We’re here for all of your service needs and we want to keep you on the road this summer. Give us a call or schedule below! 

Keep your engine cool 

An overheated engine is very common in the hot, summer heat. But if you keep your coolant at the proper levels and periodically flush out your engine, the chances of your engine overheating are slim! If you choose to top off your coolant yourself, be sure to let your vehicle cool down and NEVER open your radiator cap when the engine is hot! 

Make sure those fluids are at proper levels 

Most engine fluids lubricate and serve as a way to help carry heat away from critical components in order for them to cool off in hot temperatures. When you let your fluid levels drop, this cooling-off effect is drastically reduced which makes overheating a real possibility. We recommend checking all of your vehicle fluids including motor oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and brake fluid periodically to ensure they are at their proper level. 

Maintain a comfortable driving environment 

When those temperatures start to rise, your air conditioning system becomes your best friend. Not only will the cooler temp keep you comfortable but it also increases your alertness and reduces fatigue. If your AC system isn’t working quite like it used to, it could mean that your refrigerant level is low or there is another underlying issue. We recommend stopping in to have your system checked over to diagnose any issues. 

Make sure your battery is prepared for high temps

Many people think battery issues only happen in the wintertime but that’s not true. In fact, extreme temperatures have an impact on your battery, no matter if it is the heat or the cold. Heat and vibration are your battery’s worst enemy which will lead to an internal breakdown and eventual failure. So, make sure your battery is securely fastened in your vehicle, properly cleaned, and charged ready to go.

June is here. Adventures are being planned. It’s time to hit the road. But before you hit the road, it’s important to service your Toyota. Nothing is worse than a breakdown along the way of a summer road trip and we’re here to assist you and make sure that doesn’t happen!

With summer is nearly here and we are finally experiencing some pretty warm weather, and I know I’m pretty excited about it, and I’m sure you guys are too! We all know warm weather means hitting the road for your next adventure, but before you do it is a good idea to check out our summer car care tips. Use the guide below as a checklist and make sure that everything is running properly. If you have gotten your vehicle serviced lately, we suggest scheduling a tune-up with our Toyota certified service technicians. Looking for some DIY work? If you haven’t serviced it in a while, we suggest topping off your fluid levels or just schedule a service appointment with us today! 

Make sure your battery is prepared for high temps

Many people think battery issues only happen in the wintertime but that’s not true. In fact, extreme temperatures have an impact on your battery, no matter if it is the heat or the cold. Heat and vibration are your battery’s worst enemy which will lead to an internal breakdown and eventual failure. So, make sure your battery is securely fastened in your vehicle, properly cleaned, and charged ready to go. 

Keep your tires properly inflated

Your tires should always be filled to proper PSI levels, but driving on under-inflated tires can cause tires to overheat and eventually blow out which is extremely dangerous to yourself, your passengers, and other drivers. Make a note to check your tire’s PSI at least once a month (even the spare) and be sure to do so when they are cold for the best, most accurate reading. 

Keep your engine cool 

An overheated engine is very common in the hot, summer heat. But if you keep your coolant at the proper levels and periodically flush out your engine, the chances of your engine overheating are slim! If you choose to top off your coolant yourself, be sure to let your vehicle cool down and NEVER open your radiator cap when the engine is hot! 

Inspect what’s under the hood

Oftentimes, we forget about all the components that are working hard under the hood to help get us to where we want to be during the summer months! Well, we’re here to remind you to give them a look over. Check on your engine’s hoses, drive belts, and anything susceptible to heat-related deterioration. These things can lead to a breakdown which is what we’re trying to avoid. So, spend a few minutes when your vehicle is cool & make sure there are no cracks, soft spots, or any other signs of poor condition!
