If you’re driving a high mileage car, you know that even if it’s the best quality around (ahem, Toyota) it’s bound to have issues occasionally simply because as things get older, they wear out. However, there are ways to keep your older Toyota on the road for years to come. First, routine maintenance. We know we’re always bugging you to get your oil changed, but sticking to a routine car maintenance schedule will keep everything running as it should and also give our techs the opportunity to spot any developing issues and nip them in the bud before they become big and expensive.

What car maintenance should you be doing for an older vehicle?

On top of a car care schedule, here are a few other suggestions:

Test things frequently. If you have an older vehicle, our Orlando Toyota service techs recommend checking things frequently (and they’re not just talking about under the hood). It’s to your benefit to check your A/C, heater, defroster, radio, all of your lighting, your power-adjustable seats and any other knobs, switches, or buttons in your ride. Oftentimes if you catch issues early, they’re less expensive and time-consuming to deal with.  Our techs can give you an estimate on the repair and you can decide if you want to schedule it or if you can live without said feature for the remainder of your car’s ownership.

Orlando Toyota tips

Get creative and find workarounds. Let’s say your car does need repairs for something non-performance-related. Do you have to shell out for it, or can you find a workaround? Aesthetic imperfections can often be cured by aftermarket parts and accessories – faded seats can get seat covers, peeling wood-grain accents can be covered or painted, and non-functioning radios can be updated to newer audio systems. However, we don’t recommend taking this course of action if you’re dealing with mechanical or electrical issues. It’s best to leave those to the experts at Toyota of Orlando so you don’t cause a bigger (and much more expensive) problem.

Do your research. Do your research before you schedule auto repairs for your older car. Is this something you can do DIY style at home? Is it an issue that needs to be addressed immediately, or can it wait a little bit? Make a list of all the auto repairs your ride needs and figure out how much it’s going to cost. This can help you narrow things down to must-fix and fix later; it can also help you decide if it’s worth it to sink the money into the car, or if it’s time to trade in and trade up (and don’t forget, our Vehicle Exchange Program can help you make that happen).

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.

Orlando Toyota tips

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.

how to shop for a car

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.

It can feel stressful when you buy a car, especially if it’s your first time making such a large purchase. However, an easy way to remove some of the stress from the occasion is to do away with uncertainties – i.e., preparing yourself ahead of time. Making a list of your drive time needs and picking a make and model is a good start, but it also helps to know what you should bring with you when you actually head to the dealership. Check out these tips from our Orlando Toyota dealership!

buy a car

6 things to bring when you buy a car

Your driver’s license. You’ll need your driver’s license to test drive a car, first of all. But you’ll also need it to verify identity so we can do all of the necessary paperwork when you buy a car. Make sure you have your license on hand the minute you walk in the door and make sure that it’s not expired.

A way to make payment. You’ll be making a payment when you buy a car before you even leave the dealership as you typically will make a down payment before you can call it yours. Make sure you check with whoever you’re buying from to see if they accept all forms of payment (credit cards, debit cars, personal checks, cashier’s checks, etc.).

The title to your vehicle. Are you trading in your current car? You’ll need proof that you own it, so be sure to bring the title with you when you buy a car. If you have a co-owner on the vehicle, make sure you get their signature on the title before you try to trade it in! If you’re confused, our Orlando Toyota sales specialists can help you get it sorted out.

Your current registration. You’ll need to bring the registration for your current car in order to trade it in. Make sure that the registration is current (not expired) and that you also have the sticker on your current ride’s license plate.

Insurance information. You’ll need proof of insurance to take your new car home since it’s illegal to drive without it. Bring your insurance card to show proof of insurance as well as contact information (if it’s not on the card) for the insurance company so you can call and add your new ride to your policy before you hit the road.

Verification for rebates. Are you going to be taking advantage of any rebates? If you’re planning on cashing in on military, student, or other rebates then make sure you have the proper documentation to do so. You can call Toyota of Orlando to find out what you need for the Toyota Military Rebate or College Grad Rebate.

A few other things we recommend bringing when you buy a car? Empty bags to clean out your current car (if you haven’t already), a drink and a snack, and a phone charger. Purchasing a car can take a few hours from start to finish and you don’t want to be hangry or stuck with a dead phone.

Are you considering taking the plunge and buying the ultimate in family-friendly vehicles? If you’re thinking about putting a minivan in the driveway, great decision. Minivans are versatile, performance-driven, safe, and designed to give you an efficient and family-friendly drive time every time you hit the road. And gone are the days of the “soccer mom” mobiles – today’s minivans, especially the Orlando Toyota Sienna, are sleek and stylish. Toyota of Orlando is here with a quick car shopping guide to help you navigate the purchasing process – check it out.

Orlando Toyota minivan

What should you know about car shopping before buying a minivan?

Before you head to Toyota of Orlando for a test drive, here are some things to consider about your next ride.

Seating: Typically, you’ll find minivans that seat either seven or eight passengers (the Orlando Toyota Sienna offers configurations for both). Decide which is going to be better suited for your drive time needs before you sign the dotted line.

Access: Minivans nowadays have incredible access points. You’ll have options like single sliding door, dual sliding door, and dual power sliding doors, as well as the choice of a standard or power rear liftgate. Decide how much convenience you need when you hit the road and choose the model with the best access points.

Cargo: How much cargo space do you need for your gear when you and the family hit the road? Many models offer under-floor storage in both the cargo area AND in the cabin of the van, as well as a spacious cargo area under the liftgate. Some even offer tie down points, and you should also take into consideration how easy it is to fold flat/stow or remove interior seats for more cargo space.

Performance: What performance features do you need for your next vehicle? Some minivans (including the Orlando Toyota Sienna) offer all-wheel drive for superior traction in slick conditions. You’ll also want to look into fuel efficiency (and whether or not you want a hybrid vehicle), as well as features like towing (what’s the max weight?) and engine size (should you go with 4-cylinder or V6?).

Safety: We know that in every family vehicle, safety is the #1 feature on the must-have list. Minivans don’t disappoint in this arena, especially if you take the Toyota Sienna into consideration. They usually offer top-notch safety features like backup cameras, advanced airbag systems, rear backup alert alarms, and other advanced crash avoidance technologies. You should also ensure that the minivan you choose has the right hookups for your carseats – most have the LATCH system in place to make installation easy.

Entertainment and connectivity: What features are highlighted in the cabin to make your drive time efficient AND enjoyable? Look into features like the audio system you want and its accessories, such as Sirius XM Satellite Radio. You’ll also want to consider features like a rear-seat entertainment system (with wireless headphones, of course), Bluetooth streaming for devices, steering-wheel-mounted controls, Driver Easy Speak, and other features designed to make your job as chauffeur that much easier.

best hybrid cars

So you’re shopping for a new hybrid car. Whether you want to go greener in your drive time, cut back on fuel costs, or both, you’re in the right frame of mind if you’re looking for hybrid cars. And luckily for you, there are tons of hybrid options on the market right now, giving you plenty of opportunities to find the right new car for all of your driving needs. And here at Toyota of Orlando, we think a new Toyota hybrid is the best fit.

We’re biased, sure, but we do have facts to back us up. If you’re in the market for a hybrid car, check out these reasons we think a new Toyota hybrid is your best bet!

 

Why are Toyota hybrid cars the best bet?

Reason #1: Hybrid Synergy Drive. Orlando Toyota hybrids have a special technology under the hood that was developed (and is reserved for) Toyota called Hybrid Synergy Drive. This unique system uses a gasoline engine and an electric motor interchangeably, swapping them out as often as possible to give you the performance you need when you need it. They swap seamlessly and each alone can power the vehicle. Further, regenerative braking helps to ensure that the battery gets the power it needs.

Reason #2: Lower emissions. Did you know that your favorite Orlando Toyota hybrids actually are better for the environment than other hybrid makes? They’re exceptionally efficient when it comes to using gas, which means fewer emissions in general since you can use the electric motor to power the car more often. Additionally, Toyota hybrids release the smallest amount of NOx, which is an exhaust mission that’s harmful to the planet.

Reason #3: Better quality hybrids. Toyota is the frontrunner when it comes to hybrid cars – the introduction of the Orlando Toyota Prius to the market is what started the hybrid movement if you recall. The popularity of these cars has led to a boom in sales, which in turn has led to reinvestment of the profit into research and development. This allows Toyota to not only refine and improve their hybrid cars, but also develop new models AND work on electric cars and hydrogen fuel call cars as well.

Reason #4: The most options. Toyota offers the greatest number of hybrid car options – more than any other car producer. This means there’s something for everyone in our lineup. We’ve got everything from the large and family-friendly Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV down to the compact and sporty Toyota Corolla Hybrid in our lineup, and they’re all waiting for your test drive.

Don’t delay – go green today! Toyota of Orlando is ready and waiting to get you behind the wheel of a new Toyota hybrid at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall. Shop online OR in person – you can call ahead to schedule a test drive at (407) 298-4500 today.

When shopping for a new ride, some drivers just simply aren’t satisfied with the current Toyota options on the market. They’re looking for something extremely unique, something different – maybe even something from a different era. This is typically when a classic Toyota car restoration comes into play! However, restoring a classic car can take time, money, and dedication. Our Orlando Toyota dealership is here to give you some quick tips in our beginner’s guide to classic Toyota car restoration – check it out.

A quick beginner’s guide to restoring a classic Toyota car

classic car restoration

Tip #1: Consider factors like time and money. 

Restoring a classic Toyota car is definitely a lot more complex than simply walking into Toyota of Orlando and driving off in a new Camry. It requires time and money, and you should make sure you have enough of both before you try to tackle it. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Time: Restoring a car takes a fair amount of time, even if you choose to have professionals do it for you. You typically won’t be able to walk into our Orlando Toyota parts store to get the parts you need, especially if the car is vintage, which means it’ll take some time to track them down. And if you go the modern route and use current-day parts to restore your vehicle, you still have to take the time to find the right ones and ensure that they’re compatible with your ride. It could take over a year to get all of the pieces into play.
  • Money: Restoring a classic Toyota car also requires a fair amount of money invested in it. Not only will you need to track down parts, but you’ll also have to pay for a workspace and tools OR professional labor to get your car up and running again.

Tip #2: Figure out how you’re going to choose your car. 

How are you going to find the right classic Toyota car to restore? Again, you can’t just waltz into our dealership and walk out with a set of keys! When searching for a vintage ride to upgrade, your best bet is the classifieds, whether online or in the newspaper. You can also look for sites that specialize in classic car sales.

how to restore a car

Tip #3: Have the right workspace and tools ready to go. 

If you’re going to tackle restoration on your own, you’ll need the right workspace AND the right tools. You’ll want a place to work that’s well-lit, dry, and big enough for you to move around in. You’ll also want certain tools on hand – for starters, you should have a car jack, screwdriver, a drill with different bits, an air hose, screwdrivers, pliers, sockets, and wrenches. If you’re really going to get into the trenches, you may want to consider having other items on hand like a welder, a blowtorch, and an engine crane and stand so you can lift the engine out of the car with ease. Make sure you know how to use all of these tools safely, though, before you get started.

The phrase “your car is due for maintenance” is enough to strike fear into the hearts of some drivers. If you don’t have a trusted relationship with your mechanic, you likely start to worry about how much said maintenance will cost. Could a routine auto service appointment turn into major repairs once the mechanic pops the hood?

You can rest easy (and even easier if you service at Toyota of Orlando). At our car care center, we think it’s important for our customers to have a basic idea of what’s going on under the hood so they can make educated decisions about their car care. Today we’re giving you quick explanations of 10 commonly mentioned car parts. Check it out!

Orlando Toyota service tips

10 common car parts to know about

1. Camshaft: The camshaft’s job is to open and close the valves in your engine. This ensures that air and fuel make it into the engine and exhaust gases make it out. They don’t really need to be replaced regularly, but if you’re having issues with low oil, they could be damaged and need to be replaced.

2. Heater core: This key car part is used to heat the inside of your Orlando Toyota’s cabin (we know, not something we do often here in Central Florida). It’s similar to a car radiator and is located behind your car’s dashboard.

3. Power window switch: Most cars nowadays have power windows and this switch is responsible for ensuring they can go up and down. They can fail over time due to dust and debris or just heavy use in general.

4. Wiper motor: We’re always harping on you about how important it is to use your windshield wipers. This car part is responsible for ensuring you can. If it stops working, so do your wipers.

5. Axle or CV shaft: These take power from your differential to your front or rear wheels (depending on whether you have front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive). They’re encased in rubber boots which wear down over time so your mechanic may say you need new boots for them before you actually have to replace the shafts themselves.

 

6. Mass airflow sensor: This part reads how much air is being pulled into the engine so it can figure out how much fuel is needed to be added into the mixture, which will then be ignited to start your car.

7. Shock absorbers: These important car parts help to absorb the shock when your car is traveling over rough road so you’re more comfortable inside the cabin. They do wear out and may need to be replaced over time.

8. Ignition coil: This car part sends voltage to your spark plugs to help them ignite, which in turn creates the combustion that gets your Orlando Toyota’s engine up and running. They do wear out over time and need to be replaced to ensure your car doesn’t misfire or refuse to start.

9. Muffler: The muffler quiets your car, essentially. It helps to dull the roar of your engine so it’s quieter both inside your car’s cabin AND to the people around you on the road.

10. A/C compressor: The compressor is responsible for ensuring your car A/C works, which is crucial here in Orlando. If your A/C isn’t running properly, be sure to have this car part checked.

Do you have a car with an audio system that’s seen better days? If you’re considering driving around with your airpods in just to get your music fix, don’t – not only is that super dangerous, it’s also easy to upgrade your audio system and get it up-to-date in terms of technology. Check out our Toyota of Orlando guide to doing just that below!

How difficult is it to upgrade your car’s audio system?

Toyota of Orlando tips

Before you get started, you should know that majorly upgrading your audio system COULD require some expertise when it comes to car parts and installation. If you’re not comfortable, then you’re best scheduling an appointment with our Orlando Toyota service center to get things where they need to go. However, if you’re OK with tackling the project on your own, here are the steps you should take.

Tip #1: Plan ahead and go slowly. This is a project, and it’s likely not something you can achieve in one day to get the system you REALLY want. Plus, you don’t want to bust your budget. Decide exactly what you want out of your car’s sound system before you start buying parts. What’s most important to you? Is the quality of the sound your top priority? Do you want a different infotainment system for better convenience? Do you want to turn up the bass? Figure out what your needs are before you dive in.

Tip #2: Start with a new head unit or receiver. If you’re replacing the audio system as a whole, this is the most important part to start with. You’ll be able to upgrade your infotainment capabilities like navigation, Bluetooth, Satellite Radio, and more. This new part also ensures that your new speakers will get enough power when you hook them up.

Tip #3: Shop for speakers. You don’t want tinny old speakers hooked up to your new receiver. Count how many speakers you need – our new Orlando Toyotas range anywhere from 4 to 10 speakers – and figure out how many of them you want to actually replace for quality sound. Our tip? Start at the front where YOU sit and then move back.

 

What Orlando Toyota parts should you be shopping for?

Tip #4: Invest in an amplifier. New speakers mean more power will be needed to get them up and running, and you don’t want it to have a negative effect on your car’s battery. An amplifier will distribute power more efficiently. For a typical sound system, a four-channel amplifier will get the job done but if you add more speakers, you’ll want to consider an amp with additional channels.

Tip #5: Think about a subwoofer. If you want more bass,  you’re going to need one. A subwoofer is a certain type of speaker that adds a deeper sound to your audio and can even shake your car if turned up loud enough. Just remember, this is a BIG speaker and will likely need to go in your trunk, so make sure you have enough space in your Orlando Toyota.
