Lexus Extended Care – The Peace-of-Mind Play

Owning a luxury car or SUV from Lexus has its obvious merits: top-grade materials inside, high-quality on-board infotainment, powerful engines and advanced fuel-efficient hybrid powertrains, exquisite styling and exterior colour choices. These are features you’ve always dreamt of, and they have always been big draws for the brand.

Of course, while styling and performance are what everyone sees, let’s not forget what’s going on behind the scenes – the service warranty support that keeps your Lexus (and you!) rolling, rolling, rolling.

Your Lexus warranty comes in two flavours: Gold and Platinum. The Gold plan offers powertrain coverage on all front-wheel drive, all-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive cars for your engine, transmission, seals, gaskets, fluids and filters. On the comprehensive side, you get coverage for your electrical system, bodywork, emission controls, high tech components, steering, air conditioning, safety restraints and more.

If you happen to opt for a Lexus hybrid, the comprehensive portion of the warranty covers the hybrid componentry.

If you’re looking for even more peace-of-mind, however, the Platinum plan offers everything the Gold plan does, with extended coverage for components such as your computers and navigation system, coil springs, dashboard gauges, brake pedal and parking brake assemblies, timing chain and more. The Platinum plan also offers a three year/48,000 km maintenance program, while the Gold plan covers you for two years/32,000 km.

If you plan on undertaking the odd road trip, then ECP is for you. With ECP, you get trip coverage if a covered component fails and you’re more than 80 km from home, unlimited roadside assistance km, travel planning assistance that includes trip log, notable attractions and Lexus dealerships along your route and if worst comes to worst, your ECP also includes vehicle rental reimbursement of up to $60/day for five days, as well as a Lexus loaner car in certain conditions.

So enjoy the way your Lexus drives and coddles on the day-to-day grind, but let the great ECP program provide peace-of-mind all the time!
