Lexus Warranty Options

Lexus provides every new vehicle with a comprehensive package of benefits called “LexusCare.” Eligible CPO and used cars can also obtain extra coverage through a vehicle service contract (VSC) or guaranteed auto protection (GAP). However, availability depends on age and mileage, and the purchase of extended coverage on a used car must be made at the time of sale. A third-party provider like Endurance Warranty can offer breakdown coverage any time during ownership.

Lexus Reliability

Lexus’s commitment to long-lasting performance hasn’t gone unnoticed by industry analysts. The automaker earned the number one spot for vehicle dependability in the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study. Additionally, the automaker was recognized by Consumer Reports as the top brand for used car reliability in 2025 and the second-best brand for new car reliability. Further, models including the Lexus ES, the Lexus NX Plug-in Hybrid model, and the three-row Lexus TX in the 500h F sport have received high predicted reliability ratings from Consumer Reports.

  The combination of luxury and durability has made Lexus an attractive option for drivers wanting the best of both worlds. However, to ensure you choose the best model for your needs, it’s important to consider different Lexus options and their individual features and ratings. Even a luxury midsize car with “excellent” RepairPal reliability ratings, like the Lexus ES300h, needs repairs eventually.

Lexus Maintenance Costs

According to RepairPal, Lexus owners spend about $551 each year on maintenance. Compared to the maintenance expenses of all vehicle models ($652) and luxury midsize cars ($739), maintaining a Lexus is a more budget-friendly option. Lexus owners have also reported fewer “unscheduled repairs,” which means the brand is less likely to face surprise breakdowns. Still, the actual costs can vary based on the specific nameplate and Lexus model year, mileage, and the owner’s level of care for the vehicle.*

  For example, the average yearly cost for repairs and maintenance on a Lexus ES350 is about $468. Compared to other sedans, the ES350 is much more affordable when it comes to ownership costs. On the other hand, the annual maintenance cost for a Lexus RC F, a luxury sports coupe, is $754, which is higher than the average for luxury sedans.

Common Repairs for Lexus Vehicles

Facing a surprise breakdown can set you back hundreds—if not thousands—of dollars when you don’t have the savings or warranty to help cover the expenses. The security you get with a vehicle service contract, like the plans available through Endurance Warranty, can help pay the repair bills and cover the cost of a rental car, saving your bank account and peace of mind.
