition

Lexus cars have a reputation for excellence and flawless design, which is why pre-owned Lexus cars in the UAE are so desirable. However, if you want to get the best from your Lexus and retain its resale value, the most important thing is to keep your Lexus pre-owned vehicle in great condition. Here are a few ways to do that, courtesy of the experts at Al-Futtaim Lexus.

Regular services

Just because the manufacturer’s warranty has run out does not mean that you can forgo regular servicing. In fact, with pre-owned cars, it’s even more important to keep up with your services to stop any ‘wear and tear’ in the engine from becoming a major issue. As your mileage goes up, parts of the engine will start to need a little care and attention, and possibly replacement.

At Al-Futtaim Lexus, we offer a complete package of services, including minor, interim and major service packages for pre-owned cars. And thanks to our unique Lexus Service database, you can have your vehicle serviced at any Lexus dealer in the UAE, knowing that the technician has instant access to your vehicle’s complete service history. This allows them to personalise your servicing needs, which could save you time and money.

Keep it cool

The sun’s UV rays can do serious damage to your paintwork and interior over time, so it’s always wise to park your vehicle in a shady spot or cool location such as an underground car park or garage. 3M window tinting can help to protect your interiors from sunlight, while a paint protection film can look after your paintwork. PPF is a transparent adhesive-coated film with self-healing properties that protects your exterior not just from harsh sunlight but also from scratches and chipping.

To keep your interior smelling fresh and clean, an AC service and gas top-up will keep the air conditioning working correctly and prevent that unpleasant musty smell from permeating into fabrics and upholstery.

Detailing and polishing

Regular deep cleaning both inside and out will keep your pre-owned Lexus looking its best. At Al-Futtaim Lexus, our detailing team goes over every inch of your car with a fine-toothed comb, ensuring every part of the interior and exterior are meticulously cleaned and polished.

If you want to give your Lexus that showroom finish, our new Paint Protection Coating is the answer. This high-tech solution forms a highly-resilient transparent layer that offers a high level of protection against pollutants, UV rays, acid rain and dust and gives your Lexus a high-gloss finish. Specialist stain-resistant barriers can be applied to your car’s upholstery to keep it looking refined and elegant inside, too.

Paintless repairs

Every car picks up a few scratches and scrapes in its lifetime, but a dent in a panel doesn’t always mean an expensive repair job. At Al-Futtaim Lexus, we offer SMART repairs, which stands for Small to Medium Area fast Repair Technology. Our skilled technicians can repair and get rid of cosmetic damage in small areas using specialist tools. Not only does this mean that you don’t have to pay for a costly respray, but SMART repairs don’t appear on your car’s history as ‘crash damage’ that could reduce the value of your pre-owned Lexus.
