Part one of a series on transmission repair for luxury vehicles explores repairs on automakers Infinity and Lexus.

You’ve seen them on the road. Infinitis are nice sedans with a touch of class, and a logo that looks like a road going off well, into infinity. While they are luxury vehicles, like all cars, they need regular transmission service. Infinitis are luxury vehicles that are relatively new on the scheme of things. Here’s a brief history of the Infiniti in America. According to this article excerpt “The Infiniti brand was introduced in the USA in 1989. The marketing strategy was to target the premium vehicle segments in the United States that would not have otherwise fit in with Nissan’s more mainstream image, and partially influenced by the Plaza Accord of 1985.

As Infiniti is a sub-brand of Nissan motors, Lexus is a sub-brand of Toyota. Of the two, Lexus is the number one selling luxury brand in the world. Like Infinitis, Lexuses have an alphanumeric model name, and they are the same age, coming into existence around the end of the 80’s. Lexus has also expanded into the hybrid market, with the inception of it’s new model the GS 450H. Lexuses have an 8-speed automatic transmission. They also have what is known as a Continuously Vairable Transmission (CVT), which makes for seamless shifting. However, while rare, because of the quality of their transmissions, even Lexuses require transmission repair in Mesa.
So whether you have a Lexus or Infiniti, or like most of us your car isn’t as lofty, you want to take care of it. One way to start is with regularly scheduled transmission service.
