If you're ready to say good-bye to the harsh and cold winter season, then you're just like a lot of other people in Waterford. Just the thought of spring may make you want to get in your vehicle and take a long road trip! But is your Toyota ready for the season? Spring is the opportune time to assess the condition of your Toyota. And there are recommended services you should have completed. Keep reading to find out what they are and why they should be completed now. Be sure to contact us if you need additional information about the services mentioned.
Tire Rotation and Quality Inspection
Tire rotations should occur every 10,000 miles for your Toyota. But even if you're not due this spring, it's an ideal opportunity to have tire rotations completed. Summer is just a few months away, and you want the best traction to be on the drive axle for vacations and weekend getaways around Detroit. If you're experiencing any vibration in the steering, tire balancing should occur at the same time. Your tire air pressure also needs to be checked, and the quality condition of your tires needs to be inspected, regardless of whether your tires are rotated. And of course, if you need new tires, our dealership has you covered with all the top brands.
Oil Change and Air Filter Inspection
To maintain optimum performance and extend the lifespan of your engine around Bloomfield, MI, your oil must be consistently changed. If you've gotten behind, now is a good time to catch up. Spring is an opportune season to assess the engine oil level and the quality condition. While you're having an oil change, be sure to have your air filter inspected also. A clean air filter is essential to prevent harmful debris from entering the engine oil, which can easily cause the quality to deteriorate.
Technology and Software Updates
Do you know if there are any software updates needed for your Toyota? It's important to ensure you have the latest technology for all your computerized systems, such as navigation, multimedia, and audio. Software updates should be completed at least once a year around Rochester, MI. You want to ensure these systems are working properly to avoid any technical glitches or invalid information. That could cause problems when you least expect them to.
Fluid Levels Check
When was the last time your windshield washer, transmission, oil, coolant, and brake fluids were checked? If you haven't checked them in a while, take this opportunity to ensure that all levels are at their maximum level. Fluid checks are an easy do-it-yourself task. But they can be checked by our technicians near Farmington, who will also top off any low fluid levels and advise you of any issues that could be causing low levels, such as leaks or operational issues. Important note: The coolant must be checked when the engine is cold. Wait at least an hour after driving or check the fluid before driving your vehicle to prevent harm to yourself.
