Key considerations for Lexus owners
ADAS calibration
Many Lexus vehicles use cameras and sensors mounted near or behind the windshield. Replacing the windshield can affect these systems, so calibration is commonly required to restore full functionality and accuracy. Safelite offers calibration services when needed, but confirm with the local shop about your specific model.
Warranty and claims
Safelite typically provides a workmanship and materials warranty on replacements, and can coordinate with your insurance for claims. Warranty terms can vary by location and glass option, so check the particulars with the technician when scheduling.
Summary
Safelite provides windshield replacement services for Lexus vehicles, with options for glass type, mobile service, insurance processing, and ADAS calibration where required. Availability, glass choices, and calibration requirements depend on the specific Lexus model and location, so it’s wise to verify details with a local Safelite shop before scheduling.
