Summer is a great time for your vehicle to give you all sorts of headaches. It could be from the hot temperatures or the frequent road trips on the weekend. Here are a few tips to avoid the headaches and save you money in the long run:
Check Your Tires
Check your tire pressure at least once a month and keep them inflated to the recommended level indicated on the tires. It’s important your tires are at the recommended pressure level, under-inflated tires can cause a tire to blow, whereas over-inflated tires can cause hydroplaning during wet weather. While checking your tire pressure, look at the tread of your tires to ensure they’re not worn.
Keep Fluids Replenished
Hot temperatures can take a toll on your cooling system and cause serious issues with the engine. If coolant levels are low, the engine’s temperature will rise. Make sure that your coolant level is at the recommended level (there should be an indication for max level) and if it’s not, give our Parts Department a call and we’d be happy to get you taken care of!
Change Air Filter
The air filter attracts all kinds of debris to keep your cabin clean, this is great but it can get clogged quickly. A clogged air filter can actually decrease your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and by replacing it, you can improve your mileage by up to 10%. If you need to replace your air filter, give our Parts Department a call at 614-766-4800 and they would be happy to assist!
Following these tips will help prolong the life of your vehicle, and keep you safe while on the road. If you have any concerns or issues regarding your Toyota, give our Service Department a call or schedule an appointment here
