Tire Air Pressure

Next to the brakes, the tires are the most important safety features on the vehicle. Incorrect tire pressure will compromise stability, braking and cornering and can possibly lead to tire failure — and a serious accident. Incorrect tire pressure also will affect your comfort, fuel economy and tire life.

Guest Relations Manager Bob Holloway talks about how to check your tire air pressure, using a 2011 Camry to demonstrate:

How to Put Air in Your Tires

Now that you have checked your tire pressure, you will need to know how to properly put air in your tires.

Here, Bob demonstrates adding and releasing air using a tire pressure gage:

Checking Your Tire Tread Depth

Proper tread depth prevents hydroplaning and helps with optimal traction on the road. Bob gives an easy tip to make sure your tires are road ready:

Checking the Engine Fluids

A peek under the hood may seem like a complicated mess of hoses, wires, blocks and belts. While some vehicle maintenance should generally be left to the professionals, there are a few things that you can easily take care of yourself.

In this video, Bob talks about checking your fluids: brake fluid, engine oil, coolant or antifreeze, and power steering fluid.

The Engine Light Is On!

Possibly the most misunderstood indicator on the dashboard, the “check engine” light can mean many different things, from a loose gas cap to a misfiring engine. If your light comes on, you don’t need to pull over and call a tow truck, but you should get the car checked out as soon as possible.

Ignore the warning, and you could end up damaging expensive components. It also can be a sign that your car is getting poor fuel economy and emitting higher levels of pollutants.

Bob discusses what to do when your engine light comes on:

You’ve seen the commercials. The wife opens a small box with a sparkling key tucked inside, gasps, and races outside to find her dream car – a Toyota FJ Cruiser – decorated with a big, red bow. Should you even consider making this fantasy a reality this holiday season? Emotions and holiday cheer aside – does buying a car this time of year make sense?

End of the year is a good time for a great deal in the auto biz

Unlike other products that see their prices fall after the holidays, before the holidays is the best time to purchase a car, whether it be a Toyota Sienna minivan, a Toyota Camry sedan, a Toyota Highlander SUV, or a Toyota Tundra truck. Yearly quotas are due, dealers need to reduce their inventory, and it’s a relatively slow time. Most dealers will have their most aggressive pricing, and the salesmen will have plenty of time to attend to your needs. Also, the new models are coming out, so there is added incentive to move this year’s models.

Choose a dealer who wants to make the process easy for you

It’s holiday time, so you really don’t need to add stress to your plate. Choose a dealer with an easy trade-in process. A good dealer will have a trade-in value estimator on their website. You can also initiate your search online, and do all of the inquiries via email. Being clear about exactly what choices you have will make the buying process much smoother, and again, save you valuable time.

Choose a dealer with a large inventory to save time

You won’t want to be driving all over your city to check out the different models you are researching. Choose a dealer with a variety of brands and with a huge inventory. You want choices.

Details to consider

If you need to hide the car until Christmas, ask your dealer to keep it at their lot until you are ready to arrange a pick up. Getting a car for Christmas is a big deal, and usually gets a big reaction. Be prepared with your camera or video to capture the look of surprise. And just in case she/he had their heart set on another color, be sure to discuss with your dealer the return policy.

Have a wonderful holiday season!

Milton Ruben Toyota of Augusta

Milton Ruben Toyota of Augusta is located in Augusta, GA.

If shopping for a used Toyota – from a dealer or private party – makes you second guess the trustworthiness of the seller and the reliability of the vehicle, there may be a better solution. Look into  a Toyota dealer who also operates a Toyota Certified Used Car program. These programs are operated jointly by Toyota and the dealer, and guarantee the quality, condition, and future long life of the car, truck, crossover, or SUV in the program.

What to Expect from Toyota Certified Used Vehicles

• According to Autodata Corp., over 2 million have been sold in America
• 3 month or 3000 mile Comprehensive Warranty
• 7 year or 100,000 mile Limited Powertrain Warranty
• 7 year or 100,000 mile Roadside Assistance
• 160 point Quality Assurance Inspection
• CARFAX Vehicle History Report

Take a closer look at the 160 point inspection, warranty, and roadside assistance.

If your car is due for an oil change, tune-up, or other regular service, go ahead and make your appointment now – ahead of the last minute crowd.

If time is tight, Milton Ruben Toyota Scion – an automotive group located in Augusta, GA – recommends that you do at least three things:

Check your fluids. Engine oil, brake fluid, windshield wiper fluid, antifreeze or coolant, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid.

Check your tires. Do they have bulges, bald spots, or uneven treads? Are they properly inflated according to the recommendations in your owner’s manual?

Check the hoses and belts. Look for frays, leaks and loose or missing clamps. You don’t want to find out on the side of the road – with a car load of kids – that you have a much bigger problem!

If the idea of locating all of these fluids, belts and hoses- much less making a sound judgement on the reliability of them – seems daunting, trust your local service department to get your car into top shape for you. You can even ask for or find service coupons on your service department’s website. Let them ensure that your car is safe and road ready, while you focus on driving to your destination worry free!

Happy Travels!
