A Brief History of Lexus

Lexus was launched by Toyota in 1989 with a clear mission: to create a luxury brand built on exceptional quality, reliability, and refinement. The original Lexus LS redefined expectations for comfort and build quality, quickly establishing the brand as a serious competitor in the premium car market.

Over the years, Lexus has become a global leader in hybrid technology, combining petrol engines with electric motors to deliver smooth, efficient performance without compromising luxury. Today, Lexus models are known for quiet cabins, advanced safety systems, and long-term durability; qualities we support through expert Lexus services at Elite Garages.

Our Lexus Services

Lexus MOT Testing

All Lexus vehicles over three years old require an annual MOT. Our DVSA-approved testers inspect emissions, brakes, suspension, steering, lights, and safety systems. We’re familiar with Lexus-specific MOT considerations, including hybrid braking systems and suspension wear. Book your Lexus MOT today.

Lexus Repairs & Diagnostics

Modern Lexus vehicles use advanced electronics and sophisticated hybrid systems that require specialist diagnostics. Whether you’re dealing with warning lights, electrical faults, or hybrid system alerts, our diagnostic tools allow for accurate and efficient fault identification. Book a Lexus diagnostics test at your nearest Elite Garages.

Lexus Brake Services

Lexus braking systems are designed for smooth, progressive stopping, especially on hybrid models that use regenerative braking. If you notice unusual noises, vibration, or reduced braking performance, our technicians inspect and replace pads, discs, and fluids using OE-quality parts. Need new brakes for your Lexus? Book a brake repair or brake replacement today.

Lexus Clutch Replacement & Repairs

While many Lexus models use automatic or hybrid transmissions, manual Lexus vehicles can still experience clutch wear over time. We carry out clutch inspections and replacements using components that meet Lexus engineering standards. Visit your nearest Elite branch to book Lexus clutch repairs or a clutch replacement.

Lexus Cambelt / Timing Chain Services

Most Lexus engines are fitted with timing chains rather than cambelts, designed for long service life. However, chains and tensioners can still wear over time. Our technicians inspect and advise on timing system maintenance to prevent costly engine damage. Book a Lexus timing inspection or service.

What happens when a cambelt snaps?

A snapped cambelt while driving can have serious and potentially dangerous consequences for you and your vehicle. Some of these include the following:

  • Complete engine failure
  • Bent or broken valves
  • Damaged pistons
  • Broken camshaft
  • Cylinder head or block damage
  • Loss of power
  • Costly repairs
  • Safety risks

In many cases, a snapped cambelt often results in a total engine rebuild or replacement; both of which can be very expensive and time-consuming. Read this detailed guide to find out more.

Lexus Battery Replacement

Lexus vehicles often feature both a standard 12V battery and a high-voltage hybrid battery. We test and replace 12V batteries as needed and carry out hybrid system health checks using Lexus-compatible diagnostics. Get your Lexus battery tested at Elite Garages or buy a new battery for your Lexus!

Lexus Exhaust & Emissions Checks

A healthy exhaust system is essential for performance and emissions compliance. We inspect for leaks, corrosion, sensor faults, and issues that can affect hybrid or petrol Lexus models.

Tips to Help Prevent Exhaust Damage

Like most car parts, it’s often easier (and cheaper) to prevent exhaust damage than repairing or replacing it. Here are some of the most effective ways you can ensure a healthier Lexus exhaust system and better emissions:

  • Avoid frequent short trips as this prevents the exhaust from reaching a high enough temperature to evaporate condensation. Moisture settles inside the pipe, accelerating rust and internal corrosion.
  • Always take ramps slowly and avoid deep puddles to help reduce risk even more.
  • Keep a close eye on leaks from other components, like oil, coolant, and gearbox
  • Address engine misfires quickly as this allows unburnt fuel to ignite inside the exhaust, overheating and damaging catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, DPFs and silencers.
  • Fix rust before it spreads as it can lead to holes, blowouts and full system replacements

Lexus Air Conditioning Service

Lexus air conditioning systems are designed for quiet, consistent climate control. If cooling performance drops or unpleasant odours develop, our aircon service includes regassing, leak detection, and system sanitisation. Book your Lexus airconditioning regas or service.

Lexus ADAS Calibration

Many Lexus models are equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and collision avoidance. These systems must be recalibrated after windscreen replacement or wheel alignment. Currently, we are only offering ADAS calibration at selected branches, including Fareham, Salisbury, and Southampton, with more ADAS garages on the way. Ready for your ADAS service? Book an ADAS calibration with Elite Garages today.

Lexus Wheel Alignment

Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tyre wear and affect ride comfort which is something Lexus owners are particularly sensitive to. We offer offer two- and four-wheel laser alignment services to restore correct handling and stability. If your  tyres are wearing unevenly, you’ve noticed an increase in fuel consumption and the car just doesn’t “feel right”, book a Lexus wheel alignment service today?

Lexus Tyres

We stock and fit premium tyre brands including Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, and Goodyear, selected to match Lexus ride comfort, noise reduction, and handling characteristics. Visit our tyre brands page for more information, including 4×4 tyres, run-flat tyres, winter tyres, performance tyres and much more.
