At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick in Frederick, CO, our technicians first perform a full diagnostic scan, explain the detected trouble codes in plain language, and then recommend OEM repairs when needed. Resetting the light is simple after repair, but doing so at a certified dealership ensures the repair is properly documented, retains warranty eligibility, and uses parts specified for Lexus performance. We pride ourselves on transparency—our advisors outline costs and the immediate versus future savings of fixing the root cause rather than temporarily clearing codes.
