What service does my car need?

If you're asking that question, you've just taken your first step towards driving smarter. Truth is, your car requiresall kinds of servicing, but it's relatively easy to keep on top of things when you read your owner's manual and take care of:

  • Preventative Maintenance
  • Repairs and Changes

Basic Maintenance

Preventative maintenance like the Toyota 30,000-mile service is carried out before anything can actually go wrong. It's a little like making regular trips to the dentist instead of waiting to feel pain in one of your teeth, and you can handle plenty yourself by keeping an eye on:

  • Dashboard Indicator Lights
  • Lights
  • Tire Inflation and Condition
  • Windshield Washer Fluid
  • Engine Oil Level

There are also a few maintenance tasks your local service center can take care of during the service intervals laid out in your owner's manual.

Regular routine maintenance includes:

  • Replacing Windshield Wipers: When the windshield wipers begin to get streaky, you need to replace them. This often happens when the blades get damaged or dried out.
  • Replacing Cabin Air Filter: This one is easily accessible, and you can pick up a filter at any auto parts shop.
  • Replacing the Engine Air Filter: This might be a little trickier, so consider taking your car to a professional. If the filter is dirty, you need to replace it.
  • Rotate and Balance Tires: A service technician can check that your tires are properly rotated, balanced, and aligned.
  • Checking Tire Tread Depth: If your tires don't have enough tread, they can't effectively hold to the road.

Repairs and Changes

Routine maintenance is relatively predictable, but you might occasionally notice something going wrong with another part, including the engine, transmission, or suspension.

It can be tempting to put off the replacement or repair work, but you'll only be setting yourself up for larger bills in the future. Don't ignore the need for part replacement or engine troubleshooting.
