Brake Components
Your brake system is made of multiple parts, each one working together and needing separate care to ensure you stop properly. Your brake pedal, when pressed down, will then work to press the pads to the rotor and absorb the kinetic energy to make you stop. There are various brake pad materials available, each one for different economic possibilities as well as your choice of noise level and lifespan. If any of the brake system items are not working properly, this can cause unnecessary strain on other components. This can cause damage that can be costly, so check your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for lifespans and other specifications.
Test and Repairs
When you visit our Service Department, your vehicle’s brakes will be put to the test. First, there will be a visual inspection, to see if there is anything visibly wrong with any of the items. If it passes this test, then we will check the model’s performance. If we view that there is anything wrong with the way it drives, we will proceed to make any changes and repairs necessary. Our technicians are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. If you’re noticing your vehicle is having trouble stopping, or making more noise than usual when the brake pedal is pressed down, you should stop by and let us help you.
Service Department
Lexus of Merrillville not only has a Service Department that will help you, but you can also utilize our Parts Department to order any Lexus components your vehicle may need. We will request them on your behalf so our service technicians can make any repairs necessary. If you weren’t prepared for any maintenance issues that may have snuck up on you, you should visit our service specials site tab. Here, you will find coupons that may help you save a few bucks and still let you get your Lexus into working condition once again!

From the front desk receptionist which was very nice and helpful to the sales representative James Tucker who helped me with purchasing a new vehicle.

“ Talk about a breath of fresh air!! I, like everyone else, am not a fan of the car search process, however, Noelle and Joe at Lexus of Merrillville made this process PLEASANT!!! I got a call from a website inquiry and they played ZERO games! Noelle has been with Lexus for almost 2 decades and it shows in her professionalism, knowledge, and grace! It was a pleasure chatting with her let alone doing business with her. I was confident that she was taking good care of me and being transparent. Speaking of transparency, the business manager Joe S played no games! He knows his stuff! He advocated for what I felt comfortable with but also gave me transparency! He answered my question and made sure I understood the process and wasn’t just signing papers! If you want a seamless process, GO TO LEXUS OF MERRILLVILLE!! ”

“ I am in the process of purchasing an electric vehicle with Lexus of Merrillville. I am waiting for the vehicle to arrive at the dealership. I had to write this review to tell you about the AMAZING experience I had with Douglas Onyekachi! I came in uneducated about the difference between electric vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid vehicles and when I left, I understood things so much better. Douglas made the experience unlike car buying experiences I have had in the past. During the test drive, we talked and laughed like we were old friends. Douglas was patient with me. He made sure I got the exact vehicle I wanted. I am a return Lexus customer. It is really nice to see the service I was accustomed to in the past is still in place! My old salesperson was Mark Lovejoy who I purchased two Lexus vehicles from (Marck unfortunately passed away). Many thanks to Douglas, my new salesperson, for my wonderful buying experience! ”

“ I would like to start by saying this place is amazing from customer service to closing the deal. I came in because I wanted to upgrade my mother's car. Mother's Day is next week, and I wanted to give her her dream car. The sales associate was welcoming from the time I pulled in the lot. The sales associate took the time out and listened to what I wanted to do for my mother. He showed us every car we wanted to see. The crazy part is the very car I wanted my mother to have, I didn't even ask to test drive. But it worked out because it was the very car I drove off the lot in. The GM and finance team where total amazing. I would come back here for every car moving forward. Don't walk, please run here to buy your Lexus. Lexus of Merrillville, you guys rock. Thank you for the GREAT experience. ”

“ This is the 2nd vehicle we have bought from Johnny V. We simply can't say enough good things about this guy he is the best. Very professional and personable. Very knowledgeable about the cars, and had answers to everything we asked. They didn't have the car combo we wanted and he took the time to find it. Other "big" dealers don't/won't offer the service to locate what you need. We then met with Joe to sign the papers, he was helpful without the hard sell. Very professional as well. One last thing... they offered great advice on local pizza! We will be back! Thanks! ”
