Does your day-to-day commute entail you hitting the highway for at least part of your drive time? If so, then you know it's a whole different ballgame than driving in the city or in suburbia. It can be intimidating - you're moving at high speeds and during rush hour you may also face major congestion (hello, I-4). Toyota of Orlando wants to help! We're here with tips to help you be a better safe driver on the highway. Be a better safe driver on the highway Tip #1: Know how to merge. Merging is tricky even at the best of times, and it can be downright dangerous in heavy traffic. Be sure to use your turn signals to indicate your movements and move with the flow of traffic - don't zoom ahead and cut people off, and don't go so slowly that you cause traffic to build up. Tip #2: Follow the speed limit. Everyone knows that there's a maximum speed limit on the highway (which you should abide by), but there's ALSO a minimum speed limit. It's typically listed and it's illegal for you to drive under that limit because it can slow up the flow of traffic and cause an accident. Tip #3: Don't engage in distracted driving. Distracted driving is dangerous enough in itself, but when you engage in distractions at high speeds, it's even more dangerous. Put away your phone, keep your hands on the wheel, and keep your eyes on the road. You'll be a better safe driver for it. Tip #4: Check your blind spots. Before you change lanes or make movements on the highway, be sure to check your blind spots. Cars are traveling at a higher rate of speed and can creep into those blind spots quickly. Tip #5: Avoid pulling over if you can help it. If you HAVE to pull over, do it - but only in an emergency. It's dangerous to pull over on a highway because the cars are moving so quickly. Our Orlando Toyota dealership recommends trying to make it to the next exit if possible. Tip #6: Know how to react to emergency vehicles. If an ambulance is passing you on the highway with its sirens on, you should get into the right lane and slow down - but DON'T stop. Most safe drivers don't even realize this! Stopping can put you in a dangerous position. Tip #7: Use the left lane for passing. The left lane is used for PASSING on the highway so people can get by slower drivers. You should drive in the right lanes but only use the left lane for passing - don't sit in it, as you could be slowing down other drivers behind you. Let Toyota of Orlando get your car highway-ready Want to be a better safe driver on the highway? Another big part of that is keeping your car in excellent shape when it comes to car maintenance.

Here at Toyota of Orlando, we know we sell the best of the best when it comes to cars. We know that Toyotas are globally appreciated for their safety, their reliability, their unbeatable performance records, and their cutting-edge technology for both safety and convenience. However, we're probably biased. It's a good thing Consumer Reports agrees with us, right? Which new Toyotas are top 10 placeholders? The organization recently released their 10 Best Cars of the Year list for 2019 and Toyota took four of the 10 categories without even batting an eye (and let us also point out that no other make managed to snag more than one category with the exception of Subaru, which claimed two). Toyota of Orlando has the scoop on why our new Toyotas are dominating when it comes to the best cars on the market this year - check it out. Here are the four categories that Toyota won: Large Car, Toyota Avalon Hybrid Subcompact Car, Toyota Yaris Hybrid/Electric Car, Toyota Prius Midsized Car, Toyota Camry Hybrid And the victories were hard fought. After all, Consumer Reports doesn't designate a car as one of the best 10 in the nation lightly. It takes into consideration four main categories - safety, road-test performance, owner satisfaction, and predicted reliability. All vehicles on the list were required to have certain features, including automatic emergency braking. The reviewers also looked at factors like fuel efficiency, convenience, braking, handling, and comfort inside the cabin. Additionally, Consumer Reports examined each car's score when it comes to government and insurance company crash tests. Toyota also had to edge out the competition to claim these four spots. More than 50 cars were tested by Consumer Reports and the organization also analyzed data from Auto Survey, which collects information on close to 470,000 vehicles. In their words, the vehicles that are chosen to be the top 10 "set the standard for the industry". See each of these new Toyotas in person at Toyota of Orlando So, what does each of these new Toyotas have to offer? Here's a quick rundown of the four that snagged top 10 spots. Toyota Avalon Hybrid: This is a hybrid model of the luxurious original Toyota, a sedan renowned for its comfortable interior, top technology, sleek style, and polished features. Toyota Yaris: If you want a new Toyota that's efficient, sporty, and fun, then the Orlando Toyota Yaris is your solution. It's available in both sedan and liftback models and gets 30/37 mpg to save you big bucks at the gas pump. Toyota Prius: The hybrid that started it all. This new Toyota is best known for kicking off the hybrid car revolution and is a fan favorite due to its innovative technology both inside the cabin and under the hood. Plus, its performance is as green as it gets. Toyota Camry Hybrid: This model is the hybrid version of our best-selling classic - the Toyota Camry. It's renowned for its sophistication, quiet and comfortable cabin, and incredible performance capabilities across the nation.

Spring break is coming! Universities and schools across the country will be calling off classes in a matter of weeks, the weather is warming up, and it's time to hit the road for a spring break road trip. Is your car ready to hit the highway? Don't run the risk of wasting your beach days stuck on the road with a flat tire or dead battery - use our Toyota of Orlando spring break road trip checklist to get your car prepped for the best vacation ever. Make your spring break road trip the best one yet #1: Get your tires checked. The last thing you want is a flat tire or a blowout when you're heading for the highway. Have our Orlando auto service techs check your car's tires. They'll look for things like uneven wear, bulges or blisters, lack of tread, and inflation level to ensure they're at the correct PSI. They can also do a quick tire rotation for you if you're due for one. #2: Have our auto service techs inspect your battery. Dead batteries are a real drag, especially when you're trying to make the most of your week off. Have our techs check things out under the hood before you tackle your road trip! They'll inspect your car battery for any visible damage (like swelling, rusting, or leaks) and test the voltage to ensure it's up to the challenge. If it's not, they can also quickly, efficiently, and affordably replace your battery on the spot. #3: Change your car's oil. Oil keeps your car's engine cool and lubricated, which is essential when you're on a road trip and you're traveling long distances at high speeds. Your engine is going to be working overtime, so make sure it has fresh, clean oil in the oil reservoir. Our techs will check the oil level and cleanliness and get you a quick oil change if necessary. #4: Don't ignore your headlights and wipers. We hope for your sake that it doesn't rain on your spring break getaway, but you should be prepared for it just in case (spring is unpredictable!). Check your wiper blades to ensure they're in good condition, and have our techs check out your headlights to ensure all the bulbs are in good shape and your turn signals, brake lights, and hazard lights are all working. #5: Make sure your fluid levels are where they should be. Before you take on the open road, check out the fluids under the hood. Two big ones are coolant and windshield wiper fluid - coolant keeps your car running cool when it's working hard, and you need wiper fluid to keep your field of vision clear. While you're at Toyota of Orlando, have our expert techs check ALL of the fluids in your car so you're all set. Let Toyota of Orlando get you road trip ready Don't risk ruining your spring break - swing by Toyota of Orlando to ensure you're ready to hit the road before you go! We're open seven days a week with the longest service hours in Central Florida and we're ready to get you out on the highway. Visit us at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall!

The 2020 Toyota Corolla is coming - it'll be at Toyota of Orlando a lot sooner than you think, and we can't wait for you to get behind the wheel of this redesigned sedan. Not only is it bringing a new look, a more comfortable interior, and updated technology to the table, it'll also offer an all-new hybrid model so you can enjoy its sporty style while also going green and saving money on gas. Toyota of Orlando is here with the scoop - check out these 10 things you want to know about the 2020 Toyota Corolla before you slide into the driver's seat. Meet the new 2020 Toyota Corolla 1) The exterior looks pretty different (but still sportily stylish). The new 2020 Toyota Corolla will feature a lower stance, new fender flares, a wider wheelbase, and a lower hood. Aero stabilizing fins and a chin spoiler were added to some models, and new LED lighting schemes up the sophistication factor. Plus, you'll love the new paint colors called Celestite and Blueprint. 2) Bigger wheels are up for grabs for the 2020 model year. For the first time ever, you can drive home on new 18" wheels with multispoke alloys (and there are tons of other alloy wheel options available on this Orlando Toyota). 3) Elegance and ergonomics take precedence inside the cabin. The cabin has been redesigned to be more comfortable and sophisticated. You'll find that the instrument panel, sightline, and hood have all been lowered for better visibility. High-gloss and matte materials are mixed for a sporty look and this Orlando Toyota also showcases ambient lighting, silver and piano gloss black accents, SofTex seating, and new interior color schemes. 4) Your drive time will be a lot quieter. The 2020 Toyota Corolla trims down noise from the road and powertrain thanks to new sound-absorbing materials in the sealants, foams, and silencers. 5) Staying cool this summer will be a breeze. The A/C system in this new 2020 Toyota has been completely redesigned to be more compact and efficient - for example, it now minimizes windshield fogging by pointing dehumidified fresh air to the ceiling. 6) Hot new tech is integrated into your drive time. You'll love having features like Amazon Alexa, Apple CarPlay, Scout GPS Link, Safety Connect Services, Wifi Connect, Bluetooth wireless streaming, and optional JBL audio, all accessible via an 8" touchscreen. Don't miss everything this Orlando Toyota will have to offer 7) A new engine is available for better efficiency and performance. The 2020 Toyota Corolla will offer its standard 1.8L engine, but a new 2.0L Dynamic Force direct injection inline four-cylinder option that uses less fuel and produces more power. 8) You can go green in a hybrid model for the first time ever. Save fuel AND the planet in a new hybrid model. This Toyota hybrid will feature a 1.8L engine, the aforementioned redesigned A/C, and an exhaust heat recirculation system so it can stop the engine sooner and use less energy. 9) More Corollas will be assembled in the US. This car is already assembled at a plant in Mississippi. However, since more models will now be available, a new plant will be opened in Huntsville, Alabama. 10) It has a starting MSRP of just $19,500. Boom. We'll let you know when it arrives - follow us on social media and give Toyota of Orlando a call at (407) 298-4500 for more info!

Engine damage is a scary thought. It can mean expensive repairs, time in the shop (which means rental car fees) and an overall big inconvenience to your daily life. However, you don't need to stress - with the proper maintenance and precautions, engine damage is avoidable! Check out these tips straight from our Orlando Toyota service techs on how to prevent this situation from occurring under your hood. Use these 4 tips to prevent expensive auto repairs Tip #1: Never ignore your check engine light. Your check engine light comes on for a reason - it doesn't just light up for fun or to make your dash look brighter. When you see the light come on, your first step should be to check your gas cap. Sometimes if it's not tightened enough, the check engine light will be triggered. However, if it's screwed in tightly and you're still seeing the light glow, it's time to bring your car in for Orlando auto service. You may have an issue with your fuel injection system, your emissions system, your ignition, and more... and the longer you wait, the worse the damage can get! Tip #2: Don't turn up the radio to drown out off sounds. Don't try to ignore troublesome sounds by turning up the music (it's tempting, we know). Your car typically runs smoothly and quietly, and odd noises can mean something is going on under the hood. Rumbling, knocking, squealing, hissing, and rattling can all mean big issues in terms of engine damage and ignoring them isn't going to help the situation. Remember to periodically turn down the music and see how the car sounds so you can pinpoint anything that seems out of the ordinary immediately. Tip #3: Pay attention to smells inside the car. The interior of your car should smell good (especially if you're doing your due diligence and detailing it on a regular basis). If it smells like gasoline, hot oil, mildew, syrup, rotten eggs, or burning carpet, then you've got an issue with your auto service that should be addressed immediately to avoid engine damage. Tip #4: Handle smoke or steam immediately. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Don't ever ignore smoke or steam coming out of your engine bay. It can mean your car is overheating, oil or gasoline is leaking, or there's a problem with your emissions system. Bring your ride into Toyota of Orlando for service today. Let Toyota of Orlando get you on a routine car maintenance schedule On top of being vigilant about all of these things, keep your car on a routine Orlando car maintenance schedule to avoid engine damage. By keeping all the parts well-maintained and getting routine multi-point inspections, you're a lot less likely to have problems throughout ownership. Let our techs get you on a schedule based on your vehicle's needs. Have questions about engine damage or want to get your ride on a routine maintenance schedule!

Your check engine light comes on for a reason - it doesn't just light up for fun or to make your dash look brighter. When you see the light come on, your first step should be to check your gas cap. Sometimes if it's not tightened enough, the check engine light will be triggered. However, if it's screwed in tightly and you're still seeing the light glow, it's time to bring your car in for Orlando auto service. You may have an issue with your fuel injection system, your emissions system, your ignition, and more... and the longer you wait, the worse the damage can get! Tip #2: Don't turn up the radio to drown out off sounds. Don't try to ignore troublesome sounds by turning up the music (it's tempting, we know). Your car typically runs smoothly and quietly, and odd noises can mean something is going on under the hood. Rumbling, knocking, squealing, hissing, and rattling can all mean big issues in terms of engine damage and ignoring them isn't going to help the situation. Remember to periodically turn down the music and see how the car sounds so you can pinpoint anything that seems out of the ordinary immediately. Tip #3: Pay attention to smells inside the car. The interior of your car should smell good (especially if you're doing your due diligence and detailing it on a regular basis). If it smells like gasoline, hot oil, mildew, syrup, rotten eggs, or burning carpet, then you've got an issue with your auto service that should be addressed immediately to avoid engine damage. Tip #4: Handle smoke or steam immediately. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Don't ever ignore smoke or steam coming out of your engine bay. It can mean your car is overheating, oil or gasoline is leaking, or there's a problem with your emissions system. Bring your ride into Toyota of Orlando for service today.
