Lexus Warranty + MOT fail cover

[richard-]

Hi,

Can someone advise on the following.

My CT has failed its MOT on both The alloys being buckled (badly distorted). The car is serviced at Lexus/MOT’d regularly at Lexus as required.

I read that the warranty now MOT failures during MOT tests / just pay first £10. But it is not clear and there are no terms on what is covered. The price for 2 alloys is £850!

Can anyone help clarify please.

Thank you

Hi Rich

 

Have you checked out breakers yards or dismantlers for replacement  alloys? Car Transplants in Nantwich are good.. £850 is a lot of money!

aren't there specialist businesses refurbishing these things !

Or get them repaired which is probably the best and cheapest option -I know you are in Leicester but' Reinventing the wheel in Tewkesbury' does  all the work for our local Lexus Dealer . They did a goodwill refurb paid for by Lexus on the Diamond cut wheels on my last RX450H

This is what they say about damaged wheels'  Wheel Straightening Service
Out of shape wheels will not only destroy your tyres but the vibrations can cause serious damage to both the steering and suspension components of your vehicle. In their worst form they will not hold air or lose air rapidly. We use safe and effective wheel straightening techniques to return misshapen wheels to a state that they can be successfully balanced, normally the same day.'

Hi Malc

 

 yes there are.. I used a place near Blackpool years ago so I am sure there will be local alloy refurbisher near to Rich for what he needs

Thanks for the replies.

I have managed to get them to lower the price, is it worth asking them for the alloys to see if I can get them repaired or scrap them for some value. They are both buckled on the inside of the rims. 

I will also try and write to head office, as it seems the Lexus alloys bend pretty easy from research. I’m also based in Hampshire.
