Street Toyota - Toyota Service Center

How Often Should You Stop by Our Toyota Service Department?

Your vehicle's owner's manual will come with instructions for how often you will need particular Toyota maintenance. For example, newer cars that take synthetic engine oil often need an oil change every 5,000-10,000 miles, which amounts to about every six months for the average American. This service helps your engine to work better and lowers its chances of overheating, which has the potential to ruin the engine completely. As such, this maintenance should be a priority for any driver.

Tire rotations every six months or so are also important since your treads are likely to wear unevenly. This service will allow you to maintain control of the car more easily, decrease the risk of blowouts near Pampa, and extend the tires' life span.

While performing these other services, the technicians at our Toyota auto repair shop can assess your vehicle to see if the car needs tire balancing, wheel realignment, Toyota brake replacement, and more to help preserve your safety on the road.

What Are Signs You Should Schedule an Early Toyota Service Appointment?

Car issues are bound to pop up at random times. Therefore, stop by our Toyota repair shop near Lubbock if your "check engine" light comes on (although you can check first to see if the problem is a loose gas cap, which can be easily resolved). Other warning signs that you should take seriously include:

• Other dashboard warning lights coming on
• Dark puddles underneath your parked car
• Unusual noises (grinding or knocking from your engine, squealing or rattling from your brakes)
• Strange smells (a rotten eggs odor might emanate from your battery or a burning smell from your engine)
• Exhaust smoke
• Poor car performance (problems shifting gears, slower-than-usual braking times, or worse-than-usual fuel economy)
• Problems with your electronics (your power windows, radio, or headlights)

While many of these symptoms can have multiple causes, they are all matters of concern, and addressing them early on can stop you from winding up broken down on the side of the road or paying for more extensive repairs down the line.
