At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to rapidly identify whether the issue is ignition, fuel delivery, or a sensor. Immediate attention often prevents a small, inexpensive repair from becoming a major expense—an important immediate and long-term savings advantage of dealership service. We back repairs with dealership warranties and use genuine Lexus parts to preserve performance and resale value. Take advantage of current service specials and our service financing to get safe, timely repairs without delay.
