While automotive maintenance is only necessary a couple of times a year, it is still necessary. Don’t feed into the belief that “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” There are plenty of preventive measures that can be taken to ensure that major automotive problems don’t pop up in the future. Keeping up with scheduled maintenance is the difference between having the same car for ten years and prematurely sending it off to the junk yard.

Here is a checklist of a regular maintenance schedule. Follow it to ensure that your car continues to run in tip-top shape:

Every 3 Months or 5,000 Miles

  • Check and inspect the coolant level, coolant mixture, lug bolts, oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid
  • Refill washer fluid
  • Get an oil change every 5,000 miles, no matter the time frame

Every 6 Months or 8,000-10,000 Miles

  • Check tire depth, spark plug wires, and brake systems
  • Perform battery cleaning
  • Replace windshield wipers

Every Year or 12,000-15,000 Miles

  • Fuel pressure regulation and timing belt inspection
  • Radiator flush
  • Replace spark plugs, brake pads, and fuel filter
  • ABS sensor maintenance

Following these simple guidelines will save you a boat load of time and money in the future. A car is an investment; make sure that you continue to invest in it, year after year.

Leasing a vehicle has its perks but it can also cause added stress and concern. Leasees often wonder what they will be charged if their leased car is dented, dinged, or scratched. And what if a rock hits the windshield or a part falls off?

Toyota understands these concerns and that is why Toyota Financial Services developed a new Excess Wear & Use protection plan (EWU). This plan is offered to leasees and takes care of any charges the customer would be responsible for at the end of the lease because of excess use and wear. This includes:

  • Interior stains, burns, or cuts
  • Tire, rim, or hubcap damage
  • Broken or scratched windshield, mirrors, or lights
  • Bumper dents, dings, or scratches
  • Body dents
  • Missing parts or equipment

Toyota is excited to offer this new EWU plan and to make the leasing process even more enjoyable and pain free. Contact Toyota Customer Service at 1-800-331-4331 with any questions you have.
