With preventative maintenance, you regularly have your car serviced to reduce the risk of parts failing. Routine tasks like oil changes, tire rotation, brake inspections, and topping up fluids may seem small but are enormously important for the overall health of your vehicle. Let's take a look at six good reasons why it's important to never miss a day of scheduled maintenance at your helpful Toyota dealership. Avoid Costly Repairs If you miss a single oil change, it might cause the engine to overheat, which can potentially cause catastrophic damage. Likewise, failing to rotate your tires can result in harm to the wheel alignment, suspension, wheel bearings, and more. more By having these small but essential maintenance tasks carried out as scheduled, you're saving your car from all kinds of serious repair jobs. Over the years, this can save you a good deal of money on repairs. Nip Problems in the Bud Many common car problems gradually worsen and only become expensive repairs when they've been allowed to progress. With routine maintenance, the technicians find and fix problems while they're still small. This is a key benefit of routine maintenance. Maintain Peak Performance If separate parts of a car are allowed to wear down, the overall performance of the vehicle also diminishes. Regular maintenance keeps your car running smoothly and efficiently for longer. Even your gas mileage is improved by routine servicing. Stay Safer on the Road Mechanical failure is an unfortunately common cause of road accidents. When a car's brakes, headlights, tires, and other parts are allowed to fall into disrepair, you never know when something might fail. As such, routine maintenance is one of the most important things you can do to keep yourself and your passengers safe on the road. Extend Your Car's Lifespan Regular maintenance also extends a vehicle's longevity. If all the various components of a car are kept in optimal condition for as long as possible, the overall lifespan of the car increases. Routine maintenance can easily provide you with several more years of good vehicle performance, saving you the cost of replacing your car. Increase Resale Value Buyers of pre-owned cars are well aware of how important routine maintenance is. This is why it's important to keep the documentation that proves your car has been well-maintained over the years by qualified technicians. If you've missed any routine vehicle maintenance, the resale value of your car may drop. Ask Your Toyota Dealer About Scheduled Maintenance The easiest way to keep your car in tip-top condition is to arrange scheduled maintenance at a trusted dealership with a reliable system of reminders. This way, you have peace of mind knowing you'll never miss an important maintenance task or tune-up. Visit Priority Toyota of Chesapeake today to have your car serviced by experienced technicians. At our full-service dealership, we have an unwavering dedication to providing exceptional service in all that we do.

Brake pads are a key component in your braking system as they generate friction that slows and stops your wheels. These pads gradually wear down or become damaged, and they'll need to be replaced – which can be done easily at your trusted Toyota dealer. Here are some tips on when your pads should be replaced to ensure your braking system always works effectively. What Are Pads? The pads fit into the brake calipers, and a caliper is attached above each wheel rotor. When you hit the brakes, brake fluid generates hydraulic pressure that forces the calipers to close on the moving rotors. The pads fit inside the calipers and generate friction against the smooth rotors that bring the wheels to a stop. more New pads have a 1/2" thick material covering, which slowly wears down each time you apply the brakes. When the material covering degrades to 1/4" thick, the pad needs replacement. How Often Do Pads Need Replacement? On average, pads need to be replaced every 40,000 to 70,000 miles. The approximate time for replacement for your Toyota model is listed in your car manual. The replacement time can vary depending on several factors, including driving conditions and your driving style. If you frequently ride your brake, for example, the pads will wear out faster. Signs You Need Replacement Pads You'll always receive warnings that your pads are wearing out – these are a few signs that they need to be changed. Screeching Noises A high-pitched screeching when you hit the brakes is an obvious sign that the pads need replacement. As we've seen, your pads need to be replaced when their material covering is reduced to 1/4" thickness. When this happens, a metal spike inside the pads will become visible. The spike will scratch against the rotors as a warning that the pads need to be changed. Grinding Noises A harsh grinding noise from the brakes can mean that a stone or another object is trapped in the brake caliper. This sound could also mean that your pads have worn down completely. Once the material covering has gone, the metal of the brake calipers will be in direct contact with the wheel rotors when you brake. The calipers will continue to gouge the surface of the rotors until the pads are replaced. Warning Light Illuminates When the pads are wearing down and need replacement, sensors connected to the pads will send a warning to your car's computer. The computer will identify the message, and the pad warning light on the dash will illuminate. The warning light will usually illuminate before you experience any strange sounds from the pads. If your pads have worn down, call the service department right away at Priority Toyota Chesapeake. Our experienced service technicians will replace all necessary parts and get you back on the road, safely and quickly!

Most of your Toyota's systems depend on electricity to function. As time passes, wires can fray or break, or an electrical component can fail, which results in electrical problems. Fortunately, your reliable Toyota dealer can fix these issues for you! These are a few examples of some possible electrical system problems that we can solve for you. Worn Alternator The alternator generates all of the electrical power for your car. It produces this electricity by converting mechanical energy generated by the turning of the crankshaft into DC for your car's systems. On average, an alternator will work quietly and efficiently for up to eight years. An aging alternator will gradually slow down and this reduces its electricity generation. more When electricity production slows down, your car will start to develop issues like increasingly random electrical failures, dim lights, and even starting problems. These problems may also be accompanied by grinding, whining, or other strange sounds. If you experience any of these problems, our technicians will test your alternator, and we can install a new one if necessary. Damaged Wiring Wiring is essential for transmitting electricity from the alternator to the systems that require it. Unfortunately, wiring is fragile and can become worn or damaged over time. The wiring in your car is protected by plastic insulation, but the wires are still subject to strain due to the heat and constant passage of electricity through them. Older wiring can break due to fatigue, and this will cut off power to one or more systems. Without power, the affected systems will shut down. The check battery light on your dash will illuminate to warn of the problem. Our Toyota-trained technicians can expertly trace the failed wiring and replace it to fix this problem. ECU Problems Your car's computer, also known as the engine control unit (ECU), controls most of your car's functions. It's served by sensors that constantly relay information to it. The information it receives is used to manage your car's essential functions, like the correct fuel-air mix, engine timing, and others. ECUs have been a part of all cars since the 1980s, and your car requires a healthy ECU to work. An ECU problem is usually caused by a fault in the electrical supply, not a failure of the ECU itself. Corroded electrical connections, electrical shorts, and other issues can cause the ECU to fail. Without this vital component, your engine won't start, and none of your car's systems will work. We'll examine the ECU and its connections and either replace it if it's damaged or fix the issue that's caused it to shut down. If you suspect an electrical problem, call us right away at Priority Toyota of Chesapeake. Our expert technicians will diagnose and repair the problem in no time, getting you back on the road and headed towards your next adventure quickly!
