Tips for Saving Money on Repairs for Your Toyota

For some, going to the shop is just as terrifying as going to the dentist or the doctor. Going to the repair shop doesn’t have to be scary, and it shouldn’t hurt your wallet either. If you want to cut your repair costs, we have a few tips for a pain-free trip to the service shop.

• Stay up-to-date on maintenance

Consult your owner’s manual for regular maintenance and service schedules. Regular maintenance is the number-one way to protect yourself from expensive repairs in the future. During regular maintenance and service, the team performs an inspection to make sure there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. It is better to catch issues early before they blow up into costly breakdowns. Toyota consumers have it good with free maintenance for 2 years or 25,000 miles with the purchase of any new Toyota vehicle. Talk to us about ToyotaCare on your next new purchase.

• Consider doing a few things yourself

If you are mechanically inclined, do your oil changes and check your fluids on your own. Many small maintenance tasks can be performed at home.

• Work with a certified mechanic

Avoiding costly repairs in the future can begin with choosing the right mechanic in the first place. If you do not go to the dealership, ensure the mechanic at the shop you use is ASE Certified. It is also a good idea to read reviews online first before head to the shop.

• Ask about warranties

You want to work only with a shop that offers warranties on the work, the parts, and the service. If there is no guarantee, walk out. Our service department extends such warranties on the service, repairs and parts, and we use only genuine parts on your vehicle for added peace of mind.

• Choose Toyota

When it comes to reliability and low cost-to-own, Toyota continues to receive industry awards and recognition for its continued commitment to reliability and affordability.
