timzter Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi, does anyone know if it is a mandatory requirement for lease owners of Lexus vehicles to bring the car in for scheduled maintenance (5,000, 15,0000, 30,000, whatever....)? If you don't do the maintenance, will they charge a penalty fee when you return the car at the end of the lease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yes, it is a requirement of the lease to have regular scheduled maintenance done. If you don't do it you could be hit with penalties for being in default of your lease agreement. I do know people who lease cars and never do anything, not even change the oil and have no problems. I personally would never do that because...quite frankly I'm not a jerk. It doesn't cost much to do the scheduled maintenance on these cars as long as you don't have it done at the Lexus dealer. Change the oil every 5k and you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
