Your Car Care List For The New Year

It’s a new year, and that allows you to start on a fresh, clean slate. This year you want to set the intention of doing better, whether that’s checking things off your bucket list or taking care of your car. Here at Toyota of Orlando, we want the best for you, and that’s why we’ve formulated a car care list for the new year so that you can drive your Orlando Toyota in its best shape. 

So, here are #8 car care tips for the new year. 

Keep an emergency kit. 

Be ready for anything! Staying prepared can alleviate some of the inconveniences that life brings us. This is why keeping an emergency kit in your car is a must. Here’s what our expert techs recommend to pack: jumper cables, car care tool kit, flashlight, batteries, compass, duct tape, water, first aid kit, and nonperishable foods.

Learn how to Jump-start your car

The new year calls for learning something new as well. What’s a better way than to learn how to Jump-start your car? This is especially essential if you don’t go in for routine maintenance checks. It is inconvenient to be stuck stranded with a dead car battery and have no idea what to do. 

Take care of your tires.

Good tires are a necessity for the car care of your Orlando Toyota. Signs you need to get your tires looked at could be that your tire pressure has been low shortly after you filled them up with air. It’s not fun getting a punctured tire, but making sure to get your tires replaced quickly and efficiently will save you money from having to replace the entire tire if you choose to ignore it. So, learn how to fix a punctured tire and change a flat tire this year! 

Schedule routine car maintenance.

Come into Toyota of Orlando’s service center to complete your routine car maintenance. This can seem like a tedious process, but you can get all of your minor problems fixed before they develop into significant issues. Our service technicians work exceptionally efficiently and get the job done correctly. 

Keep your car road-trip-ready.

A new year calls for new road trip plans. Drive your car to Toyota of Orlando, so we can make sure your Orlando Toyota is road trip ready by checking your engine, fluids, brakes, and more! It’s super easy to schedule service appointments. Just go online or call (352) 404-7001. 

Stay clean with a routine!

Set up a cleaning schedule with you and your car. For example, if you didn’t shower daily, you would be smelly and dirty, and with your Orlando Toyota, it’s the same! So don’t slack this year and schedule to vacuum, wipe down, and organize your car at the end of every month. If you do not want to do it yourself, stop by our dealership. We got the rest. 

Don’t ignore anything.

Just how we’re not ignoring red flags this year, that includes our cars. If your dashboard tells you something is funky with your car, listen to it. 

Everything that has to do with a gas can!

A very underrated Orlando Toyota car care tip is to learn how to fill and transport a gas can. This knowledge becomes helpful if you ever run into a situation where you’re stranded far from a gas station with an empty tank of gas. Of course, there’s also learning how to transport the gas safely and securely.
