Set car maintenance new year's resolutions for 2018

2018 is just days away, which means it's time to set those new year's resolutions. While you toss around ideas like losing weight or tightening up your bank account, why not consider getting on a car maintenance schedule? Routine car care can save you money when it comes to repairs and service as well as keep your car running like new. (And it's an easy resolution to fulfill, too.) Toyota of Orlando is here to help!

Let Toyota of Orlando help you make 2018 the best year yet 

We can get you on a routine car maintenance schedule and help you stick to it all year long; our techs will send you reminders when you're due and also conduct a multi-point inspection when your car is here for auto service to ensure no bigger problems are about to crop up. Here are some of the things you'll want to consider putting on your schedule this year:

Routine oil changes. Remember, oil is an essential component of your car's performance. Without it, your engine can quickly overheat and become irreparably damaged. That's why it's important to get on an Orlando oil change schedule and bring your car in when it's due to get the tank filled up with clean oil. Save yourself a ton of money in the long run by spending a little bit now!

Tire rotations. It's important to rotate your tires because if you don't, they wear unevenly. This means they wear out more quickly, which means you have to replace them more quickly (so much for tightening up your budget). Rotating your car tires on a scheduled basis will help them to wear more evenly and give you a better overall performance.

Battery inspection/replacement. No one likes being stuck with a dead car, scrambling for jumper cables and hoping for the best. Have your battery checked on a routine basis (our Orlando car maintenance techs will check out your voltage as well as the physical condition of the battery). And remember, if it's time to replace your car battery, don't delay!

Keep your ride running like-new in 2018 with routine car maintenance

Wipers replacement. Your wipers wear down over time (especially with the intense weather we get here in Central Florida). Once the rubber on the blades starts to deteriorate, it's time to replace them. You'll notice them leaving streaks on your windshield as well as making odd noises when in motion. Replace them so you can safely take on any type of weather.

Brake service. You want full stopping power on your side at all times... period. Schedule routine brake service to have your brake pads, rotors, brake lines, and everything else in the system inspected and if need be, replaced or repaired.

Kick off 2018 the right way - let Toyota of Orlando get you on a car maintenance schedule today! Our auto service center is open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall. See you soon and happy new year!
