We all know that your trunk is one hot mess. Unorganized, dirty, and begging for a little TLC in the name of cleaning. Now listen, I am not judging because I know these kinds of things get pushed to the bottom of our to-do list but with those chilly temperatures creeping up on us, now is the time to clean it out! This week we have your guide on why you should be cleaning and organizing your trunk. Check it out below and let us know what tips work best for you!

Increase Safety – Things tend to fly, roll around your vehicle and in the event of a collision or a quick stop, these items will come flying and could end up hurting you or your passengers. This is no good, if this happens you could do some serious damage, get hurt, or if loose items are flying around it could affect your driving in unexpected ways.

Save Money – Having a full, heavy trunk can cost you some dollars and will negatively affect your vehicle’s fuel mileage. Remove all of your unnecessary items in your trunk and vehicle to increase fuel efficiency. Who knows – maybe you’ll find some hidden treasures while you clean!

Bare Necessities – Once you’ve cleaned out your trunk (and we mean really clean, get the vacuum), you should only keep the items that are important and truly belong in the back of your vehicle. Items like a first aid kit, emergency kit, sweatshirt, and other items alike are perfect. You don’t need 24 shopping bags back there, get rid of them!

Contain The Mess – Using organization tools will make your life a lot easier when it comes time for you to dig out that first aid kit when you need it most. Shower caddies or specifically designed car organizers are great tools to invest in. We hope you stay clean, organized, and on top of your mess!

Before signing on the dotted line, have you done all of your research? Have you asked all of the right questions? We sure hope so, but if you didn’t or you’re just about to start the buying process – we hope you will use the information we are about to tell you wisely. This week, we are sharing some important questions you should be asking when it comes time to buy your next new Toyota! Take a look below and let us know what ones you’ve found are the most important to ask before signing on the line!

Are there any additional fees?

• We hope it isn’t a shock but when buying a new car, you’ll be paying for more than just the car itself. It’s a good idea to ask what fees you are going to pay and how much they will be. This will cut down on confusion when it’s time for you to sign and drive off the lot with your new Toyota.

What other amenities does the vehicle come with?

• Cars these days come with many gadgets and gizmos and you will want to know what they are before driving off or signing. Why? Well, if the vehicle you’re considering has features that you may not use or want – you probably don’t want to pay for them. Also, on the flip side, if you’re looking for specific features, you’ll want to ask and make sure your new vehicle is equipped with them.

Will you hold the vehicle while I make a decision?

• Of course, we will but we like to put this on here to ensure that you ask and don’t lose out on a great new vehicle that you’ve fallen in love with. We encourage our customers to take the time they need, buying a new vehicle is a big investment and we want you to be sure this is the right option for you!

How long is the warranty and what does it cover?

• Your vehicle is an investment and you will need to take care of that investment. Be sure to ask what type of warranty your vehicle comes with and how long it will last. These warranties will help keep some cash in your wallet when it comes to repairs and maintenance.

Here at Fiore Toyota, it is our goal to go above and beyond for each and every customer that steps foot through our door. Whether you are looking to purchase a new vehicle or swap out an air filter, each visit should be a stellar one. This week, we want to share with your a few testimonials that show exactly how important our customers are to us and how we are willing to go above and beyond to make your vehicle dreams a reality!

Rob Riewoldt – 5 Stars!

“The folks at Fiore are second to none! I drove 7 hours one way for a great used vehicle with a lifetime warranty on several features of the vehicle. If you stop in or call Fiore, ask for Chris Dryzal and he will take care of you!”

Craig Ormsby – 5 Stars!

“I’ve purchased several vehicles from Fiore Toyota going back to 1981- both new and used. I have found their pricing to be competitive and employees customer focused. Only ever had one issue (with a new Camry of all things) and they immediately resolved the warranty issue. The dealership is worthy of consideration if you are in the new or used car market.”

Robert Seese – 5 Stars!

“Tom our salesman was great to work with. Everyone at this dealership was about the customer and providing great service. This was our first time buying from Fiore but not our first time buying a Toyota. We will definitely be back, the buying process was very easy and they were very easy to deal with. There was no playing games they got it right the first time. Thanks again to Tom and Fiore Toyota!”

Zachary Niper – 5 Stars!

“Overall great experience purchasing our first vehicle as a married couple!! Jack William’s is the absolute best salesman either of us have ever dealt with. He has definitely found his calling in life. We gained a great vehicle and Fiore gained another lifetime customer.”

Tom Yocum – 5 Stars!

“My wife and I were pleased with the service we received from Tom McCracken when purchasing a new car. Tom was thorough in his presentation and his knowledge of the Toyota features was impressive -especially with all of the new safety features. We did our homework with pricing and we’re happy with the deal he offered. Great experience, thanks, Tom.”

It can be a little overwhelming when it comes time to choose a new vehicle. You are constantly surrounded by choices to make, trims, finance and lease options, color options, add-ons, accessories. I mean, the list is never-ending and can sometimes leave you extremely frustrated. Trust me, I’ve been there and I want to help YOU choose the right vehicle for all of life’s adventures. With that being said, this week I am featuring one of my favorite Toyota vehicles, the Toyota 4Runner.

What I Love About The Toyota 4Runner:

The 4Runner is one wild vehicle. From appearance to capability – this SUV is ready to take on any adventure you and your family are planning to take. Seriously, this is one capable SUV with features like 4WD with Active Traction Control, KDSS/ CRAWL, Multi-Terrain Select, and Locking rear differential. If you’re not sure what those features are or what they mean – all you need to know is that this vehicle will NEVER limit your travels. And, will let you tackle tougher terrains while giving you all of the confidence in the world.

Let’s talk interior. The 4Runner offers a quality-made cabin with an instrument panel shape that is tailored to accommodate high-end technology. Take note of the 6.1-inch high-resolution touch-screen display that is front and center of the 4Runner. This allows you to control all of your media in a central location while Optitron instrumentation will make it easy for you to see gauges, day or night. Plus, with premium seating materials, available heated and ventilated front seats, and a power moonroof – the 4Runner should be your top choice, every time.

This SUV features utility and a lot of it. With the fold-flat second-row seats, your 4Runner will feature up to 88.8 cu. ft. of cargo space. Plus, with the power rear glass, the 4Runner makes it easy to grab and go once you lower the glass with the touch of a button. And, we can’t forget to talk about the available sliding rear cargo deck that can support up to 440 lbs. and will make for a quick setup wherever you go.

It’s one safe SUV, too. Hop in and have peace of mind knowing that the 4Runner is equipped with 8 standard airbags, side-impact door beams, the Star Safety System™, ToyotaCare, and Safety Connect®. How’s that for safe? Oh, and your 4Runner even has a Tire Pressure Monitor System that will keep you connected to your tires wherever you go!

What do you say? Are you in love yet? I sure am! Stop in to see us today for a test drive around the area and let our finance team secure you behind the wheel of your dream SUV!  

Have you noticed a change in your vehicle? Perhaps, you can tell that the battery is on its last leg and it’s time for a replacement. A great way to check is by asking one of our technicians to test the battery during your next oil change. Often times, this can catch a dying battery in the act and will keep you from getting stranded on the side of the road. If your battery is dead or is on its way out, it is time for a change and we want to tell you how you can change it from the convenience of your own driveway. Follow our guide and get ready to learn some battery knowledge!

1. Check the owner’s manual for the location of your battery or simply pop open the hood and take a look. More often than not, the battery will stick out and you’ll notice it right away. Identify the positive posts from the negative. Positive posts/cables are often red and have a plus sign on it. Negative posts/cables are often black and have a negative sign.
2. Using a wrench, loosen the bolt that has secured the negative terminal and cable to the negative post. Once the bolt is loose, pull the cable away from the post and set off to the side out of the way. Repeat with the positive terminal. Always do the negative post first! 
3. Remove the clamp or whatever may be holding the battery in the holding tray. Carefully, lift the battery out of the tray and take note that it will be heavy. If you notice corrosion to the battery cables, terminals, holding tray or posts – use a wire brush and anti-corrosive cleaning solution. Make sure that all parts are dry before replacing the battery.
4. Insert the new battery into the holding tray and secure it once more with the clamp. Remove the plastic covers that cover battery posts and install anti-corrosion washers over them. Apply a thin layer of grease to posts and terminals before connecting the positive terminal to the positive post FIRST. Use a wrench to tighten the connector until snug and repeat for the negative terminal.
5. Give the battery a wiggle. If it moves, you need to tighten the clamp to ensure that the battery is not able to move when you’re driving along the roadway.

And, voila! You are done and have successfully installed a new battery into your precious vehicle! For questions, reach out to our service department and they will be able to assist you further!
