You want your car brakes to be in the best condition possible at all times - after all, they're the car part that brings you to a safe stop when you need it most. That's why it's critical that you stay on top of brake service at Toyota of Orlando AND be able to realize when your braking system is having issues. The good news is our techs are here to help - today we're talking some of the most common car brake issues and what they mean. Read on! 5 common car brake issues Issue: Your car shudders or shakes when you brake. If you hit the brakes and your Orlando Toyota shudders or shakes, it means there's an issue with your rotors. It could be that they're damaged from excessive heat (like when your brake pads get too thin), or that they have buildup on the surface that's giving them a warped shape. Either way, our auto service techs can either resurface or clean them so it's smooth sailing when you use your car brakes. Issue: Your pedal "sinks" to the floor when you're holding it. Does your pedal seem to sink down to the floor when you're holding it at a stoplight? This car brake issue can indicate that your brake pressure is low and you have an issue with your master cylinder. It could be something as small as a seal that needs to be replaced or a leak somewhere, but it's worth letting our Orlando auto service techs take a look under the hood. Issue: Your brake pedal feels soft. Does it feel like your brakes are soft or squishy when you press them? This can be indicative of several different issues, including a brake fluid leak, a problem with the master cylinder, a blown brake line, a bad wheel bearing, and more. Let our Orlando car brake specialists pinpoint the issue to save you time and money and get you back out on the road as quickly as possible. Issue: Your brake pedal is harder to push than usual. If you feel like you have to press the brake pedal much harder than you usually do to get your car to slow or stop, then you have a problem. Typically this issue stems from things like overworn brake pads, a problem with a vacuum hose, a seized up caliper, or a bad power booster. None of these are things you can usually fix DIY style, so visit Toyota of Orlando's service center. Issue: Your brake pedal won't stop braking. Does it feel like your brake pedal is still braking even after you release it? If your brakes aren't disengaging, it means you might have a problem with your calipers seizing, a clog in the master cylinder, a pinched brake line, or a problem with the parking brake cable. Let Toyota of Orlando get you back on the road today Regardless of what car brake issues you're having, we've got you covered. Come visit us! Toyota of Orlando's auto service center is open seven days a week for your convenience at 3575 Vineland Road. Call us at (407) 298-4500 to schedule your appointment!

Are you trying to get your ride back into like-new condition but on a budget when it comes to car detailing supplies? We're here to help! We offer affordable car supplies at our Orlando Toyota parts store, but we're also here to share budget-friendly car cleaning hacks to get your ride into the best shape possible without having to break the bank. Check it out! Easy hacks for car cleaning Washing your car We know that when you're on a budget, the last thing you want to spend money on is car cleaning supplies like expensive auto soap. However, resist the temptation to use regular dish soap on your vehicle. The harsh chemicals in it can actually do more harm than good to your paint, so it's best to instead mix some hair conditioner with water if you're washing your car on the cheap. It'll actually help your car repel water and give it a nice, shiny finish. Win-win! Cleaning the interior Sprays formulated for the interior of your car are nice, but not absolutely necessary to get things clean. A little bit of olive oil on a soft cloth can work wonders for plastics, vinyl, and SofTex inside the car. If you have fabric seats that you want to freshen up, you can use regular soap, water, and a sponge - just scrub, rinse with clean water, and let dry. If there's a particularly tough stain in your car's upholstery or carpet, our Orlando Toyota car care experts recommend using club soda or a baking soda/water mixture (1/4 cup baking soda and one cup warm water) to scrub it out. Cleaning the windows It's essential to clean your windows and windshield so you have a clear field of vision at all times. However, using ammonia-based cleaners like Windex can damage the glass and your tint job that you shelled out hard-earned bucks for. Instead, use white vinegar mixed with water as a cleaner, and use crumbled newspapers instead of paper towels (newspaper is stronger and doesn't leave those little weird white things all over the window as you clean). Removing stuck-on debris from the exterior Bird poop and sap are notoriously hard to get off of car paint, but it's an essential part of car cleaning if you want to avoid paint damage in the long run. Our Orlando auto service techs recommend spraying a little WD40 on the spot to remove the offending debris - the grease will help loosen it up so you can wipe it away. Getting rid of bad smells Does the interior of your Orlando Toyota smell like it's seen better days? Get rid of offensive, lingering odors with baking soda. You can sprinkle it on the seats and carper, let it sit for a few hours, and then vacuum out. A small bag of charcoal under one of the seats is also a great odor absorber. Let Toyota of Orlando help you get your car looking like-new again Have more questions about budget-friendly car cleaning hacks?

Have you scheduled brake service for your car lately? Most people don't put this particular type of Orlando auto service at the top of their to-do list when it comes to caring for their car. Brake service, however, is just as essential as an oil change or tire rotation. After all, your brakes are what bring you and your vehicle to a safe stop when it matters most. Toyota of Orlando offers affordable brake service to keep you safe out on the road, and we're here to tell you what to expect when you schedule this important car maintenance. Toyota of Orlando explains your car brake system Before we can explain what brake service actually consists of, it's probably best if we refresh your memory in terms of what's actually in your car braking system. Here are the main components that will be inspected, serviced, and repaired if necessary: Brake pads: Your brake pads are held in place against your rotors. When you press the brake pedal, they create the friction necessary to bring your vehicle to a stop. Calipers: Your calipers are metal pieces that actually hold your brake pads in place against the rotors and when you press the brake pedal, they push the brake pads firmly against the rotors to create the aforementioned necessary friction. Rotors: Your rotors are metal discs that work with the brake pads to make friction and slow/stop your car. Brake lines + fluid: Your brake lines connect your brake pedal to the rest of your brake system, and brake fluid keeps the entire system up and running when it matters most. What happens during brake service? So, what exactly happens when you schedule brake service at our Orlando Toyota service center? Here's what you can expect after you drop your car off. First, our Orlando car care techs will do a thorough inspection of your entire brake system to look for any existing OR developing issues that could cause trouble. Next, they'll check your brake pads. If they're in good shape, they get checked off the list. If they're too thin or worn down, they'll be replaced with a fresh set. Next up are the calipers. Our Orlando brake service techs will check then for rust and debris and if necessary, sand them down. If they're good to go, our techs will lubricate them and call it a day. Then they'll check your rotors to ensure they're in good condition and haven't been worn down due to bad brake pads. Finally, our techs will check your brake lines to ensure they aren't worn or leaking, and make sure you have enough clean brake fluid. If there's an issue, they may do a brake fluid flush. And then you're back on the road and ready to go. Have questions? Want to schedule brake service at our Orlando auto service center? You can call us today at (407) 298-4500 or schedule online. You can also stop by and see us at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

Do you like to turn heads when you hit the road? If you're the type of driver who wants a vehicle that's anything but ordinary, you're in luck - Toyota is officially adding two more models to its limited-time Nightshade Edition lineup. As of 2021, both the Orlando Toyota Avalon and Toyota C-HR will be available in this special edition model and will sport a darker, edgier look than any other models in the family. Brand-new Nightshade Editions coming soon We don't have the exact details on these new Nightshade Edition Toyota models yet - it's still up in the air since 2021 is a little ways off. We do know, however, that blacked-out accessory pieces are definitely in the picture and that the Avalon XSE is going to be retired after next year, so the Nightshade Edition might take its place for a while. We can assume the general look and feel of these new Toyotas because there are other models up for grabs already. As of right now, you can find these edgy editions of the Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia, Corolla, Corolla Hatchback, Highlander, and Camry. Let's take a closer look at one of them so you can start setting expectations for the up-and-coming 2021 Toyota Avalon and Toyota C-HR. What's up with the 2020 Toyota Corolla Nightshade Edition? If you haven't had a chance to get your hands on the Orlando Toyota Corolla Nightshade Edition, it's worth it to keep trying. Here are the main features this special model is showcasing: This model is based on the already sporty SE trim of this Orlando Toyota, giving it an automatic edge when compared to other trim-levels. It's available on both the Corolla and Corolla Hatchback, giving you plenty of edgy options. It will showcase blacked-out exterior features including the door handles, exterior mirror caps, and lower fascias. Additionally, the Orlando Toyota Corolla Hatchback offers a blacked-out roof for serious contrast to the paint. This special edition vehicle will also feature black 18" alloy wheels. It's available in various special paint colors. The sedan model comes in white, silver, or black, while the hatchback comes in white, bronze, red, blue, or silver. Both models will be Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible. And it's been reported that Toyota will have 10 Nightshade Edition models on the market (or at least in the works) by the end of this year. And you can't go wrong with both the Toyota Avalon and Toyota C-HR.  The Orlando Toyota Avalon is decked out with top technology and offers a sleek and sporty but luxurious way to get around town - no stuffy luxury car vibes here. The Toyota C-HR, on the other hand, is already edgy and exciting with its diamond-inspired looks and sporty handling. Adding the new nightshade elements to these models only takes them to a whole new level in terms of appearance. Want more details?

The Orlando Toyota Highlander is pretty much the epitome of family-friendly. It's got a spacious and versatile interior, top convenience technology, and safety features that other makes and models just can't compete with. However, we just got word that it's about to get even better - the 2021 model is reported to features brand-new additions to the Toyota Safety Sense suite. Explore this safety suite at Toyota of Orlando Before we talk about the upgrades, let's talk about the existing Toyota Safety Sense features. You'll find this suite of safety technology on multiple vehicles in our Orlando Toyota lineup, the Toyota Highlander being one of them. It includes high-tech safety elements like: Pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. This feature is an integrated camera and radar system that helps prevent collisions as well as accidents with pedestrians. Lane departure alert. A small camera on your windshield prevents you from weaving out of your lane, alerting you if your tires cross over the lines on the road. Automatic high beams. These high beam lights turn on automatically when the situation calls for it and they're safe to employ. Dynamic radar cruise control. This special cruise control system uses radar and a camera to up your cruise control game - it automatically adjusts your speed according to the vehicle in front of you. Road sign assist. This Toyota safety feature uses an intelligent camera to detect signs like stop signs, yield signs, do not enter signs, and speed limit signs to then display them on your multi-information display and make you aware of them. Lane tracing assist. This feature helps your car to stay centered between the lines on the road when you're using the dynamic radar cruise control. What upgrades come with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5? It sounds like a pretty comprehensive set of safety features, right? We think so too, but Toyota is renowned globally for their advancements in safety research and they're adding a few upgrades to the 2021 version of Toyota Safety Sense. Here's what you can count on: New support to the pre-collision system to help you more safely navigate making left-hand turns Curve speed management to assist you in handling curves while using cruise control (since you should slow your car when making a curve) A smarter lane-keep assist feature to more effectively read road lines A new feature called "Risk Avoidance Emergency Steering" And the new system will be called Toyota Safety Sense 2.5. We can't wait to see this new safety tech in person when the 2021 Toyota Highlander arrives at Toyota of Orlando later on this year. However, if you want to take a test drive in the meantime, call us! You can experience the current Toyota Safety Sense system in person on a multitude of our Orlando Toyotas now. Call us at (407) 298-4500 to schedule your test drive, or visit us at 3575 Vineland Road. We're just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall and we're open seven days a week for your convenience!

Toyota is renowned on a global scale for its innovation in the world of hybrid cars. The Toyota Prius, after all, is the hybrid that started it all. At Toyota of Orlando, we're proud to offer multiple hybrid solutions to our customers who want to make the world a greener place every time they get behind the wheel. We have a pretty big lineup spanning both cars and SUVs that embrace a hybrid engineering system designed to cut down on emissions and boost fuel efficiency, but we've got news - things are about to get even better. 2021 brings Toyota Hybrid System II to Toyota of Orlando As we're sure you've heard, 2021 will both bring back the once-retired Toyota Venza and introduce an all-new Toyota Sienna to the market. These cars will be boasting more than just makeovers, though - both of them will also be showcasing a brand-new Toyota hybrid engineering system under the hood. We've got the scoop on how it differs from what's currently in our Toyota hybrid cars so you can start considering whether or not you want to put one of these new and improved vehicles in your driveway. Before we walk about the future, however, let's talk about the present. As you know, Toyota of Orlando offers a wide lineup of Toyota hybrid cars. These cars use a full hybrid system; this means that the electric motor and internal combustion work together to power your hybrid car, but can also work independently to power your vehicle (i.e., you can drive on electric motor power alone). Other makes and models don't always use this full hybrid system, relying on other types like a parallel or series system (neither of which is as efficient as a full hybrid system). This type of Toyota hybrid engineering system has quite a few benefits. For starters, it greatly improves fuel efficiency, boosting it much higher than that of an Orlando Toyota that solely uses an internal combustion engine. Additionally, these eco-friendly cars cut down on emissions and use fewer natural resources, so you can rest easy that you're making the world a greener place. What will this new Toyota hybrid system have to offer? So, what's in store for you when the 2021 Toyota Venza and Toyota Sienna arrive at Toyota of Orlando? Here's how the new Toyota hybrid engineering system will differ from the existing one: It's more efficient and performance-driven than ever before thanks to new high-speed combustion technology It's showcasing new nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion batteries that are smaller and lighter than ever before, which means they can easily and comfortably be installed under the backseats (giving you more passenger and cargo space) It has a new power control unit that's smaller and lighter, and it's also been redesigned to lower the electrical loss by up to 10% The motor has a new rolling-coil structure with fewer wires and a newly developed magnetic steel; a new multi-axis system reduces the size and weight of the system in itself, which means your car will weigh less overall (and you'll get even better fuel efficiency). We can't wait to see it in action at Toyota of Orlando! If you have questions or want to test drive one of our Orlando Toyota hybrids, call us. We're open seven days a week at (407) 298-4500!

The Toyota Sienna is renowned in the automotive industry for being sleek, efficient, and as family-friendly as it can possibly get. It's also incredibly versatile; this spacious minivan has a comfortable interior decked out with features like reclining rear seats, captain's chair options, seats that fold flat and stow away, and dual power sliding doors to access it all. However, a company that specializes has taken this Orlando Toyota to an all-new level in terms of versatility. Hit the highway in a new Toyota Sienna minivan Camper vans are a great way to explore the country without having to navigate a large, cumbersome RV down the highway. However, even camper vans can be bigger than what you're used to and also use more fuel than you'd like. Oasis Campervans, a company that specializes in converting minivans into camper vans, recently undertook the challenge to make the Orlando Toyota Sienna even more adaptable by converting it into a camper van capable of taking on the open road comfortably. Check out the details below! First things first - let's talk about the sleeping arrangements because no one likes sleeping crumpled up in the backseat. This camper van actually offers a double memory foam mattress that lies on top of the dining/living area when it's opened up and put to use. Talk about an upgrade. To keep things comfortable when you're not sleeping, the double bed easily folds up and converts into a seating space; you can relax or use it to eat at a special pop-up swiveling table designed for that very purpose. The interior is also decked out with three storage cabinets and one storage drawer, as well as easy-t0-clean laminate flooring that's also pleasant to look at. Marine canvas curtains to block out the light and let you get a good night's sleep round out the cabin. Now let's talk about storage. You're probably thinking that there can't possibly be much room for gear with everything this special Toyota Sienna already has going on inside. Think again. We already know that this Orlando Toyota has a spacious cargo area (39.1 cubic feet of space even with all seats up and occupied), but Oasis took it to another level by installing more storage cabinets, as well as a stainless steel sink. There's enough storage for 1.5 gallons of fresh water, a refrigerator or cooler, a space for a two-burner stove, and even a countertop to work on. And it all fits neatly into the cargo hatch! And the best news? It costs under $10k to convert your minivan (a lot cheaper than purchasing a camper van or RV for your travels) and additionally, it's REVERSIBLE. If you decide the nomad life isn't for you, you can restore your Toyota Sienna back to its original design. Test drive this Orlando Toyota today Ready to hit the road? The first step is to get behind the wheel of a 2020 Toyota Sienna. Shop them all at Toyota of Orlando today! We're open and waiting at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

Car shopping can be stressful, we know - after all, a car is a big investment so you want to be confident in your final decision. The best way to do this? Educate yourself so you feel confident before you even walk in the doors of our Orlando Toyota dealership. Today we're talking about some of the most common words you'll hear when car shopping - read them over before you start the process so you feel ready to roll the minute you arrive. 8 car shopping terms you should know Term #1: Blue book value This is basically what your car is worth. Kelley Blue Book is a tool used across the industry to give you an initial appraisal of your vehicle so you can get an idea of what it's worth before you trade it in or sell it. It's been in use since 1926, so it's pretty well-respected in the automotive world. Term #2: Down payment A down payment is the money that you're going to put down on a car when you lease or sell it. It helps offset the amount that you're going to finance, and you can usually decide how much you're going to put down. Term #3: Finance Not many people can buy a car outright with cash; most drivers finance new and used cars, which means they put down a down payment and then pay the rest on a monthly basis for a certain amount of months. Term #4: Extended warranty An extended warranty is just what it sounds like -  you can purchase a warranty that stretches past the standard warranty to cover repairs and service. This is entirely up to you as the buyer, so ask our Orlando Toyota specialists what your options are if you're interested in this type of coverage. Term #5: Term The term is how long you're going to finance or lease your new Orlando Toyota. For example, you may lease a new car for a term of 36 months and then it's time to trade in and trade up or purchase the vehicle to keep it for good. Term #6: Trade-in When you trade in your car, you sell it back to the dealership. You can either use this money toward a new vehicle there, or take the money and walk away with it. Term #7: Trim-level OK, stick with us on this one. Basically, cars are broken out into make (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, etc.) and model (Camry, Sentra, Ridgeline, etc.). But from there, each model is broken out into a trim-level. For example, the 2020 Toyota Corolla is available in 8 trim-levels - the L, LE, Hybrid LE, SE CTV, SE manual, SE Nightshade Edition, XLE, and XSE. Term #8: Window sticker A window sticker is just that - it's a sticker located on one of the vehicle's windows that helps give you quick info on the car. If you're car shopping at Toyota of Orlando and walking our lot, these stickers will give you quick facts regarding things like MSRP, fuel efficiency, make/model/trim-level/year, features, and more.

If you live in Orlando - or even if you're just visiting - you know exactly how hot it can get in your car in a matter of minutes. Opening the door after a day at work can feel like opening an oven, and the last thing you want to do is sit in the heat during your long drive home. Toyota of Orlando is here to help! We've got quick car care tips from our auto service techs to help keep your car's interior AND you cooler, all season long. Orlando Toyota car care tips to keep you cool Tip #1: Crank the windows down The heat builds up in your car all day, making it oven-like when you finally open it after work. To prevent this unfortunate scenario, you can leave your windows cracked during the day to help let the hot air escape (just be mindful of the forecast - if it rains, you could be in trouble!).  When you finally do get to your car at the end of the day, open all the doors for a minute or two to let the air circulate and push some of the hot air out. It also helps to roll down your windows when you hit the road and turn your A/C up to force the hot air out and get cooler air quickly circulating; once things are more tolerable, roll up your windows to trap the cool air. Tip #2: Keep your steering wheel cool Your steering wheel can actually feel like a hot stove when you get in the car and it's not pleasant to try and drive while simultaneously blowing on your hands. An easy fix is to use a sunshade in your windshield (this will also help keep your car cooler and protect your entire interior from UV rays that lead to fading and cracking). You can also turn your wheel 180 degrees when you park, so when it's time to hit the road you flip it back and use the cool part to steer. A final tip? Throw a hand towel over the wheel to protect it from the sun. Tip #3: Choose your parking spot carefully Your parking spot can play a big role in how cool your car stays during the day. Obviously, parking in a garage is best, but covered parking like a carport or even a spot that's shady from trees can help prevent heat from building up inside the cabin. Tip #4: Cope with a broken A/C A broken A/C can make your drive time absolutely miserable. Until you can get your ride to our Orlando auto service center for repairs, there are ways to cope. A battery-powered or solar-powered fan can help circulate air and cool you off, and placing a cold, wet cloth over your A/C vent can blow some cooler air your way (just make sure your car is nice and dry before you park for the day).

When you think about it, your auto glass does a lot for your drive time. It keeps cold (or warm) air in, rain and bugs out, and lets you safely navigate the road without debris and dirt getting into the cabin of your Orlando Toyota. When it gets damaged, it may not seem like that big of a deal, but it can quickly spiral into expensive auto repairs if you're not careful. Toyota of Orlando's body shop is here to give you the ins and outs of auto glass and the repairs that may come along with it. What causes you to need auto glass repair? Unfortunately, it's pretty easy to get cracks, chips, and dings in your auto glass (especially if you drive on I-4). All it takes is one piece of debris flying up and that gut-wrenching popping noise, and you've got damage to your windshield or windows that means either repairs or replacement. The most common types of damage are chips and cracks. Basically, chips damage the top layer of the glass and cause imperfections in it, which weakens its structure. From there on out, cracks can occur and spiderweb out from the center with the right pressure and motion. This majorly weakens your auto glass, putting you and your passengers at risk. How do you know if you need a repair or replacement? The general rule of thumb is that if the ding is smaller than a quarter and doesn't have cracks extending from it, you can opt for a repair. However, if it's larger than that or has cracking extending from its edges, you may need a windshield replacement (or if you just don't want to deal with a cosmetic imperfection in the glass). Luckily for us, in the state of Florida you're entitled to auto glass replacement FOR FREE under your car insurance policy. You should make a claim immediately and report the damage to your insurance company; they can set it up to where you get your auto glass repaired or replaced so you can hit the road safely again. Never put off making the claim - the damage will just likely get worse as you continue to drive and can put you and everyone in your car in danger. Our Orlando Toyota Certified Collision Center can also help with auto glass repair - our trained techs are ready to get you back on the road in no time with minimal time spent in the shop (and minimal cost if your state's insurance doesn't cover it for some reason). If it doesn't, make sure you check your policy before scheduling repairs so there are no surprises. It can cost upwards of $100 to repair a chip and $400 to repair a crack. Call Toyota of Orlando with all of your auto glass needs Have questions? Need more information? Call us today at (407) 298-6006. Our Orlando body shop techs are here and ready to help. You can also stop by and see us at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

Welcome to June (and here's to a better month than May, right?)! Toyota of Orlando is here to give you the latest and greatest news in the automotive world with a roundup of Toyota headlines and the details surrounding them. From new GR models to upcoming hybrids, we've got all the info you need. Read on! The latest new Toyota news updates bring updated AND new models to market The once-retired Toyota Venza will be making its way back onto the market for 2021! Toyota is reviving this sleek crossover in a hybrid model, offering yet another go-green solution for drivers who want something a little bit more sophisticated than a hatchback. A brand-new Toyota GR86 may be hitting the streets in the summer of 2021, offering yet another Gazoo Racing option to the world. Similarly to the GR Supra, this new Toyota 86 will have a new platform, Gazoo Racing branding and badging, and will have a Subaru twin. Additionally, it supposedly will offer 255 horsepower (which is 50 more hp than the current model) and offer a turbocharger for extra get-up-and-go. The new generation of the Orlando Toyota Tundra is coming, and with it bringing some pretty big updates. One notable change is a brand-new twin-turbo V6 hybrid engine option to replace the current V8 engine under the hood, as well as a new chassis built on the TNGA-F platform. The Orlando Toyota Land Cruiser may be stepping back from the world of luxury in its upcoming iterations. Rumor has it Toyota will be stripping the plush SUV of its creature comforts (within reason, of course) and streamlining it so it reverts back to more of an off-road focus. Remember, the original Toyota Land Cruiser was built for tough terrain and had none of the luxury features it showcases today. The new Toyota 4Runner and Toyota Sequoia will be part of all-new generations come 2022 - according to rumors, both will be based on the new Toyota Tundra headed our way. The swagger wagon (new Toyota Sienna, as most people refer to it) is getting an upgrade AND going greener for the next model that's likely to be at Toyota of Orlando this fall. Not only will it be redesigned, but it'll also offer new technology AND be a hybrid model only. We've seen the much-loved Toyota Corolla as both a sedan and a hatchback, but if speculation is right, a new Toyota Corolla crossover could be headed our way. It would get here in the latter half of 2021, and we think this rumor might go hand-in-hand with the rumor of a new Toyota Corolla wagon. Supposedly, Toyota recently patented the name "Toyota BZ" and people think it COULD be the name that will be used for the Toyota Corolla Touring, a wagon that currently exists in other countries. We're leaning toward a crossover, but we'll keep you posted!
