Spring Clean Your Lexus near Deerfield, IL

If it’s been a while since you thoroughly sanitized the vehicle in your possession, what better time to do it than with the turn of the season? Hopefully you will be taking your ride out for more weekend cruises in the warmer months, which means it will need to be fresh and ready. These tips and tricks will help you get there! Here’s our list of recommendations for how to spring clean your Lexus, from Lexus of Highland Park.
Exterior
The first step in cleaning up your car is to tend to its exterior. While you can take it to a car wash, you can also easily scrub it down at home with just a few simple materials. Gather together a hose, bucket, soap, sponges, and towels, and you can get to work. We suggest polishing from top to bottom with a sponge and soapy water, so that all the dirt washes down onto the ground. Make sure to get into all the crevices on the exterior of your model. After you’ve completely scrubbed your car down, rinse it off with the hose, making sure that the pressure isn’t set too high on the nozzle. Then, we suggest wiping the entire exterior shell down with microfiber towels away from direct sunlight to reduce spotting and get an even shine all over. To go one step further and protect the exterior of your car from exposure, our team suggests sealing in your work with a wax!
Interior
Next, you’ll want to sanitize the interior. The first step is to take out any items or trash laying around so that you can work with an empty slate. The interior can be split into four groups—surfaces, windows, seating, and floor. Any surfaces such as your dashboard or storage trays can be wiped down with the same aforementioned microfiber towels in a soap and water solution. This will eliminate germs and dust. Your windows and mirrors require the same towels with any automobile-specific glass cleaner to get rid of any grime that may cloud your vision. As for your seating, there are two paths. If you have leather chairs, then a conditioner or gentle oil is best to eliminate stains and improve its scent. However, if you have cloth trim, then an upholstery cleaner and a vacuum are your best bet. Finally, a vacuum can be used to remove any crumbs or dirt from any carpeting while your floor mats can be hosed down with soap and water.
Other Recommendations
Once you complete your big spring cleaning session, there are a few other recommendations that can keep your vehicle immaculate year-round. First, we suggest going back every month for a small sanitization, just so that your car maintains a continuous level of freshness. It is also a good idea to keep several items on hand in your cabin, such as a trash can, paper towels, wet wipes, and hand sanitizer. This will keep everyone that’s riding along germ-free, while also giving you the materials you need to wipe up little spills if they should ever occur while you’re on the road. Lastly, our Service Department offers Cilajet Anti-Microbial spray protection. This light solution coats your cabin and kills 99.9% of bacteria and germs, while staying completely harmless to people and pets. Ask our team about it today!

Testimonials
“ Ty Lexus of HP. I was a last minute call for a maintance appt and they fit me right in and got me out earlier than expected. Ty to Patrick and the entire service team. ”
“ Five stars! Just visited Lexus of Highland Park —absolute pros! The team was super helpful, genuinely pleasant, and made the whole experience a breeze. Highly recommend! ”
“ I recently purchased a vehicle from Lexus of Highland Park and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience, which felt personalized and pressure-free from start to finish. This high level of service is entirely due to the professional and patient team there. My consultant, was outstanding. He was incredibly attentive, patient, and professional, demonstrating deep knowledge of the cars we discussed. He truly listened to my needs and helped me make the best decision for my situation. The care didn't stop at the sale; my consultant took the time to personally walk me through the digital features and ensured I was fully set up before leaving the lot. I also had a seamless experience with the Business Manager. The business manager was personable and highly patient, handling the transaction with care and clarity. I appreciated that I never felt rushed or treated like "just another customer." The team respects the buyer's process—they didn't push for a quick sale, but rather waited for me to make a decision and ensured I understood every feature and term involved. The overall atmosphere suggested a strong, collaborative work environment, which directly translated into the exceptional customer service I received. I am very satisfied with my purchase and truly grateful for the special attention and guidance from this team. I highly recommend this dealership. ”
“ Quick and friendly service. The team is very attentive. ”
“ This 5 star review goes to Stanley Catothers and his Service Team. Always a great service team to deal with (I'm on my 3rd Lexus) but Stanley went above and beyond for me this time. Customer service like no other. THANK YOU!!!! ”
“ Lexus of Highland Park is the only place I will go to service my Lexus. Great customer service every single time! ”
“ Today we are giving five stars because of Patrick (think he's one of the technicians). The battery on my mom's 1.5 year old (15k mi) car died inexplicably. We asked why and some mouthy service guy blamed it on inaccurate assumptions about my mom's driving habits (pro tip: some people are just incompetent and agist, ask for someone besides Dino), but Patrick saved the day!! He took the time to understand the situation, think through the facts, politely ask clarifying questions, and ultimately suss out the cause of the problem. Thanks Patrick!!! Hey Dino: turns out, if you store your key fob too close to your car, over time it kills the car and the fob batteries. You will also have to look up "Faraday cage," because the solution is to store your key in one. In the future, if you don't know something, have some humility and just say so. Don't make something up and blame my mom - that just makes you a jerk. ”
“ Lexus of Highland Park stands as my preferred Lexus dealership. Despite visiting several locations, I must assert that this particular establishment surpasses all others in my opinion. Although I reside closer to another Lexus dealership, I make the effort to travel further solely to experience the exceptional customer service provided by Lexus of Highland Park. Upon arrival, I am greeted with a warm smile. My service advisor, Ryan, consistently remembers my name during each visit. He maintains a professional and courteous demeanor. On a few occasions, I have encountered other service advisors, and they were equally competent, along with the service manager, Stanley. The team at Lexus of Highland Park is exceptional and will undoubtedly remain my top choice for vehicle servicing. ”
“ Dana Anderson is a treasure to the car-buying world. Her title of "Master Certified Lexus Consultant" is spot on. Far and away the best experience I've had in 30 years of car buying. She answered my mirriad of questions, found the exact car I wanted (and brought it in from out of state!), and did all the paperwork digitally so the car pickup was fast and efficient. If you're in the market for a car, I highly recommend Dana at Lexus of Highland Park. ”
“ Another excellent experience with the service department. I have been servicing our 2 Lexus vehicles there for over 20 years and the quality of service has remained top notch. At my most recent visit Patrick Henning was my service adviser and he provided exceptional service and guidance throughout the process. ”
“ I took my “new” pre-owned Lexus to Lexus of Highland Park for a duplicate key fob. I was treated wonderfully by Ryan. The work was done quickly and for less money than I expected. Also the service area is spotless with a comfortable waiting area. I will definitely return when I need service in the future. ”
“ Very Good service. Ryan was extremely helpful. I would recommend Lexus Highlander Park ”
“ I am a longtime customer of Lexus of Highland Park. That is due, in no small part, to the great service that I have always received from its Service Department. I recently had my 2019 ES 350 in for routine service. After rotating my tires, a tire pressure sensor was not working, so I needed to bring the car back the next day. My Service Advisor, Arvin, together with his colleagues, discovered that I could have all 4 sensors replaced at no cost to me. In addition, Arvin was able to get me a loaner for both days that my car was in the shop. All in all, really great work! ”
“ My experience at Highland Park Lexus exceed my expectations! Very professional and seamless check in and check out! ”
“ Lexus of Highland Park is top notch. They treat you well and with respect. Patrick the service advisor who helped me is super sharp, straight to the point and doesn’t waste time. Best Lexus I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend! ”
“ Highland Park Lexus as always provides outstanding customer service in its service department. Shout out to both Ryan and Ray for always being so helpful. ”
“ The service department is full of A+ humans… I cannot speak highly enough of the crew at Lexus HP, who went out of their way to put the customer first. We had an issue with our GX550 & they jumped to assist. Stanley is a legend…you’re going to leave much better than you came if you’re bringing your car in for service or bodywork. ”
“ Three years ago I purchased my Lexus xn 350 in here. I came here for maintenance oil change few times they do quickly sometimes they were very happy drops off my car at my work with smiling….in few weeks i got hit on the back … they fix for me so pretty i can tell . My insurance paid gor total cheap . Thank you ”
“ Highland Park Lexus are highly recommended for their professional service I personally have had quality care for my vehicles over the years and I've enjoyed the customer service that I received from Ryan , Patrick and Ray. ”
“ I took my Lexus for my 2-year service appointment, which was my first paid service since the first 3 are free if you purchase your car there. I was fairly hesitant to get the service there since it’s more expensive than taking it to a neighborhood shop or something, but the service provided by Arvin was superior. When I was checking in with him I had some questions and let him know about some additional concerns I had about my car. Arvin was very kind and patient with me the whole time. He actually genuinely seemed more than happy to help. When I mentioned I was hesitant about continuing to bring my car for the future service appointments, he did encourage me to continue to bring it to the dealership, but he did not pressure me at all. Instead, he let me know it was always up to me to decide what I preferred, but listed the benefits to continue to bring to the dealership. Because he put me at ease, was descriptive with his answers (I hate when I get “fluff” non-answers), and was patient with my questions, he convinced me to continue to bring my car. Honestly, it’s my preference to always work with Arvin if possible because it’s my experience with him that really made it feel worth it. I appreciated the good customer service and educating customers that I feel like most people/places just don’t have anymore. I hope Arvin gets his kudos from Lexus for his amazing work ethic! ”
“ Took my vehicle in for the 15k service. Arvin Javier in the service department was awesome and made the appointment seamless. On time, great communication and super friendly. Highly recommend! ”
“ Lexus of highland park is the Best! From sales, to the service advisors, porters and techs, they are hands down the Best! Highly recommend! ”
“ The experience with Lexus of highland park is unmatched! What a luxurious dealership. Service is exceptional & reasonable. ”
“ I recently switched to Lexus of Highland Park after a frustrating experience at another dealership, and I couldn’t be happier with the change. Even though it’s a longer drive for me, it’s absolutely worth it. The staff here are friendly, professional, and most importantly, honest. I really appreciate how they take the time to explain what repairs are urgent and what can wait, without pressuring me into unnecessary work. That kind of candid feedback gives me confidence and trust in their service. It’s refreshing to work with a team that values long-term relationships over quick sales. Highly recommend! ”
“ Top-notch experience! Daniel and his team were incredibly responsive and went out of their way to allocate the exact car. No games or gimmicks. Professional, attentive, and a pleasure to work with—highly recommend Lexus of Highland Park. ”
“ The service we have enjoyed with Lexus of Highland Park has always been fast, friendly and efficient. If recommended services are necessary, they have always been presented in a respectful manner, rather then the "get this done or you will die" urgency of other dealerships. LHP has been in our corner working with us as partners in making sure that we get the most enjoyment out of Lexus and have been willing to do what is needed to make that happen. GO WINGS! ”
“ Quick and reasonably priced maintenance services. I highly recommend this place. I've serviced my Lexus cars here for years. ”
“ Lexus of Highland Park did a 15,000 mile inspection on my NX 350 Hybrid went smoothly and surprisingly didn’t cost a fortune! The service guys are always helpful and I think the service manager is awesome. Always friendly and fun to chat with! ”
“ I recently visited Lexus of Highland Park for the 30,000 maintenance on our 2023 NX350 Hybrid. As always, the Lexus Service Team did an excellent job in providing me with a loaner car and explaining the charges associated with this usual maintenance. Arvin was the lead and it was a true pleasure as he is very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Our family have owned Lexus cars for many years and the cars’ excellence performance, along with the service staff’s expertise are the two main reasons. ”
“ I leased my 2022 Lexus RX350 from Lexus of Highland Park and eventually purchased the car. The Sales team was absolutely professional and made me feel at ease. But when I needed service on my car, Ryan, in the service department, always takes excellent care of me. The entire service department is knowledgeable and experienced, the repairs were completed promptly, and the price quoted was fair. I needed a windshield replaced recently, and though the part was backordered, once it arrived, the repair was completed within a few days. The Lexus of HP service team is wonderful to work with, and, in fact, every person I encountered at Lexus of HP has been kind and professional! Thanks, Ryan and Lexus of HP! ”
“ Great service. Leased and purchased several cars here. ”
“ Vito was amazing from showing car to explainig every details about all difference between cars. I had too many questions he answered all patiently. He was great once we confirm the car and communicating for any changes and arrival and everything. All in all he is amazing thank you Vito ”
“ As always, great experience at Lexus of HP. Fast, reliable, service. No unnecessary service performed or pushed at me. Convenient times and able to work while I wait! My service advisor Arvin was professional and pleasant. I really appreciate the service I get whenever I go to Lexus of HP! ”
“ I been to few Lexus dealers and other dealerships in surrounding area and I have to say my experience with Wayne was head and shoulder above the rest. I met Wayne three times, 1st time, i didnt realized the deal he offer was really good at the time, by the time I did my research and went back to him the 2nd time, that car was sold. I did more test drive and made change to what i was looking for on 2nd visit. On the 3rd visit, he had the car that i want and made a good offer for me, so i bought it. During this 5 weeks of car search, I have experienced many dealerships, and many i would probabally never go back again because either they careless about what they saying or outright lying. Wayne, on the otherhand, is very strightforward and will be respectful with your time and your intelligent even if you can not find the right car on that visit. ”
“ I recently brought in my car to be serviced at Lexus of Highland Park. My contact was Ray Lopez, the acting service manager. The quality of the service provided on my vehicle was excellent as usual. However, there was a misunderstanding and the service department provided more service than what I had requested. When I communicated the misunderstanding to Mr. Lopez he immediately acknowledged that the mistake was on their end, not mine. Without any hesitation he removed all charges for services that I had not specifically requested. I was very impressed with the professionalism that Mr Lopez exhibited in handling what could have been an uncomfortable situation. He should be commended for a job well done and I will no doubt continue to utilize the services of Lexus of Highland Park. ”
“ I was able to get an appointment right away. They took me in right away and I was given a loaner car. Dino explained everything to me on the workings of the car. He called me almost exactly when he expected my car to be done. It was the price I expected except when I got home I noticed a $6.15 charge that didn't make sense so I mentioned that on the survey they had sent me and Dino called within a 1/2 hour to explain it. Honestly it is a stupid charge but apparently it has been on all the past bills too and I just missed it. Extra parts needed. I actually went back through my bills and I do see it, under misc. at the end. Between $6-9:00 That is my only complaint, the bills are very long and wordy thus often confusing. Just say what you did and how much parts and labor was. I appreciate the time Dino takes with me, but I like everything explained. Totally love the car wash...... ”
“ Dino, service advisor, was extremely helpful and very professional. Only down side was to fill up the loaner when return. ”
“ My reason for a 3-star rating is because of price switching. Back in September I negotiated a price for a new set of tires, when I arrived to get them installed, the price was almost $200 higher. Then in October I called to schedule a 30,000 mile maintenance service and was quoted $505 minus a 15% Vertrans discount. When I arrived I was told the price would be $689 minus a 15% Vetrans discount. I see this as either miscommunication or price jacking. In other words buyer beware. I eventually got both prices adjusted to the original quotes but it took Management to get involved. I double check everything before I sign any agreement, but I wonder how many poor fools don't and get taken for the higher price. I'd like to add that Arvin and Patrick were a delight to work with at check-in - check-out. Both were extremely helpful and bent over backward to ensure I received quality service. I give them both 5-star rattings. Thank you Arvin and Patrick! ”

“ I recently brought my Lexus RX 350 into Lexus at Highland Park for an oil change and to have a noise checked out that I’d been hearing from the back of the vehicle. They weren’t able to fully diagnose the noise before closing and needed more time, but my service advisor Patrick H. immediately offered me a loaner—no hesitation, no hassle. The whole process was incredibly smooth and stress-free. The next morning, I received a call explaining what they believed was causing the noise. I’ll admit, I was a little unconvinced at first because it sounded like it was coming from a different area of the car. Since the repair wasn’t under warranty and would be out of pocket, I asked if I could come in to test drive it before moving forward. Patrick was completely understanding and arranged for me to come back the next day to do a short drive with the technician who worked on my vehicle. As it turns out, the technicians were absolutely spot on—it was coming from the sunroof, not the rear like I initially thought. I really appreciated their thoroughness and professionalism, and Patrick’s willingness to work with me to make sure I felt confident before proceeding. Overall, a very pleasant and professional experience. Lexus at Highland Park truly takes extreme care when servicing vehicles. Highly recommend! ”
