Are you dreading even the thought of having to find a new auto mechanic to help you with service and repairs for your ride? We get it. You put a huge amount of trust into a mechanic and count on them to keep your Orlando Toyota up and running in the best shape possible, so finding the right one can be a daunting task. As always, we're here to help - check out these quick tips to get the process rolling and to make it as easy as possible. Four tips for finding the right auto mechanic #1: Ask your friends and your family. Why not ask your friends, family, and coworkers which auto mechanic they use? This is a great way to get a personal referral to someone that they trust to work on their car. If they trust them, you probably can, too. #2: Do a little research online. It never hurts to put your smartphone to work, either. Do a little research online to at least narrow your auto mechanic options. You can search for repair and service shops near you and then look at things like customer reviews and testimonials, as well as the certifications that the shop has and the services that it offers. #3: Try a shop that specifically services your make. If you're stuck at a dead end, you can always look for an auto mechanic shop that services your make specifically. For example, if you were to service your Toyota at Toyota of Orlando, you could rest a little easier knowing that our techs are well-versed and certified in all things Toyota and that we'll use Genuine Toyota Parts to repair your car and KEEP it a Toyota. #4: Go for it. If all else fails, you can jump in feet first! Find a shop near you that's convenient to visit or look for a brand name you trust, and schedule an appointment. Start small with a routine auto service like an oil change or tire rotation; this will let you get a feel for the shop and the auto mechanics to see if you're comfortable with getting them on board for regular car care or bigger repairs in the future.

Is it time for you to invest in a new pair of shoes for your Orlando Toyota? We can hear you sighing all the way over here - we get it. Shopping for new car tires isn't exactly a fun task. They're expensive, you have to pay someone to install them, and there's really no way to get around replacing them. When you need new tires, you need new tires. However, it can be easier if you know what you're doing and how to navigate the process, and that's where our Orlando Toyota service center comes in. Check out these tips from our techs for shopping for new car tires. Tip #1: Make sure you actually do need new car tires. Before you drop the cash, are you really due for new car tires? This is probably a good time to have them inspected at our Toyota of Orlando service center for an expert opinion. However, if you prefer the DIY route, here are some surefire signs you're due for a new set: Age. If you've had the same set of car tires for five years, it's time to start thinking about replacing them. Just like anything else, they do wear out over time and degrade to a point where they're no longer safe to drive on. Tread depth. Take out a penny and do a tread depth test - if you stick the penny into your tire tread with Abe's head facing down, can you see the top of his head? If so, your tread is too shallow and you need a new set of car tires. Shallow tread reduces your traction and makes your chances of getting into a car accident a lot higher. Damage. Do you have obvious damage to your tires that's an impediment to their performance? We're talking punctures, sidewall separation, blisters or bulges, etc. Feel. How do your tires feel when you drive? If something feels off, don't assume automatically that your tires are the culprit. It could be another part altogether and it's worth haveing out Toyota of Orlando service techs take a look to investigate. Tip #2: Know your measurements. Before you start shopping, you need to know exactly what you're shopping for. Tires aren't one-size-fits-all; in fact, your car has very specific tire measurements that you have to stick to. Either ask our techs to give you your measurements or find them yourself in your owner's manual or on the tires themselves. The measurements should read something like "255/35R18. The first number (255) is the width of the tire in millimeters. The 35 is the aspect ratio (height to widtch), R means radial, and the 18 is the wheel diameter in inches. Make sure your new set matches up. You'll also need to shop for the right TYPE of tires - whether you're getting all-season, summer, racing, winter, or any other type, make sure they fit your car and your performance needs. Tip #3: Decide where to buy them. Where are you going to shop for new car tires? There are tons of options, and it really just depends on which fits your needs best. Here are three of the big ones: Online. You can buy pretty much anything online, including car tires. You'll have lots of options and can probably get them shipped to you quickly. The drawback? You have to find someone to install them after you arrive and if necessary, transport them to that location. A tire store. There are also dedicated tire stores where you can shop. You'll have lots of options here, too, and a specialist who can guide you to the right set. These shops can usually install them, too. However, the cost is bundled into the price of the tires and both tires and labor tend to be more expensive at these types of stores. A dealership service center. When you shop at a dealership (like here at Toyota of Orlando), you'll find plenty of options for your ride if it's the same make as the dealership. They'll also install them for you and can help you choose the specific type you need. However, if your car is a different make, you may not find what you need. Have questions or need help shopping for car tires? Call us! Toyota of Orlando's service center is open seven days a week at (407) 298-0001 and we're just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

Happy Friday the 13th! In honor of the spooky holiday, today we're talking even more weird driving superstitions that some car owners have. Let's jump into it! #1: You should scratch your new car on purpose. Some drivers believe that when you get a new car, you should purposely scratch it yourself and this will ward off car accidents, collisions, and the car getting scratched otherwise. We can't say if it works or not, but if you feel the need to scratch your new car (which we don't), be sure to do it in a place that's out of sight. #2: Don't wash off bird poop right away. It's also a driving superstition that if a bird poops on your car, you shouldn't wash it off right away. Why? Bird poop is good luck and can help keep you AND your car safe out on the road. Our thoughts? Gross, and it could damage your paint, so don't leave it on TOO long if you feel the need to keep it there for a while. #3: Honk before you enter a tunnel. Some drivers believe that you should honk before you enter a tunnel - it'll ward off evil spirits that could cause you to crash. Our take? If you must, you must - just try not to confuse other drivers when you do it. #4: Hide your thumb if you pass a funeral procession. This driving superstition comes from Japan. It's believed there that the spirits of the dead hang around their caskets for a while and if you pass an evil one lingering around a funeral procession, it could enter your body and possess you by sneaking in under your thumbnail. So if you pass a funeral procession, you should hide your thumbs from it. We say as long as you keep your hands on the wheel, have at it. #5: Don't talk about selling your car while you're sitting inside of it. In Russia, it's unlucky to discuss selling your car while you're sitting inside the cabin. Supposedly the car will "hear" you and become resentful, and things will start to break and malfunction before you can get rid of it. We get it; we'd be resentful, too. #6: Hang something to ward off evil. A lot of drivers hang some sort of lucky charm or religious emblem inside of their car to help ward off evil and keep them and their vehicle safe when out on the road. We say whether it's a rosary or a rabbit's foot, go for it. #7: Crush lemons under the wheels of your car. In India, it's thought that if you crush lemons under the wheels of your new car it will help to protect you from car accidents in the future. We say why not? Just clean up your mess afterward. #8: Be extra careful on Friday the 13th. Some drivers are so superstitious that they won't even take their cars out of the garage on Friday the 13th, considering it too unlucky of a day to even drive. In our opinion, just be careful and practice defensive driving like you would any other day of the year!

It's time for another Toyota news roundup! Our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to share the latest and greatest news surrounding our vehicles and the automotive industry. Today we're talking about the new Tundra suspension, two new Toyota hypercars, the new mobile collision assistance that's been rolled out, and the Toyota Barter program in Brazil. An all-new Toyota Tundra suspension is coming At this point, we're eagerly awaiting the BIG unveiling of the new Toyota Tundra. Toyota has been slowly and steadily dropping teaser images and tidbits of information, and this week was no exception - they dropped a photo and video of the 2022 Toyota Tundra's new and updated suspension, and the automotive world is abuzz. From what we can tell in the photos, gone are the leaf springs in the rear. Instead, Toyota chose to deck out this redesigned truck with multilink suspension and coil springs in the back. This means more comfort and better handling, especially in offroad situations. We also got an up-close-and-personal look at the skid plate, which confirms that a TRD model is in the works. We'll keep you posted for more updates! Pay for a Toyota with soybeans Cars aren't cheap no matter how you look at it - they're a big investment, but a very necessary one. That's why Toyota established the Toyota Barter Program back in 2019. Through it, farmers in other countries can bring their crops to a third-party company called NovaAgri that will ensure the crops were farmed sustainably and then hand over the keys to a new Toyota. Farmers can choose from the Toyota Hilux truck, the new Toyota Corolla Cross, and the SW4 SUV. This program has been expanded and will now accept corn and soybeans from Brazilian farmers as barter. Toyota preps for Le Mans with two new hypercars Le Mans test day is coming and Toyota took its two hypercars out on the track for a final systems check before the big day, which then segues into race week and the FIA World Endurance Championship later in August. Each car did 200km of the circuit with Brendon Hartley and Kamui Kobayashi at the wheel. Despite rain delaying the checks a bit, both cars passed with flying colors and will be taking to the track for the Le Mans test day soon. Toyota rolls out Mobile Collision Assistance Remember how we told you that you needed to download the Toyota app? We're saying it again, because Toyota is rolling out mobile collision assistance. Through this new tech, Toyota will help you navigate the aftermath of a car accident. Once you've confirmed that you and your passengers are OK, it helps you to collect the right documentation for the accident, submit your claim to your car insurance, and then choose a collision center for auto repairs. It literally walks you through the entire process step-by-step because we all know that a car accident is stressful enough - you shouldn't have to stress the repairs afterward.

The Orlando Toyota Avalon has been a much-loved car over the decades because of its sleek sophistication and unbeatable performance, both of which were taken to an all-new level during the 2018 redesign. However, it looks like it might be the end of the road for this classic Toyota - rumor has it that it's being retired after the 2022 model year, and our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to take a look into why that rumor just may be true. Is next year the last we'll see of the Toyota Avalon? Over the past few years, there's been a shift in the automotive market. Drivers have been leaning more toward SUVs of all sizes when it comes down to signing the dotted line; while favorites like the Orlando Toyota Camry and Corolla are still popular options, other sedans - like the Toyota Avalon - have lost a bit of their luster. They're just not as popular anymore, and when you couple that with the fact that the Toyota Avalon is a more expensive luxury option, it leads to a drop in demand. While sales for 2020 were higher than expected, the need for a large luxury sedan is waning. On top of that, the plant in Georgetown, Kentucky is reportedly planning on ending its production and assembly of this Orlando Toyota. And while Toyota has confirmed nothing about the fate of the Toyota Avalon, they also left it until the last minute to announce the retirement of the Toyota Land Cruiser so we've got a gut feeling that this new Toyota sedan is about to be put out to pasture. Rumor also has it that similar to the Toyota Land Cruiser, this Toyota sedan will be discontinued in the US but still sold overseas (specifically in China) after 2022. This new Toyota has come a long way It's been a good run, though. Here are some of the highlights from the history of this iconic Orlando Toyota car: The Toyota Avalon was first introduced to the market back in 1994; it was meant to replace the Toyota Cressida, which was retired around the same time. The Cressida had a straight 6 cylinder engine and the new Toyota Avalon was introduced with a 4-cylinder, offering drivers a more fuel-efficient option. It's named as such because of the legend of King Arthur - in this tale, "Avalon" was a land of enchantment where everything was perfect and dreamlike. There have been five generations in total of this classic sedan; over time, hybrid models were introduced to the lineup and even an edgy new TRD edition in the past few years. It's safe to say that while the initial design was somewhat basic, this Orlando Toyota quickly became a solid luxury option with sophisticated style and the best technology out there. If you're reading into the rumors like we are, now would be a good time to get your hands on this 2021 Toyota. Test drive it and see it in person at Toyota of Orlando! We're open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall. You can call ahead of time to learn more and schedule your appointment at (407) 298-4500.

Are you thinking about joining the many, many drivers who have chosen to put an SUV in the driveway? There are so many options available, and we know it can be a bit challenging to find the perfect one. That's where we come in - at our Orlando Toyota dealership, we have a great selection of new Toyota SUVs to shop. And today we're comparing one of our most popular models to its competition - see how the 2021 Toyota RAV4 compares to the 2021 Nissan Rogue. How do these two models compare when it comes to the details? Let's start with the basics. The 2021 Toyota RAV4 comes in seven different models and offers three drivetrains to choose from, including one hybrid drivetrain. Obviously, this lends a ton of customization to the driver. The 2021 Nissan Rogue comes in four models and only has one drivetrain option. Both SUVs offer seating for five inside plus a cargo area. Both offer front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The 2021 Toyota RAV4 has a base MSRP of $26,150. While the 2021 Nissan Rogue's starting MSRP is a bit cheaper at $25,750, it's actually cheaper to buy a RAV4 as you climb through the trim levels and consider all of the features you want. Now let's get a bit farther into the details. The 2021 Toyota RAV4 certainly offers more customization, but that's not the only edge it has over its Nissan competition. Here are a few points to consider: This Orlando Toyota SUV offers a TRD Off-Road model with TRD-tuned suspension, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and fog lights. Nissan has no comparable model. Both of these popular SUVs offer a three-year/36,000 mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty. In terms of cargo space, if you put all of the rear seats down the Nissan SUV has about five more cubic feet of space. However, if you have passengers in the backseat and are just relying on the basic rear cargo area, the Toyota SUV pulls ahead with 36.5 cubic feet of cargo space, as compared to Nissan's 31.6 cubic feet. Both of these new SUVs have plush and comfortable interiors with available options like soft-touch materials, edgy accents, and an open and ergonomic design. In terms of tech, however, the Orlando Toyota pulls ahead. Both of these SUVs have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard, but ours edges out in front with features like Amazon Alexa and a Wifi hotspot, as well as a responsive touchscreen interface (some have complained that the Rogue's touchscreen is slow to respond).

Are you thinking about joining the many, many drivers who have chosen to put an SUV in the driveway? There are so many options available, and we know it can be a bit challenging to find the perfect one. That's where we come in - at our Orlando Toyota dealership, we have a great selection of new Toyota SUVs to shop. And today we're comparing one of our most popular models to its competition - see how the 2021 Toyota RAV4 compares to the 2021 Nissan Rogue. How do these two models compare when it comes to the details? Let's start with the basics. The 2021 Toyota RAV4 comes in seven different models and offers three drivetrains to choose from, including one hybrid drivetrain. Obviously, this lends a ton of customization to the driver. The 2021 Nissan Rogue comes in four models and only has one drivetrain option. Both SUVs offer seating for five inside plus a cargo area. Both offer front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The 2021 Toyota RAV4 has a base MSRP of $26,150. While the 2021 Nissan Rogue's starting MSRP is a bit cheaper at $25,750, it's actually cheaper to buy a RAV4 as you climb through the trim levels and consider all of the features you want. Now let's get a bit farther into the details. The 2021 Toyota RAV4 certainly offers more customization, but that's not the only edge it has over its Nissan competition. Here are a few points to consider: This Orlando Toyota SUV offers a TRD Off-Road model with TRD-tuned suspension, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and fog lights. Nissan has no comparable model. Both of these popular SUVs offer a three-year/36,000 mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty. In terms of cargo space, if you put all of the rear seats down the Nissan SUV has about five more cubic feet of space. However, if you have passengers in the backseat and are just relying on the basic rear cargo area, the Toyota SUV pulls ahead with 36.5 cubic feet of cargo space, as compared to Nissan's 31.6 cubic feet. Both of these new SUVs have plush and comfortable interiors with available options like soft-touch materials, edgy accents, and an open and ergonomic design.
