Interested in winning a 70" flat screen TV, two high-end La-Z-Boy recliners and a $500 gift card to the Montgomery Inn before this year's SuperBowl?

If you're thinking, "Why, yes, yes I am" then I have some good news for you.

I just got an email from Lexus RiverCenter that says they're giving away all of the above awesomeness to one person. How do you get to be this lucky person? Just test-drive any car they have on the lot! Sounds easy enough to me!

Looks like the winner will be selected on Feb. 1, so make sure you get in for your test drive before then! Happy driving! Hope I get an invite to your SuperBowl party if you win! :)

Online Scheduling Amazingness!

While you can't always predict when your car needs service (like when my neighbor hit my parked car when she was parallel parking a couple weeks ago), there are some things you can predict... like oil changes, tune ups, etc. And for those things, Lexus is making it even easier to schedule those into your busy bee life with online scheduling of maintenance.

I'm excited about this because it'll save a lot of time and frustration... no more having to wait in the long line of people who had the same idea to get an oil change that day.

Lexus RiverCenter and Performance Lexus are both offering this online scheduling. So, basically, you go to their site, under "Service" click "Schedule Service." There are four super easy steps to follow and no hassle. No more calling and scheduling over the phone, just a few clicks of your mouse and you're ready to go. Enjoy!

Thanks to my intern Sara Elliott for helping me put this blog post together!

Lexus Makes the Holidays Happy for the 9th District School Chorus!

Today reminded me what the holidays are all about. Magic, surprises, generosity and joy. 


Lexus RiverCenter and Performance Lexus donated $10,000 to the Ninth District School chorus in Covington this afternoon. After the kids caroled, Lexus reps surprised the pint-sized singers with Fabulous Fur coats and lots of presents! Check out all their surprised little faces in this video!

CARoling Dec. 6 at Lexus RiverCenter!

What better way to get in the holiday spirit than to see and hear some adorable carolers!

You can at noon on Dec. 6 at Lexus RiverCenter!

Lisa, the GM at LRC, told me that kiddie carolers from the Ninth District School chorus in Covington visit the dealership each year to sing a few holiday tunes. How cute! So, if you have some time that day, and need a little holiday cheer, I'm sure they'd love it if you could attend! How great would it be to have a big crowd for these kids!

Lisa says she'll also have some special treats for all attendees as a thank you for attending! Please RSVP to Lbernstein@lexusrivercenter.com (along with how many people). See you there!

Black Friday Sales Event at Performance Lexus

I just got an email from Performance Lexus about their Black Friday Sales. I don't know what I like more about it ... the fact that the car featured is my exact car (silver IS350), or that says "You deserve the best. It's that simple." (I've been telling my husband that as I plead for Santa to leave a LV delightful handbag under the tree this year! haha!)

What I also love about the email is that there are some great deals in there! Everything from 10% over Kelly Blue Book for your trade-in to $1k in flex cash to use as down payment or for service later! I even learned something new about Performance Lexus... I didn't know they do complimentary pick up and delivery for service! That's huge! Even though I love the dealership and all the niceties there, I love hanging out at home in my PJs even better!

Check out the email for yourself below, click here to learn more, and stop in to Performance Lexus on Black Friday for some divine deals!

Black Friday and Cyber Monday is right around the corner!

Testimonial Time! Sharon's GS 350

Sharon and her GS 350 from Lexus RiverCenter

So, I'm hanging out in my second home, Lexus RiverCenter, last week getting a car wash, enjoying some yummy coffee and hopping on the wifi to get some work done.... I look across the waiting room and see a friend of mine who's doing the EXACT same thing!

I didn't know she owned a Lexus. So, we get to chatting and she tells me that she just bought a car there, and she bought because of all the same awesome perks I'm always raving about! I asked her to write a testimonial for the blog so you know I'm not the only one who buys a car based on free coffee and car washes. :)

Here's her testimonial!

From the moment you arrive to Lexus RiverCenter you experience exceptional service.

The staff is amazing.  They will do everything possible to make sure you are 100% satisfied with every visit to their dealership and make you feel like the most important customer every time.  There are so many places that you can purchase a car, but not everywhere provides a welcoming atmosphere with all of the amenities of Lexus RiverCenter.  Multiple waiting Lounges, great coffee and complimentary car washes….you can’t beat it!

Lexus RiverCenter has great service, wonderful follow-up and reliable cars!! The staff will listen, respond and have thorough knowledge of their vehicles - communication is key - a most valuable asset!  A few of the great reasons why I decided to purchase a Lexus from LRC.  Thank you, Paul Suchanek and Lexus RiverCenter for my GS 350!
