So the truck has 67000 miles on it but the battery is way less than 84 months old. I'm wondering the likelyhood that the local Lexus dealership will replace the faulty battery at no charge - even if I didn't buy the car from them?
Any guesses? Thanks! |

I guess not, battery are not covered under warranty. You could try your luck with the dealer

Usually the batteries are pro-rated. As the years go by, you get less of the replacement cost.

I had the case on my RX after 4 years of a new Lexus/Toyota battery: the cost of the battery is prorated (remaining to 7 years) but the cost of the Lexus battery and labor charge nonetheless remaineds above what I would pay to get a new battery elsewhere (which I did).. |
