Drivers who neglect routine maintenance are shortening the lifespan of their cars by tens of thousands of miles. They also experience worse overall vehicle performance, more frequent faults, and greater expense on repairs. Visiting your Toyota dealership for regular service benefits you in so many ways; let’s look into them.

Enjoy Your Daily Drives More

A properly lubricated engine with healthy spark plugs and fuel injectors will generate more power and run more quietly. Likewise, fully maintained transmissions, brakes, exhaust systems, and electronics perform as they should provide you with a smoother and more pleasurable driving experience.

Save Money on Repair Costs

Your car also becomes less expensive to own with regular checkups and services. A great deal of wear and tear is avoided; our technicians can identify and repair small malfunctions before they develop and spread to other car parts. It’s so much cheaper to replace a clogged air filter and fouled spark plugs, for example, than a catalytic converter that’s been destroyed by these issues left to grow. 

Boost Your Car’s Gas Mileage

One neglected part, such as a poorly oiled engine, will negatively affect fuel efficiency. And when you have multiple worn-out parts, like uneven tires, worn-out struts, and a grinding transmission, the cumulative impact on gas mileage is huge. With routine services, you’re letting your car squeeze many more miles out of each tank of gas.

Preserve the Value of Your Car

Your car will last much longer when diligently cared for, which matters hugely to potential buyers. If you want to keep the option open of selling your car one day, it’s important to have a solid servicing history of routine oil changes, air filter replacements, and brake inspections. Also, keep your car’s bodywork clean, waxed, and corrosion-free to preserve its good looks, which buyers also appreciate. 

Stay Safe in Inclement Weather

While driving in wet weather, your tires and suspension should be in tip-top condition. It’s sometimes emergency stop situations that tell a driver how well-kept their car really is; don’t let this be you. If you value your safety and that of your passengers, always have your brakes, steering system, and tires maintained in a timely fashion.
