Need New Tires? Visit Your Toyota Dealership

You need to get Toyota service regularly to keep your car in great shape, and your Toyota dealer provides all the essential services you could ever need. There are some services that you need to get on a regular basis, typically on a mileage-based schedule, while others, such as repairs, should be done as needed. more 1. Battery Service and Replacement Your dealer needs to check on your battery's health regularly to make sure the battery is still in good condition. This is because batteries only last around three years, and when they get old, their performance suffers. When your battery isn't working properly, your car could break down and leave you unable to get the engine started when you're in the middle of nowhere. This is why your dealer needs to keep on top of your battery's health and replace the battery when needed. 2. Oil Change The motor oil in your Toyota needs to be drained and replaced with fresh oil at least once a year, though exactly how often you need an oil change varies depending on which model you drive. While your oil is being changed, the oil filter will also be replaced. When the oil level in your Toyota gets low in between changes, you'll need to have the supply replenished to make sure the motor oil can always adequately lubricate the parts of your engine. The oil is just one of the many fluids in your car that needs to be replaced and replenished every so often, so make sure you also keep track of all your other fluid levels and visit the dealer for checks and top-offs. 3. Brake Service and Repair You need to get your brakes examined regularly. This is because your brake pads need to be replaced every so often. You also need to have your brake fluid level topped off and get the brake fluid replaced regularly, too. Your dealer also needs to keep an eye on your rotors to make sure they're not damaged, and all the other parts of your braking system need to be checked for problems, too. 4. Tire Service Every time you visit the dealer for regular service, your tires should be inspected. If your dealer notices your tires are old, have any damage such as cracks and bubbles on them, or have low tread, then the tires will be replaced. There are also certain services your dealer will perform to keep your tires in good condition and make sure the tread wears down evenly, such as tire rotations. Come and see us at Marianna Toyota in Marianna, FL for the services above and all the other services we offer. You can request an appointment with our service department online at any time.

Hopefully, you’re not the kind of car owner who will ignore the vehicle’s check engine light when it appears on the dashboard. If you are, however, we’d like to clarify what it might mean and show you why it’s significant. Once you know why it matters, you don’t have to panic, however. Just take your vehicle over to Mariana Toyota for outstanding automotive service and repairs. more The Most Common Reasons for Check Engine Lights Engine Trouble The engine is the most obvious starting point for this dashboard light. If either the engine itself or any of its surrounding components, suffer damage, the sensors will notice it and trigger the light. Transmission Problems Since your car’s transmission affects engine power and functionality, you’ll notice the light come on when something’s wrong with it. Transmission mishaps can also spill over into tailpipe emission issues, which brings us to our next point. Emissions Equipment Today’s vehicles have much more emissions gear than in the old days. This covers a myriad of potential concerns, including gas recirculation, the catalytic converter, and evaporative emissions, to name only a few. Other Sensors and Modules If you can’t keep up with all the sensors in your vehicle, you’re not alone, and it’s another reason to hold on to your vehicle’s owner manual. There are a large array of sensors that govern your vehicle’s powertrain equipment. When something triggers them, they’ll often produce a check engine light. Air/Fuel Problems You never want to neglect a problem with your air/fuel system. These are what move fuel throughout your vehicle properly, and if something goes awry, the check engine light will illuminate. Ignition Issues If your ignition is failing, we may have to investigate potential damage to components like the coil packs, spark plugs, and everything else necessary to ignite the air/fuel system. The check engine light might appear even before you have trouble starting your car.

The radiator of your car has two jobs: to keep your engine from overheating and to keep your coolant circulating through your cooling system. Oftentimes bad radiators fly under the radar because the symptoms of a bad radiator can be blamed on other malfunctions. For help identifying the symptoms of a bad radiator, keep reading. more The first symptom of a bad radiator is abnormally low coolant levels. Coolant needs to be replaced every 30,000 miles or so. Depending on how often you drive, this is about once every one to three years. If you find yourself replacing your coolant more often than this, you may have a malfunctioning radiator. Clogs or leaks in the radiator prevent the flow of coolant through your vehicle's system. If you turn on the heaters of your cabin and you aren't getting any hot air flow, your radiator may be damaged. On the other hand, you may experience overheating or high temperature readings when your vehicle's radiator is failing. Your radiator is responsible for keeping your engine cool and if it is broken or failing, it may be unable to do its job and lead to engine overheating. You can also get high temperature readings when your radiator is failing because the radiator is failing to supply coolant to the engine. Coolant should never be sludgy in texture. If your coolant is not maintaining its liquid properties, it is discolored, or it contains buildup, your radiator may have a leak. It may also be failing due to another problem. If your car is experiencing any of these problems, you should have your vehicle inspected by our team at Marianna Toyota. Our professional and well-trained service staff is skilled when it comes to identifying problems with car radiators and fixing these problems. Whether you need a leak in your radiator patched up or you need to replace the part all together, you can trust Marianna Toyota to get the job done quickly and efficiently for an affordable price.
