Seasonal Toyota Service

Now that we are approaching the winter in the Scottsdale area, it’s time to think about winter car service. Of course, winters in this region do not receive the type of snow and ice that you’ll find in much of the country, but this is a still a good time to keep your car up to speed. And if you’re traveling up to northern Arizona or someplace that gets snow and ice, you’ll want to be sure that your Toyota car is ready to handle the elements. Here are some types of winter-focused maintenance that the mechanics at our Toyota service center will perform. 

Winter Toyota Maintenance

While we recommend getting service checkups every six months, the changing of the seasons is a great time to do so. These types of maintenance are especially important in the winter. 

• Light Check: In winter, the sun sets earlier in the day, even here in Arizona. As a result, you will want to ensure that your car’s headlights are in excellent condition. 

• Battery Maintenance: In cold weather, it is often harder for a battery to operate. We recommend having your battery checked before winter to make sure it’s in good working order. 

• Coolant Flush: Your antifreeze, or coolant, is especially important in winter. It keeps the engine from freezing in cold temperatures, so we recommend getting the coolant filled and flushed. 

• Winter Tires: If you’re going to be doing serious winter driving, we recommend investing in winter tires. They can be purchased from our Toyota tire center, and they provide you with increased handling and performance on slippery and icy surfaces.
