Manufacturer recall repairs should be performed at a certified franchise dealer to ensure OEM parts and factory-specified repair procedures are used. Nalley Lexus Smyrna is a certified Lexus franchise dealer with factory-trained technicians, OEM diagnostic tools, and direct access to the manufacturer remedy; this ensures the free manufacturer recall remedy is completed correctly and documented. For your safety and for proper warranty & insurance records, we recommend you schedule service with our Lexus-certified team rather than an independent shop.

Does an open recall affect my 2016 Lexus IS 200t's trade-in or resale value?
