The key to proper car maintenance is regular services at the recommended intervals from qualified technicians. If you drive your Toyota RAV4, Corolla, or Tacoma on the roads in and around Hillsboro, OR, follow the maintenance tips below, and we guarantee that your vehicle will be reliable, fuel-efficient, and safe. 

1. Stick to the Maintenance Intervals

Toyota recommends general maintenance services, including oil changes, brake inspections,  battery tests, and tire rotations every 5,000 miles or six months to ensure your vehicle stays in top running condition. Everything you need to know about your car’s service schedule and maintenance intervals is in your owner’s manual. You can also ask one of our Toyota technicians for more information.

Oil Changes

How often your car will need new oil depends on the engine type, the type of oil your vehicle uses, and where and how you drive your car. We recommend using Genuine Toyota and Mobil 1 Synthetic Motor Oils to lubricate your engine properly, improve your car’s fuel efficiency, extend the life of your engine, and ensure optimal performance.

Brake Inspections

Avoid those high-pitched squealing and awful grinding noises with regular brake inspections from our qualified Toyota technicians. They use genuine Toyota brake components specifically made for your Toyota that provide superior braking power to keep you safe behind the wheel.

Battery Inspections and Tests

Regular battery inspections and tests, especially when your battery is older than three years, are crucial. Over time batteries deteriorate and have to be replaced. When your Toyota needs a new battery, ask for a Toyota TrueStart battery, an approved battery for warranty repair that guarantees long-lasting performance.

Tire Rotations and Inspections

When our technicians rotate your car’s tires every time they change the oil, all four tires will wear evenly and last longer. You will not have to buy new tires as often, saving you money. During each rotation, the technician will also check the tread depth, inspect each tire for damage, and inflate them to the proper pressure levels. 

2. Rely on Toyota Express Maintenance Services

We make taking care of your car’s maintenance needs affordable and hassle-free with Toyota Express Maintenance. You don’t need to schedule an appointment, drop by when it’s convenient for you, and our express service team will change the oil, check the battery, inspect the brakes, and perform a tire rotation in no time to get you back on the road fast.
