Winter is just around the corner and cooler days are ahead. We may not see any snow or ice here in Phoenix, but after our hot summer, it’s important to make sure your vehicle is ready for the change of seasons. Here are a few Toyota service tips from our technicians at Bell Road Toyota.
Visit a Carwash
Are you still seeing the remnants of summer on your vehicle? Is it covered in dust, dirt, or bugs? If you’ve been putting it off, now is a good time to visit a carwash. Dust left on your vehicle for too long can start to tarnish its coat and even lead to rust and corrosion.
Check Your Heater
While our winters may not be as harsh as other areas of the country, there are still cool days that will make you want to kick your heater on. When is the last time you’ve checked to see if it’s functioning? You don’t want to find out too late that it isn’t working properly.
Change Your Oil
Your engine oil keeps your engine parts lubricated, which helps reduce excess heat and friction. If you don’t change your oil regularly, it can become compromised and lose its efficiency. Heat can even warp the parts, and you run the risk of causing complete engine failure.
Inspect Your Battery
Extreme temperatures can drastically reduce the lifespan of your battery. That leaves your battery susceptible all summer long in Phoenix. With a reduced charge, you may find your vehicle struggling to start on a cold winter day. It’s important to have your battery inspected to make sure it’s up to the challenge.
