Here at Lexus of Warwick, we want our customers to be informed drivers. All-season tires and winter tires have specific features that make each one unique, but which one is best for your needs? Let's find out below.

All-season tires offer year-round performance. If you live in an area where there's moderate snow, then all-season tires may be more suitable for your needs. Winter tires are recommended if you live in an area with black ice and heavy snow. Winter tires are made to remain flexible when the temperature drops, which provides you with better grip. 

Icy roadways are dangerous. To prevent sliding, you should always drive slowly and avoid hitting your brakes as much as possible. Also, make sure your tires have a good amount of tread on them before you drive your car in icy conditions.

Lexus of Warwick wants you to be safe on the road this winter. If your car does start to slide, follow these safety tips:

• Don't panic. Your immediate reaction will be to hit your brakes hard, but don't.
• Ease off of the accelerator.
• Focus your eyes on a far-off point in the direction you are headed…

Oil change recommendations come with both a mileage limit and a time limit. You may think that if you haven't exceeded the mileage limit, you don't need to worry about the time limit, but that truly isn't the case.

Oil is vital to your engine's most basic functioning, lubricating essential moving parts and keeping corrosion and damage at bay. 

If you've ever perused new vehicles before, you've likely noticed that each new vehicle is offered with both a bumper-to-bumper and a powertrain warranty. While you may have noticed this fact, you may not know the differences between these two types of warranties.

Not only can we provide you with a multi-point inspection or an oil change, but we can also take a close look at the headlights on your vehicle. This is one part of a vehicle that many people often neglect to have serviced.
