Have Your Service Questions Answered with Our FAQ

It can be challenging to know the intricacies of auto service and what your vehicle needs. However, it doesn't have to be when you choose our Toyota-authorized service center. We help drivers stay up to date with their service needs and keep their vehicles running smoothly. While you may have many questions about your vehicle service, we have answers and offer certified service to meet your needs.

What Causes Anti-Lock Brake Problems?

Many issues concerning anti-lock brakes originate from sensors contaminated with debris or metal shavings. You may even be able to see damaged wiring if you look closely enough. We can solve your anti-lock brake problems by physically checking all wiring and the brake sensors, removing debris, and repairing wiring.

When Should I Get Brake Service?

We recommend you change your brake pads between 20 to 60 thousand miles and have your brakes checked every six months. Driving habits and conditions can cause your brakes to wear out more quickly, so it's crucial to watch for signs of wear and schedule an appointment when you see any red flags. Some red flags include screeching noises, spongy braking sensations, and long brake pedal distances.

What Does the TPMS Indicator Mean?

The TPMS refers to the tire pressure monitoring system, which alerts you when your vehicle's tire pressure is low and can create unsafe driving conditions. Most tires should be refilled every month or so, depending on the weather. If you have a flat tire, we recommend you seek immediate help. Driving with low tire pressure can cause damage to your vehicle.

If your TPMS won't turn off even after filling the tires, our service team can run diagnostics and reset the notification.

What Does it Mean When it Says Service Electronic Parking Brake?

When the brake service indicator appears on your dashboard, there may be a hydraulic loss on one side of your vehicle, or your brake fluid is low in your master cylinder.

Why is My Car Infotainment System Not Working?

Whether it's a software or hardware issue, our team can help you correct your infotainment system. Many drivers experience issues with their infotainment systems when there is a damaged or defective fuse, issues with brightness, or malfunctioning connector wires. While changing the system's brightness can be an easy fix, our team offers the equipment and training necessary to take on more challenging issues.

What's Wrong with Connected Services?

If you're experiencing issues with connecting a new device or activating Toyota Connected Services, our team can help you troubleshoot. However, we recommend contacting the connected services customer service for more complicated issues.

Why Can't My Toyota Connect to Apple CarPlayĀ®?

If your iPhone restricts access to Apple CarPlayĀ®, you won't be able to connect. You can change your restriction settings to enable Apple CarPlayĀ®. If the issue persists, you may need to forget the vehicle in your settings and set it up again.

Are Toyota Hybrid Models Hard to Maintain?

No, hybrid vehicles typically require the same amount of service that vehicles with combustible engines need. You will still need routine maintenance like other vehicles, including services like oil changes and filter replacements.

Do I Need a New Battery?

If your vehicle is having trouble starting or you notice dim or flickering lights, it may be an issue with your battery. Our team can check and clean cables and connections before recommending a new battery.
