Have you ever been in the driver's seat when brake failure happens? It can be downright terrifying. After all, being able to bring your car to a quick and efficient stop is an integral part of drive time safety. Toyota of Orlando is here to help you prevent this scary situation and also give you tips on how to react if you should someday face brake failure in your vehicle. Orlando auto service can save your brakes There are two main ways to prevent brake failure, and they're fairly simple (and affordable). Pay attention to how your car is handling. Do your brakes seem "mushy" or non-responsive when you hit them? You should be able to tap them and get a reaction out of your vehicle. If you're finding that you have to press hard to bring your car to a safe stop, it's time to schedule Orlando brake service to have our techs check them out and see how they can tune them up again. Get routine auto service. It's important to change out your brake pads when the time calls for it, check brake fluid, inspect rotors, and make sure the entire braking system is in excellent shape. When you slack on car care, your performance will suffer accordingly... and potentially lead to brake failure. How to handle brake failure So, what if you do all of this and you still find yourself in this dangerous situation? Here are some Orlando Toyota tips to help you bring your car safely to a stop. Use your horn. Once you've realized your brakes have failed, immediately use your horn to alert other motorists that you're headed in their direction and that you're not able to slow your car. This will help them get out of the way and reduce your chances of a collision. Downshift. In a manual car, you can achieve this by using the stick. In an automatic, taking your foot off the gas will ease the RPMs and your car should automatically shift to a lower gear. Either way, it helps slow your vehicle down. Try pumping the brakes. 3-4 hard pumps may switch your brakes back into action if you don't have an ABS system in your vehicle. Use your emergency brake but BE CAREFUL. If you're traveling at a high speed or your brake is powerful, it can cause you to skid. Bottom line, don't yank it or slam it - gently pull or push (depending on what type of e-brake you have) to help slow your car. Pull off to the side of the road to get out of the way of other motorists and bring your car to a complete stop. DO NOT try to drive it again - call a tow truck and get it into Toyota of Orlando's service center. And remember, if you're experiencing brake failure you should never: Turn your car off - this will get rid of power steering and increase the hazard in your situation. Shift to neutral - this will keep your car from downshifting and slowing. You'll keep coasting at a high speed. Have questions or need to schedule Orlando brake service? Call us today!

When you think of supercars, Toyota probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. We're renowned worldwide for our reliable cars (like the Toyota Camry and Corolla), our hybrid lineup (including the famous Toyota Prius), and our trucks ( TRD Pro options abound). But supercars? Not really... until now.   Toyota unveiled an all-new supercar at the Tokyo Auto Salon this week, and this hybrid race car is unlike we've ever seen before from the make. Toyota of Orlando has the highlights so you can get to know the all-new Toyota GR Super Sport! See what the Toyota GR Super Sport has to offer Here's some quick information: This all-new sports car is a hybrid, but it's unlike any hybrid you've ever seen before in the Toyota lineup. The Toyota GR Super Sport technically a hypercar that's based on the Le Mans LMP1. It's a concept right now, but the CEO of Toyota - Akio Toyoda - said that he has future plans to make it into a limited-edition production model for enthusiasts. Toyota Gazoo Racing developed the car - they're the independent company inside of Toyota Motor Corp. that manages the high-end performance vehicles and parts as well as the racing. The Toyota GR Super Sport has a twin-turbo 2.4L V6 hybrid powertrain that puts out 986 horsepower. It uses the same chassis as the Le Mans LMP1. Gazoo Racing's president said that it's not a race car, but "the starting point for Toyota's completely new challenge to develop sports cars from active race cars". We're pretty excited to see what path this concept car takes, and the inspiration that springs from its design in the future!

When it comes to oil changes, most people just know that they need to schedule one when the oil light comes on or when their mechanic sends them a reminder. However, did you know that you can actually choose the type of oil that goes under the hood to best suit your needs and your budget? There are four main types of motor oil available and Toyota of Orlando is here to explain each one of them. That way, you can decide which is best for your car next time you need to schedule an Orlando oil change. What type of motor oil is best for your car? Type 1: Conventional Conventional or regular motor oil used to be the most common type used in cars. It's also the cheapest. However, it works best for drivers who have vehicles with simple engine systems and routine driving styles. Additionally, this type of oil has a shorter lifespan than synthetic. So while it may save you money in the short run, synthetic may save you more money overall. With this type of oil, you'll typically need an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Type 2: Synthetic Synthetic oil is what our Orlando Toyota service techs recommend to most customers. While its price tag is a bit higher than conventional, it lasts much, much longer. In some cases, it can last up to 10,000 miles without a problem! This type of oil is chemically engineered (as opposed to being made from natural fossil fuels) and thus provides a cleaner performance with less residue. It also handles cold and hot weather extremes better and in some cases, can even improve your car's performance overall. Type 3: Synthetic Blend This is exactly what it sounds like - a blend of synthetic and conventional motor oils. It's less costly than a full synthetic oil but still gives you a longer life and cleaner performance with less buildup than a conventional oil. It's sort of the happy medium if you can't choose between the two oils mentioned above and is great for towing and hauling in addition to withstanding cold weather well. Type 4: High Mileage High mileage motor oil is specifically designed for older cars that have a lot of miles on them - specifically, over 75,000 miles. It has a different viscosity so it helps older cars perform better; it prevents oil leaks, helps to keep engine compression where it should be, and also prevents oil burnoff. If you drive a late-model car or have a newer one with lots of miles, then this is the perfect choice for you.

Looking for something dependable to put in the driveway? Shop Toyota. Our cars are renowned worldwide for their reliability, durability, performance, and technology. But if that's not enough for you, check this out - the Toyota Prius and Toyota Tacoma were recently awarded honors in the JD Power Dependability study, taking the lead in two different segments. How are JD Power Dependability Awards determined? How are the JD Power Dependability Awards winners decided? The company collects survey data from tens of thousands of car owners who are actually behind the wheel of the vehicles on a day-to-day basis and have owned the cars for three years. They ask them about their car's dependability in the past 12 months and then craft their list of winners from the data gathered. The Toyota Prius took top honors in the compact car segment, while the Toyota Tacoma reigned supreme in the midsize truck segment (unseating the Honda Ridgeline). However, having JD Power Dependability Awards under their belts isn't the only perk that the Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Prius have to offer their owners. Check out some quick facts on both so you can see if you're ready to schedule your test drive at Toyota of Orlando! Test drive one of these new Toyota options today Toyota Prius This new Toyota hybrid is as green as it gets - it's a hybrid car, which means that underneath the hood it's constantly swapping back and forth between an electric motor and a gasoline engine.

Here are a few other highlights that this new Toyota in Orlando has to offer: Toyota Safety Sense as a standard feature An 11.6" multimedia display through which you operate your audio system, Entune, and integrated navigation 17" Alloy wheels and LED lighting on the exterior, as well as sleek SofTex and an ultra-modern design on the interior Qi-compatible wireless charging A color head-up display which projects important information up on the windshield Toyota Tacoma This new Toyota truck is a much-loved option for off-road and performance enthusiasts but the best part about it is its adaptability.

When it comes to car care, what goes on under the hood is a mystery to some people. That's why it's important to bring your ride in for routine car maintenance at our Orlando auto service center and let the professionals take care of it. However, it never hurts to have knowledge on your side so you can make educated decisions about what's best for your ride. Toyota of Orlando is busting the top five car maintenance myths for you so you can feel more confident about your ownership! Myth #1: You need to schedule an oil change every 3,000 miles. False. With new oils and new technology, your car can actually run longer than 3,000 miles. In fact, some synthetic oils can last up to 10,000 miles before needing a change. Here's the caveat, though - if you're using traditional motor oil, you very well could need an oil change ever 3,000 - 5,000 miles. Let our Orlando Toyota service techs point you in the right direction depending on your car's performance, the type of oil you use, and the general condition of your motor. Myth #2: Premium fuel is better for your car. False. If your car requires premium fuel, then yes, you should absolutely use it. You can find this information in your owner's manual. However, if your car is fine with regular unleaded then that's what you should put in the gas tank. Using premium won't improve your car's performance or make the engine function any more efficiently; it'll really just put a bigger hole in your wallet. Stick to what your car needs! Myth #3: You can wash your car with any type of soap. False. Did you know that using soaps like dish soap or laundry detergent can actually damage your car's paint over time? They strip the wax finish off because the chemicals in them are harsh. Instead, use a specially-formulated soap for your car, which can get things nice and clean without stripping the protective wax off. Our Orlando auto parts techs can help you pick the one that best fits your needs and your budget. Myth #4: You need to warm your car up before you hit the road. False. A lot of people actually believe this one, but it's just not true. It's better to hit the road without idling to "warm things up" because driving will actually warm your car up better than just sitting there, even when it's cold out. You may want to let your car get a few miles on the odometer before gunning it or taking to the highway, but you don't need to wait for your car to warm up in the morning before you take off. Myth #5: Once you jump your car battery, you don't need to replace it. False - sometimes. For the most part, if your car battery needs a jump then there's an issue that's preventing it from doing its job... and it most likely needs to be replaced. In fact, most of the time when you jump your car it's wisest to go straight to a car maintenance center to have the voltage checked and the battery replaced. If you stop somewhere and turn your car off, chances are you'll have to have it jumped again. Save yourself the hassle! Need to schedule Orlando car maintenance today? Call (407) 298-0001!

When you shop for a used car, you want to know where it's been before you decide where it's going. Information about its life before it ended up in your test drive can help you make an informed decision about whether or not it's the right car for you. This is where a used car history report comes into play - our Orlando Toyota dealership highly recommends requesting one before you purchase any pre-owned vehicle. What is a used car history report? A used car history report gives you pertinent information about that particular vehicle's past. Not only can it help you fact-check certain characteristics of the vehicle (like accident damage or mileage), it can also give you a clearer idea of how the car was cared for and maintained by previous owners. Reports like CarFax - which we offer on every used car at Toyota of Orlando - can give you a more sound peace of mind when it comes to buying something pre-owned. Explore these four reasons why we think it's a good idea to request one of these reports before you sign the dotted line! 1) Car maintenance records You should always take a look at the previous car maintenance before you buy a pre-owned vehicle. If the vehicle has been routinely maintenanced and cared for, you're less likely to deal with performance issues and auto repairs in the future. Routine auto service also extends the life of a vehicle, as well as the parts inside of it, ensuring that your car still has plenty of miles left to go before it has to be retired. 2) Mileage Sure, you can see the mileage on the car's odometer. But if you're purchasing a pre-owned vehicle from a private seller, there's always the chance that the odometer has been tampered with to lower the mileage and make the car more attractive to potential buyers. Cross-check the mileage on the car with the mileage on the used car history report to ensure everything lines up. If it doesn't, then walk away! 3) Previous owners How many previous owners has the vehicle had before it found its way to you? The higher the number, the more probability of issues. Usually, when a car swaps hands often it's less likely to have been routinely serviced and more likely to have been in an accident or two. That's why you want to carefully inspect the CarFax report to look for information about accidents and auto service. 4) Car accidents and repairs You always want to know if a vehicle has been in an accident - it can lower the resale value as well as lead to residual auto repairs that need to be made (by you). However, not all owners will tell you about accidents the car has been in. Check the report and also be on the lookout for any major auto repairs that could be the result of an accident or may have warranties attached to them - you'll want copies of the warranties. Request your CarFax today at Toyota of Orlando Ready to shop? Come on down to Toyota of Orlando - we're open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall!

You know that feeling when you get behind the wheel, turn the key, and all you hear is dead silence? Or maybe just the clicking of the ignition. Whatever you hear, it's not the growl of your engine coming to life so you can hit the road. Your car won't start, but what's the issue behind its lack of life? And what do you do now? <span data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> Reasons your car won't start There are a lot of possible reasons your car won't start, but our Orlando auto service techs have taken the time to compile some of the most common ones. Here are a few reasons you may need to call a tow truck and bring your car in for some TLC: Your battery is dead. If this is the case, you'll hear a clicking noise or silence when you turn the key depending on how dead the car battery actually is. This could also be an issue with damage to your battery cables. Your spark plugs aren't up to par. If your spark plugs need to be replaced your engine may turn over, but it doesn't have enough get-up-and-go to actually get running. Your starter wires are loose or damaged. You'll hear a clicking noise in this case. Your ignition switch has gone bad. If this is your issue you should be able to turn on your headlights (as your battery is still working) but you can't get your car started. Your engine cylinders are faulty. If this is your problem, you'll hear a knocking noise from under the hood when you turn the key. You're out of gas. Check your fuel tank indicator on the dash! What now? As we said, those are just a few of the reasons you may not be able to get your car up and running. There could be something else going on so it's in your best interest to bring it to Toyota of Orlando to have it checked out. Here are a few more tips on what you should do when your car won't start: Check the battery - if you can't turn on the headlights, your battery is most likely dead. Try tightening the battery cables and give it a shot again to see if that does the trick. You can get a jump from someone using jumper cables, but be sure to come straight to our Orlando car maintenance center. One jump won't get you too far, especially if you have to turn your car off at any point. Call a tow truck. If it's not your battery, you don't really have any other temporary solutions to get you where you need to go. Have the tow truck bring your ride in so our techs can pinpoint the problem and get you back on the road. Need to schedule auto service for your car? Call (407) 298-0001 today.

Are you at a crossroads with your car, trying to decide whether you should shell out more money for vital auto repairs or just wash your hands of it and cash out? We get it - it's a tough spot to be, and it can be hard to decide which route is the most responsible and efficient one to take. Luckily, our Orlando auto repair techs are here to help you figure out the best path for you and your vehicle. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> 4 signs it's time to trade in Here are four major signs it's time to trade in, trade up, and stop putting money into auto repairs: 1) Your car is dangerous or unreliable. ' If your car has become dangerous - we're talking consistent problems with braking, accelerating, etc. - or is just incredibly unreliable, then it's time to cash out and move on. You don't want to put others or yourself in danger when you hit the road, nor do you want to be constantly waiting for a tow truck. If this is the case with your car, we recommend skipping the auto repairs and saving that money for a down payment on a new ride. 2) You're making repeated trips to the mechanic. Find yourself spending a lot of time at the body shop getting auto repairs? If you feel like it's quickly becoming your second home and your car's issues just can't seem to be resolved, do yourself a big favor and move on. Trade your ride in and get behind the wheel of something that's reliable AND affordable, and enjoy your newly freed up weekends and afternoons. 3) You've been wanting an upgrade in terms of technology. Feel like your current car just doesn't cut it when it comes to safety tech, connectivity, or both? If it's also experiencing problems that require big auto repairs, now's your opportunity to trade in for something more advanced. Get the features you need... this is an excellent time to do it! 4) Your car's value is less than the cost of repairs. Here at Toyota of Orlando, our used cars director can quickly and efficiently appraise your car to tell you how much it's worth. We also have a handy trade-in value tool on our site for you to utilize. If the value of your car is less than the estimated cost of repairs, it's not worth putting more money into the vehicle. Instead, put that money into something newer and more dependable. What's the Toyota of Orlando Vehicle Exchange Program? And we can help you do it!

When the season changes from fall to winter, you're probably wondering what all needs to be done in preparation for colder temperatures. One of the things you'll need to prep is your car! With a change in temperature, your car is going to start reacting differently. That’s why it’s important to know what to look out for! Our Toyota auto service team is here to explain how the cold weather, even in Orlando, can affect your car. Orlando cold weather can mean car trouble There are plenty of things you need to look out for when the temperatures drop in Orlando. That’s why our Toyota auto service team is here to give you the 411 on what to look out for in regard to your car. Battery life Before it starts to get cold, we recommend getting your battery tested during some routine Toyota auto service. A typical battery can last around three years, but extreme colds under 30°F can pull the voltage from the battery. That’ll make that overall lifetime shrink. Auto fluids Like other types of liquids, auto fluids are affected by a change in temperature. When it starts to get cold, the fluids in your car will start to thicken. You’ll want to keep an eye out for your oil, antifreeze, power steering, brake, and transmission fluids. You’ll especially want to make sure your transmission fluid isn’t having issues flowing. It’ll start to thicken below 35°F and won’t run at a normal pace. That can cause issues with your car’s functionality. Tire pressure This bit of knowledge is a bit more common. When it starts to get colder out, your car tires will lose their tire pressure. For every 10°F drop, your tires will lose one psi. So even if you recently filled your tires with air, you might have to check them again after temperatures have dropped. You don’t want to find yourself driving with tires with low pressure, or worse, a flat when you’re on the road. Spark plugs Make sure to get your spark plugs checked before driving in Orlando in colder temperatures. The reliability of your spark plug goes weakens in the winter, so you’ll want to make sure to have on that’s in good shape before it gets cold. This is because as it gets colder, you’ll have to hard start your vehicle to turn it on and a bad spark plug can affect whether or not you can turn on the car. Get Toyota auto service this winter If you feel like our previous cold snaps might have already taken a toll or you want to make sure your car is prepared, be sure to come to our Toyota auto service center. Our Orlando Toyota service team will get your car back in great condition in no time! We’re located at 3575 Vineland Road just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

When you get behind the wheel of your Orlando Toyota, you definitely have a lot of gadgets to make your drive time easier. You'll find features and options like a push button start, Head Up Display, the Pre-Collision System, and Lane Keep Assist, just to name a few. However, one feature that nearly every new Toyota in Orlando comes with is cruise control. This handy feature makes your drive time a lot easier and less exhausting when you hit the highway.... but do you know how to properly use it? Some drivers are under the impression that they can just hit the cruise control button anytime and let their new Toyota do the rest. However, that's definitely not the case. It's a great tool to prevent leg fatigue on the highway, and it also helps you maintain a constant speed and can bump up fuel efficiency. However, there are certain times you shouldn't be using it, and we're listing them out for you! You can't use cruise control all the time in your new Toyota You shouldn't use cruise control when you're in traffic - it's designed to be utilized on the highway. If you try to use it in your new Toyota in Orlando during traffic, you're really just wasting your time - all the stopping and starting at traffic lights will cancel out any perks you may get from utilizing it. Additionally, it's dangerous, as you need to be moving with the ebb and flow of traffic, which means you need to be in complete control of your car. You should avoid using your cruise control feature while driving in rain, snow, or fog. These adverse conditions make it hard enough to control your new Orlando Toyota as is, and taking away the element of control when it comes to speed can be extremely dangerous. Keep your foot on the pedal if you're facing these types of weather conditions. If you're tired, you should definitely not use cruise control. It's a form of auto-pilot - you still have to steer your new Toyota, but you don't have to think about your speed. Combine this with fatigue and you're in danger of getting into an accident, so if you're sleepy, definitely keep yourself in charge of your car's speed to stay on task. In fact, it may be best to pull off the road and take a nap until you're more awake. Using cruise control at night also isn't the best idea. Nighttime means your visibility is a bit more limited, so you need that little extra bit of control to make sure you have the element of safety on your side. It'll also keep you more awake if you're in charge of monitoring your new Toyota's speed.

Did you know that 94% of all traffic accidents are caused by driver error? And even scarier, 33% of those accidents happen because of road rage behaviors on the part of one or both of the drivers. Obviously, road rage is a big hazard when it comes to your drive time. Whether you're the one screaming behind the wheel or you're the victim of someone else's anger, everyone loses when it comes to road rage. That's why Toyota of Orlando has come up with tips to help you deal! Deal with your own road rage Sometimes, driving home in traffic after a long day is the last thing you want to do, and it's easy to become frustrated or angry when things don't go your way. So how do you stop yourself from engaging in road rage behaviors? Here are some Orlando Toyota tips: Don't rush - if you're in a hurry, you're more likely to get angry at delays. Give yourself extra time to get where you need to go and don't stress about being late (we know it's easier said than done but try). Try to calm yourself. Listen to your favorite music or a book on tape or talk on your phone via Bluetooth. Find ways to keep yourself occupied and distracted from other drivers' bad habits. Get comfortable. If you've got a long commute, consider changing into comfy clothes before you hit the road. Also, bring snacks and a drink so you aren't hungry or thirsty (which can cause you to get more easily annoyed). Set your climate control to a temperature you like, too. If you find yourself behaving rudely, try to make up for it - mouth "sorry" to the other driver, wave to them, etc. Deal with other drivers' road rage However, how do you deal with drivers out on the road who are directing their rage toward you? Here are some Toyota of Orlando tips: Don't take it personally. Try to stay polite and follow the rules of the road even if they aren't to avoid conflict and a possible accident. Keep your doors locked. If you find yourself in conflict with a driver who has road rage, make sure you lock all of your doors and stay in your car. You never know if their anger will turn into aggression toward you and your passengers. Avoid aggressive drivers on the road - if you notice someone cutting people off and swerving in and out of lanes or driving recklessly, try to stay as far away from them as possible to avoid a confrontation or collision. Report aggressive drivers by calling 911, especially if you find yourself threatened by one. The police can help you defuse the situation and deal with the other driver. And remember, there are consequences to road rage. Not only can it cause an accident, you can also be arrested, have to pay fines, or even face jail time. Keep your anger under control!
