IMPLEMENTING
THE 1LG SSC
Car Rental and Service
Loaners
One of the ways we can demonstrate that Lexus cares is by
honoring loaner car requests with the best loaner available for
those customers unable or unwilling to wait for this repair.
{Preferred}
Lexus Customer Convenience System (LCCS)
Officially enrolled LCCS vehicles may be claimed at a rate of
$44.00 per day. (Lexus vehicles only.)
{Preferred}
Lexus Dealer Fleet (Lexus vehicles only)
A rate of $44.00 per day may be claimed if using this option. Be
sure to follow customer supplied insurance guidelines.
Enterprise Rent−A−Car
Recognizing that loaner car capacity may become an issue, Lexus
is continuing special arrangements with Enterprise Rent−A−Car
to supplement the demand. The specially negotiated price
includes a $35.00 per day charge for premium cars and an $11.99
per day rate, plus applicable taxes, for full collision protection
(C.D.W.). The total is $46.99, plus tax, in all 48 contiguous states
except for New York where the rate structure is different due to
state laws covering the sale of a Collision Damage Waiver.
An important feature to this preferred rental arrangement is that
this rate entitles your customers to any available Enterprise
vehicle including luxury vehicles. So please provide them with a
selection of the best available vehicles. Also please employ the
strategy (where practical) that SSC customers receive Lexus

vehicles and Enterprise vehicles are reserved for regular service
customers.
The motivating factor for any of these option s is the customer s
convenience and consideration. Again please provide the best
available vehicle. If extraordinary customer requests are made,
please contact your DOM. In addition, loaner car requests that
exceed one day must carry proper DOM authorization.
Remote Area
Service Plan
Remote is defined as those distances where a customer is 100 or
more miles from the nearest Lexus dealership. Your DOM will
work with you to develop and authorize an action plan.
Guidelines to be used in performing remote repairs are:
•
If the customer is within 100 miles of the nearest Lexus
dealership, the closest Lexus dealership will perform the repair
provided that prior authorization for related expenses has
been approved by the DOM.
•
If the customer is more than 100 miles from the nearest Lexus
dealership, Lexus area associates or, Lexus national
associates may perform the repair. Dealerships may also
make these repairs but only with the authorization of the Area
Coordinator (most likely the F.T.S.).
•
Each situation will be handled on a case−by−case basis.
•
Lexus will only pay for authorized costs that have been
approved by DOM or area offices.
•
Alternatives include pick−up and redelivery of remotely located
vehicles.
The Service Write−Up
Listed below are some general guidelines to use when the
customer arrives at your dealership for the SSC:

Explain that the repair will take about one hour. Inform the
customer that the special services (refueling, car wash) will

If the customer does not have an SSC notice:
Ø Check the VIN against the national Service History File to
see if the vehicle has been previously repaired under this

label.

that the vehicle does not require the Campaign repairs.
Ø If the vehicle is eligible, explain the SSC to the customer;
describe the procedure and the amount of time needed for
the repair.
•
If the customer has an appointment, pull the work order;
otherwise, create a work order reflecting the need to complete
the SSC 1LG repair.
•
Issue the work order to the technician and include job
instructions for the SSC.
