We know, we know - we're always harping on you to get your car care on the schedule. We know we can be annoying, but we have the best intentions. Keeping your car on a routine car maintenance schedule ensures efficient and safe performance, low repair bills, and higher resale value should you decide you want to sell or trade in down the road. However, even if you can't stick to a schedule for your ride's care, there are certain Toyota service appointments you should NEVER skip. Here are the five our Orlando Toyota car care techs recommend getting on the books routinely.
Get these five auto services on the books ASAP
#1: Oil changes: Oil is VITAL to performance. It keeps your engine cool and lubricated. When it gets too dirty to do its job or the level gets too low, you can have serious (and expensive repercussions) anywhere from your car overheating to your engine actually permanently conking out. It's critical to schedule your routine oil changes at our Orlando auto service center to ensure your engine doesn't get damaged.
#2: Replacing your brake pads: Your brake pads, if you remember, press against the rotor to bring your car to a stop when you hit your brake pedal. Over time, they wear out and need to be replaced as they thin down. If you skip this Orlando auto service, they'll wear down too thin and then your rotors can become warped and damaged. This affects braking power and can lead to a costly rotor replacement if you want to keep your car on the road. Trust us, it's much cheaper to just get regular brake service!
#3: Changing your air filter: Your engine air pulls in air in order to ignite fuel so it's important that the air it intakes is clean. That's where your engine air filter comes in. It prevents dirt and debris from being pulled into the engine alongside the aforementioned air. When it gets too dirty, your car may pull in less air which can lead to major performance problems over time. Swap it out for a clean one regularly.
#4: Tire rotations: No one wants to pay for new tires. We get it. So get your tires rotated! Rotating your tires ensures that they all wear evenly and also extends their life so you can go longer in between tire replacements. Save yourself money and schedule this routine Orlando car care appointment when your tech recommends it.
#5: Swapping out your timing belt: Luckily, this is one Orlando auto service appointment that you won't have to schedule too often. But it's critical that you do it when you're due for it. Your timing belt keeps your car's engine running properly - it ensures that every process that happens, happens at the right time. Over time, it will wear out (but not for 100,000 miles or so). When that happens, it's worth making the investment to replace it. If it breaks before it's replaced, it not only can break parts inside the engine bay but can also render your car useless.
