Summer is coming – things are already heating up here in Central Florida as we faced record highs in the 90s this weekend. With summer comes some pretty intense sun, and that sun can do some serious damage to your car if you’re not prepared for it. Toyota of Orlando is here with quick car care tips to help you protect your car from the sun all summer long.

Toyota of Orlando tips

Use these 6 tips to protect your ride

Tip #1: Wax

Wax is your #1 defense against the sun if you want your car’s paint to stay looking like-new. Our Orlando auto service center recommends that you invest in a quality wax and apply several coats to your car a few times a year as part of your car care routine – every three months should do the job to protect your car’s paint from harsh UV rays that can cause fading and peeling. Ask the Toyota of Orlando parts store which wax is best for your ride.

Tip #2: Park in the shade

If you can park in covered parking, do it. It doesn’t matter if it’s a garage, a carport, or even a big, shady tree – any cover you can afford your Orlando Toyota will help shield if from the sun.

Tip #3: Invest in a sunshade

A sunshade will help protect your car’s dash and interior from the sun. You should get a quality one (the cheap ones tend to be too flimsy to last long) and put it up in your windshield every time you park your car. This simple car care step will also help keep things cooler in the interior of your car.

Tip #4: Consider tint

Tint is another great way to shield the interior of your car from the sun AND keep things cooler. And the best news? We offer affordable tinting services right here at Toyota of Orlando. Schedule an appointment today at our auto service center.

Tip #5: Buy seat covers and a steering wheel cover

Still concerned about the interior of your car? You should be – sunlight coming in the windows and windshield can fade your upholstery and the plastic in your car. It can also cause leather seats to crack. Seat covers and a steering wheel cover can protect your interior as well as offer a more affordable way to switch up the look of the interior.

Tip #6: Condition leather well

We mentioned that the sun can do a number on leather seats, shifters, and steering wheels. Seat covers and a sunshade are a great deterrent to this damage, but you should still ensure that you condition anything leather well and make it a normal part of your car care routine.

In the wake of COVID-19, the entire state of Florida has been put under a stay-at-home order until the end of April. That means 4 weeks of staying home unless you’re an essential worker or on an essential errand. That also means 4 weeks of probably not driving your car much, which can be a big change if you regularly commute on a daily basis to school or work. But just because you’re not driving your car often doesn’t mean you can let maintenance slip – in fact, there are certain car care items you’ll want to check off the list while your car sits in the driveway. Here’s the info you need straight from our Orlando Toyota service techs.

Don’t skip this essential car care during quarantine

Orlando Toyota tips

Tip #1: Keep an eye on your tires. 

When your car sits in one spot for a long time, your tires can develop soft, flat spots. Obviously, when you’re back to hitting the road these flat spots make you incredibly prone to a blowout. To avoid this car care issue, you can move your car a few feet every few days so it’s not putting pressure on the same areas all the time, and check your tire pressure regularly to ensure they’re not losing air.

Tip #2: Go outside and start it every so often. 

You run the risk of your battery going bad if you let your car sit for 30 days, which means you’ll have a hard time getting back up and running when you’re free to do so. Go outside every few days and start your car to top off the battery, and consider taking your ride for a quick drive around the block. (It’ll be a nice break from whoever you’re quarantining with, anyway.)

Tip #3: Don’t skip oil changes. 

Just because you’re sitting at home doesn’t mean you don’t need essential car care like oil changes. Oil can deteriorate with temperature fluctuations, so it’s a good idea to get an oil change now and keep an eye on the condition of the oil by pulling the dipstick out of the engine every few weeks.

Tip #4: Fill up your gas tank now. 

You should fill your gas tank before you stay home if you’re not planning on going anywhere for the next 30 days. If the tank isn’t full, you run the risk of condensation developing inside of it, which can spell big problems. You can even look into fuel-additives that help maintain the integrity of the fuel – ask our Orlando Toyota service center which is best for your car.

Tip #5: Try to find covered parking. 

The sun is out in full force already in Florida, so try to find covered parking for your ride if possible to shield it from paint damage and fading. If nothing else, you may want to look for a car cover to keep it protected for the duration of your quarantine.

A few other things to maintain when it comes to car care? Make sure you visually check your belts, hoses, transmission fluid, and coolant before you hit the road again to ensure all is in order.

Your car battery is an essential part of your car’s performance. It produces a ton of power so that you can both start your car AND keep it running while it’s out on the road. In fact, it produces so much power that without some assistance, it would drain pretty quickly. That’s where your car alternator comes into play – this critical component actually recycles energy to charge your car battery AND help power the electrical system. Without it, you’re going nowhere fast.

That’s why it’s important to be able to recognize when you’re having problems with your car alternator, and Toyota of Orlando’s auto service techs are here to help. Check out their quick checklist and if any of these signs sound familiar, schedule car care with them today!

Orlando Toyota service tips

Don’t ignore these six signs of car alternator issues

Sign #1: The warning light is on 

There’s actually a warning light for your car alternator in some vehicles; it’s shaped like a battery and may say ALT or GEN underneath. However, your battery warning light might also serve as a warning sign that you’re due for some car maintenance at Toyota of Orlando. Don’t ignore it!

Sign #2: Your car battery is giving you trouble 

Does it seem like you’re having trouble getting your car started, even when you know your battery should be good? This can be a sign that your car alternator isn’t working. Remember, it recharges your battery when the engine is running because the battery has to produce so much power. If it’s not working, the battery will start to drain fast.

Sign #3: Your car’s lights are dim 

When you start your vehicle, do you notice that your interior and exterior lights seem dimmer than normal? Or maybe they start out bright but as you drive, they start to dim. This is an indicator of a problem with your car alternator; it helps to power your electrical system, so your lights dimming means the system isn’t getting enough power.

Sign #4: You smell something burning when the car is running

Sometimes you can have problems with this essential part because of the belts it’s associated with. It works in conjunction with a system of belts and when they aren’t working properly or turning as they should, they can create friction. In turn, this can create a weird burning smell (kind of like an electrical fire) when your car is in action. Luckily, our Orlando car maintenance techs can fix this by tightening or repairing the belts to get you back out on the road.

Sign #5: You see a broken belt

If you can actually see a broken belt under the hood, that’s likely your issue! Bring your car to Toyota of Orlando to have our expert auto service techs get things up and running again.

Sign #6: You hear grinding or whining noises from the engine bay

Your car alternator has to utilize a lot of moving parts to be able to create all the necessary power. If one of those parts breaks or comes loose, it can create odd noises inside the engine bay. If you hear these alongside any of the above signs, it’s time to visit our Toyota service center.

The rainy season is on its way – we’re getting our fair share of wet weather this weekend in Central Florida. Are you ready for our notorious summer thunderstorms? It seems it rains nearly every day in the summer in the City Beautiful, and it can make your daily commute a little bit messier than usual if you’re not prepared. Check out our car care tips for getting your ride ready for the rainy season, and visit our Orlando Toyota service center to make it happen!

tips for driving in rain

Don’t skip these four car care appointments before rainy season starts

TIRES

Before rainy season arrives, take the time to check out your tires. How’s the tread looking? You can do a simple tread check by inserting a penny into the tread of your car’s tire with Abe Lincoln’s head down. If you can see the top of his hair, then your tread depth is too low and you need new tires. Tires without the proper amount of tread can’t grip the road, especially in wet weather, which means you’re at high risk of getting into an accident. You should also stay on top of car care like tire rotations, wheel alignments, and inflation.

BRAKES

Slick conditions may mean you need to come to a sudden or unexpected stop to avoid road hazards and other vehicles. Are your brakes in good enough shape to handle it? Make sure you stay on top of car care like brake service at our Orlando Toyota service center so you’re ready for anything, no matter how wet the weather outside.

car care for rain

WIPERS

Are your wipers in good enough condition to tackle the rainy season? They should be able to clear your windshield with every pass. If your windshield wipers are smearing water around, leaving streaks, or making squealing or chittering noises, then you need to visit our car care center for a new set. We can help you pick them out AND install them on your car.

HEADLIGHTS

You’ll also need to ensure your headlights are in good condition when the weather is wet. You should always turn on your headlights (but not your brights) when driving in the rain so other drivers can see you. Check your brake lights and turn signals, too, so other drivers know where you’re going and when you’re slowing down or stopping. And just a friendly reminder – you should NOT drive with your hazard lights on in heavy rain. These lights are only intended for use if you’re pulled over on the side of the road and trying to alert other drivers of your car’s whereabouts.

Toyota is renowned globally for having a wide variety of drive time options. We make trucks, sedans, SUVs, hybrids, minivans, hatchbacks, coupes, sports cars, and more, giving our drivers a vast array of choices when it comes to finding the perfect new car. And one more is being added to the lineup – it was just announced that an all-new Toyota SUV is hitting the market in Europe, and Toyota of Orlando has the details.

Toyota crossover

Meet the 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross

Get ready to meet the new 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross… if you live in Europe, that is. This compact SUV won’t be available stateside, but it’s still a pretty cool vehicle that we’d like to get behind the wheel of. Here are some of the details we’ve gathered so far!

  • This new Toyota crossover was supposed to be unveiled to the public at the Geneva Motor Show back in the beginning of March, but that show was postponed due to COVID-19. Toyota decided to reveal the Toyota Yaris Cross on their website last week instead to give consumers a sneak preview.
  • The 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross will have the same wheelbase as the Toyota Yaris, but is more spacious thanks to a taller height, more interior space, and longer overhangs. This new Toyota also showcases the new TNGA platform.
  • Should you choose to get behind the wheel, this Toyota SUV will also offer a hybrid engine option, as well as either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. It’ll have a 1.5L 3-cylinder engine under the hood and drivers will be able to choose between a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission.
  • In terms of looks, this new Toyota reminds us of the Orlando Toyota C-HR. The original Toyota Yaris is sporty, compact, and fun, but this Toyota SUV showcases a sleeker and more sophisticated look. It’s more angular and aggressive, packing features like a 2-color paint scheme, edgy new headlights, brand-new taillights, and black wheel arch surrounds.
  • The interior is more spacious than the Orlando Toyota Yaris, but has a similar feel in terms of design. It also offers touchscreen audio and will have both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to keep you connected at all times.

Toyota hybrid

  • While we won’t be seeing the 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross at Toyota of Orlando anytime soon, it’s been announced that the SUV will be up for grabs in Japan this fall (2020) while Europe will see it sometime in the middle of 2021.

Test drive the 2020 Toyota C-HR today at Toyota of Orlando

We’re bummed we won’t see the 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross arriving at our Orlando Toyota dealership anytime soon, but then we remembered – we have the Toyota C-HR. It’s our sleek, stylish, and one-of-a-kind compact SUV, and you can get behind the wheel of it today! Just give us a call to set up a test drive. Toyota of Orlando is open seven days a week at (407) 298-4500, and we’re conveniently located just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

 

Summer is coming to the City Beautiful, which means temperatures are about to climb (they’re already in the 90s and we foresee them creeping upward in the next month or so). This intense season can do a number on your car if you’re not ready for it, but don’t worry – Toyota of Orlando is here to get you prepped and ready with seasonal car maintenance for summer today. Even if you’re spending your summer social distancing, you still need a reliable ride to get to the grocery store and other essential errands. Let us help you have a car that you can depend on, no matter how hot the weather!

seasonal car service

Schedule these four seasonal car maintenance appointments before summer arrives

1. Schedule an oil change. Oil will keep your engine cool and lubricated no matter how hot it gets outside, and without it you’re running a big risk of serious damage and very expensive repairs. Schedule an Orlando oil change as part of your seasonal car maintenance to ensure your oil tank is full of clean oil. This way, your engine can stay cool when working hard and you have a reliable ride all summer long.

2. Have your tires rotated. Your tires take a beating in the summer. Not only is it hot out, the pavement is also extremely hot. You should schedule a tire rotation for your seasonal car maintenance so your tires wear evenly, but also have our techs inspect your tires. They can check to ensure they don’t have any issues other than normal wear and tear and that they’re inflated to the right PSI for safety and fuel efficiency.

3. Have our techs inspect your air conditioning. There’s not much worse than riding around in a car with no air conditioning. Have our techs inspect your system NOW for any flaws or issues that might prevent you from staying cool this summer. They can get you on track to a much more comfortable drive time in no time!

Orlando Toyota service tips

4. Buy new wiper blades. Summer means rain in Central Florida (contrary to what tourists think). Make sure you’re ready to complete your commute in bad weather – get a new set of wiper blades! Yours are probably worn out from the heat last summer, so get a fresh pair at our Orlando Toyota parts store. Our techs can even help you install them!

Toyota of Orlando’s DIY tips for summer car prep

And here are a few DIY things you can tackle from the comfort of your garage (or just ask our techs – they’re happy to help!):

  • Check your coolant levels – make sure you take a peek at your coolant tank to ensure it’s full and ready to handle the heat.
  • Inspect under the hood – be on the lookout for any cracked or worn belts and hoses that could lead to issues when faced with summer heat
  • Ask our techs to check your battery – you don’t want to be stranded with a dead car if your battery isn’t ready for summer

And don’t forget to wax your car! The summer sun is intense and can damage your car’s paint over time. Get a quality wax from the Toyota of Orlando parts store and give your ride a coat of sunscreen.

Going green is pretty easy nowadays. There are plenty of eco-friendly solutions for almost every problem, especially when it comes to driving. There are tons of hybrid car options on the market, including right here at Toyota of Orlando. However, the lineup is about to be expanded – two new Toyota hybrids are about to be unveiled on May 18th. Toyota hasn’t said much in regards to what these brand-new models will have to offer, but there ARE a few theories floating around the internet.

Orlando Toyotas

Three possible new Toyota hybrids that could be headed our way

The first rumor is that the 2021 Toyota Sienna will be available in a hybrid drivetrain. This family-friendly Orlando Toyota is already the epitome of comfort and convenience when it comes to your drive time – it offers the best safety and entertainment technology for you and your passengers and additionally tacks on features like dual power sliding doors, a spacious interior that’s easily rearranged, and a super sleek and stylish exterior that breaks the “soccer mom” mold. We’d love to see this Toyota hybrid hit the market and offer an even greener option for your day-to-day commute.

The second rumor that’s floating around involves the once-loved Toyota Venza. This popular crossover was retired in 2013 but there are whispers that it’s about to be revived as a Toyota hybrid and put back on the market. Judging from its prior models, this new Toyota would be spacious but compact (like the Orlando Toyota RAV4) and offer plenty of entertainment and convenience technology. It would also offer a comfortable interior with luxury accents and a sporty, stylish exterior. And the fuel efficiency would definitely be boosted thanks to the new hybrid drivetrain. This Toyota hybrid would likely drop in 2022.

The third and final rumor that’s making its way around the internet is that the popular Orlando Toyota Tundra will be getting a hybrid drivetrain option for drivers who need a truck with power and durability but also want to save on fuel and make their commute a bit greener. 2021 could bring a new electrified twin-turbo 3.5L V6 into the picture, which would offer upwards of 350 horsepower for some pretty impressive power.

New special edition Orlando Toyota Prius coming soon

new Toyota in Central Florida

Additionally, a new special edition Toyota Prius will be introduced in the next few weeks. The 2021 Toyota Prius 2020 Edition will celebrate 20 years of this hybrid vehicle in the US and the innovation that it’s brought to the market. Only 2,020 models will be made, so it’s a limited edition and will offer a unique exterior (available in Wind Chill Pearl or Supersonic Red with tons of blacked-out accents) and updated driver assistance technology.

Regardless, we’re thrilled to see two new Toyota hybrids headed our way. These versatile vehicles always come decked out with top technology both under the hood and inside the cabin and are an easy way to make your time on the road a lot greener. They also save money thanks to their fuel efficiency, so your fuel stops will be few and far between.

We’ll keep you posted on what’s to come, but you can also explore all of our existing Orlando Toyota hybrid options today! Shop online or call for an appointment at (407) 298-4500.

 

You probably know by now, but two brand-new Toyota hybrids are coming to Toyota of Orlando in the near future… in 2021, the Toyota Sienna will offer a much greener drive time and the once-loved Toyota Venza will be reintroduced to the market to offer you yet another hybrid solution. Toyota of Orlando has the scoop on what these 3 new Toyota hybrid options will be bringing to the table when they arrive.

2021 Toyota Venza

new Toyota crossover

Do you remember the Toyota Venza? It was retired back in 2015, but during its run, it was a popular option for drivers who wanted a sleek midsize SUV that offered both fuel efficiency and the amenities of a family vehicle. Here’s what the new 2021 model will offer when it arrives at Toyota of Orlando:

  • A hybrid drivetrain that’s offering Toyota Hybrid System II and advanced Electronic On-Deman All-Wheel Drive, which means it’s basically ready for anything
  • A build on the TNGA-K platform, which means you’ll have superior handling and a more peaceful and quiet drive
  • A 2.5L inline-four engine with three electric motors, which means you’ll get around 40mpg combined when you get behind the wheel
  • Several different trim-levels to choose from so you can customize your drive time, including the option of a fixed panoramic glass roof
  • Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 as a standard feature for all grades, as well as Predictive Efficient Drive (PED). This special technology puts the navigation to use and analyzes your driving habits and which roads you travel to help optimize the use of your car’s hybrid battery system.
  • A 12.3″ touchscreen display, 9 JBL speakers, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and more

2021 Toyota Sienna

Orlando Toyota minivan

We didn’t see this coming, but the 2021 Toyota Sienna will offer a completely new type of driving experience. For the next model year, it’s not just getting a facelift – it’ll also be going green. This Orlando Toyota hybrid will offer a hybrid drivetrain in the next iteration, and it’ll be standard across all trim-levels! Here are some more details:

  • The aforementioned Toyota Hybrid System II, which means 243 horsepower and 33 mpg combined
  • Standard Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 on ALL models
  • A new digital rearview mirror and Driver Easy Speak, as well as an optional 1080p HD rear entertainment system
  • Features designed to enhance versatility, including a kick-open rear liftgate and dual sliding doors, an onboard vacuum, a cooler box, and more
  • Second-row seating that includes heated long-slide captain’s chairs and ottomans and enough seating for seven inside the cabin
  • The new TNGA-K driving platform, which means your drive time will be much quieter and more comfortable
  • 18 cupholders and multiple USB ports for charging throughout the cabin (the necessities)
  • An optional towing hitch and Yakima accessories

We can’t wait for these new Toyota hybrids to arrive at our Orlando Toyota dealership, and we think when they arrive you’ll understand why! If you want to make your drive time that much greener, call us for details. We’ll keep you posted as to when these new Toyota hybrids will get here and schedule you a test drive as soon as they hit the lot! You can reach us seven days a week at (407) 298-4500.

Is the exterior of your car looking a little worse for the wear? Whether a branch fell and scratched the hood or someone got a little too friendly with their shopping car in the parking lot, car paint damage happens. It can leave your car looking less-than-new and over time, actually lead to rust damage (which is expensive and time-consuming to fix). Toyota of Orlando is here with tips to help you combat car paint damage at home (unless you’re not feeling confident, in which case our Toyota Collision Center has got you covered!).

DIY car care tips

Toyota of Orlando’s paint for getting rid of scratches

First things first – before you actually get to work, you need to figure out how deep the scratch is and if you’re capable of handling it from home. Your car paint has several layers that give it both durability and shine, including the base body panel coat, a primer coat, clay bar wax, the actual body paint coat, and then a clear coat to protect it and give it shine. Here’s how to tell how deep that scratch actually is:

  • Clear coat scratches are visible but fade when your car gets wet and then reappear when it dries.
  • A body coat scratch won’t fade but actually looks white inside the scratch.
  • A base body panel or primer scratch (the deepest) is gray or black in color.

Once you’ve determined what type of car paint damage you have and whether or not you feel comfortable fixing it, it’s time to gather supplies. For this DIY auto repair, you’ll need a few clean microfiber cloths, sandpaper, fine scratch polish, soapy water, and a power polisher.

Repair your car paint damage like a pro

Step 1: Clean the area where the car paint damage is with the soapy water and dry it with a microfiber cloth. This will help prevent you from polishing or rubbing sand or grit into the paint, damaging it further. Then, tape the area off. This will help you remember the exact area you should be working in.

Step 2: Begin sanding. You’ll want to be careful – our Orlando Toyota collision center recommends starting with a 3000 fine grit sandpaper (5000 will also be OK) and wrapping a dish sponge in the paper so you avoid pressure points from your fingertips showing up in your sanding. Apply soapy water to the area you’re going to sand and get started. You should use medium pressure and sand until the area has a hazy look and you can no longer see the scratch.

Step 3: Get polishing and waxing. If you can’t see the scratch anymore, then it’s time to move to the next step. Continue with a little bit of sanding – this time you want to sand around the scratch and existing sanded area to add a little feathering to the hazy area (this is what the 5000 fine grit sandpaper is for). Next, take some polish on a microfiber rag and apply it to the hazy area. This will help sand down the area further and restore shine. Finally, apply clay bar wax to the area to finish the process and get it looking like-new again.

Are you considering buying a used car? If you want peace of mind, then it’s critical that you know how to approach the shopping process. This includes taking a test drive, requesting a CarFax report and vehicle maintenance records, and actually going to see the car in person so you can do a walkaround inspection and take a close look at the interior, exterior, and under the hood. After all, this is one of the best ways to spot any issues that you might otherwise not know about… like flood damage.

salvage car

When a used car is flooded, it can do serious damage to almost every element. You can have rust on unpainted metal surfaces, a moldy or mildewy interior, and damage to your electronics. However, some of the worst damage won’t be visible to the naked eye because it’ll be under the hood inside the engine and its components. Flooding can damage your engine, transmission, exhaust system, ignition, hoses and belts, and more. An easy way to find out about flood damage is to check the CarFax report – some states require that this is reported and that the car is marked as “flooded” or salvaged. However, not all states require this designation. That’s why it’s critical to know how to spot flood damage from the get-go, so you don’t have to deal with costly repairs down the road in your ownership. Toyota of Orlando is here to help you pinpoint this particular type of damage while you do your walkaround inspection – check out our checklist below!

5 signs a used car has suffered flood damage

Sign #1: Rust on unpainted metal. 

Any unpainted metal that’s exposed to moisture has a chance of rusting, and this is especially true when a car is submerged. You should check the unpainted metal in places like under the seats, under the pedals, under the hood, the door handles, and the trunk. If you spot rust, it’s likely that either the car was in a flood OR it hasn’t been maintained well – either way, it’s a no-go.

Sign #2: An interior that smells moldy or musty. 

If the interior of the car smells musty or moldy OR has been doused with air freshener, it’s a sign of flooding. Water will make the carpet and upholstery stink and typically a buyer who wants to hide a particular smell will overuse the air freshener.

Sign #3: Brand-new or mismatched carpet and upholstery. 

Does the carpet match the interior of the car? What about the upholstery? Mismatched carpet or upholstery means it was replaced, which could mean this used car was flooded. Additionally, if the car is older and the carper or upholstery looks a lot newer, there’s a chance it was replaced due to flood damage.

Toyota of Orlando tips

Sign #4: Fogging or moisture in the headlights, instrument panel, or taillights. 

Take a look at the lights and the instrument panel of the car. If you see fogging inside of them or water droplets, the car has been in a flood and likely has other damage.

Sign #5: Mud or silt inside the trunk lid or in the engine block. 

If you spot mud or silt still inside of the engine or inside the trunk lid, you can bet this used car has suffered flood damage.
