Toyota Service Center

The Importance of Routine Car Care

Why is car care important, and why is it important to routinely have service done on your vehicle? In the owner's manual, it is regularly suggested to have your Toyota brought in for scheduled service every few thousand miles, and this is so that you can get the most longevity out of the vehicle and ultimately have it last for hundreds of thousands of miles and many, many years. If that is important to you, then routine car care should be a top priority on your list.

Having a service center available to bring your Toyota to for routine care means one less problem you have to think about and one less consideration you need to make for your vehicle, as you can far more likely avoid component failure, stalls, or breakdowns. With our technicians, all you have to do is bring your Toyota in, and we will do the necessary tune-ups, such as checking and changing the oil, topping off other fluids, rotating the tires, and checking the battery charge. These routines are important because they allow us to ensure the longevity of the vehicle and how well or long you'll be able to drive it.

Routine oil changes are necessary to ensure the oil does not clump up or become corroded with particulate matter, which in turn can prevent your engine from staying lubricated and thus cause problems with the pistons, resulting in a critical failure down the line. Regular oil filter changes also ensure that the oil doesn't gather too much dirt and grime and then cause those problems with lubricating the engine.

Tire rotations are also essential to ensure your vehicle holds traction, which could otherwise cause serious issues with how your Toyota handles, as well as issues with wearing down the brake pads quicker and reducing the fuel economy. The same applies to keeping the battery charged to avoid engine starting problems or issues with keeping the vehicle running. Basic, routine care is necessary for the overall health of your vehicle and reducing any potential knock-on effects.

We Can Help With Tire Care and Replacements

Tire care may not get talked about as much as some other service necessities for vehicle maintenance, but tires are some of the most important components on your Toyota—and if you want to keep it running as well as when you bought it, you need tire care at the proper intervals. With Toyota models being known for their dependability and longevity, keeping your tires in good order means keeping your Toyota in good order as well. When you need tire repairs, inspections, rotations, alignments, or replacements, you need to bring your Toyota to us.

The specialists in our service department can ensure you can get the tire care you need. This all starts with a proper inspection so we can estimate where your tires stand, whether they need to be replaced, rotated, or aligned, or if any repairs are necessary. We check to see if your treads are low, the ribs are intact, the blocks are worn down, the grooves have been peeled away, the sipes are still in place, the shoulders are shaved off, or the sidewalls are damaged.

All of these things can affect how your vehicle performs on the road, and too much wear or tear can cause serious issues with handling. For damage on good tires, such as splits or punctures, we can repair them, which can save you from having to completely replace them. If a tire or set is showing lots of tread wear or fabric and inner lining splitting, then it's time to replace them. We have a tire finder available that makes it easy to find the right replacement tires for your Toyota, whether it's a sedan, truck, or SUV. We even have a price match guarantee on select tires to make it cost-effective and give you big savings in doing so.

Did You Know We Offer Overnight Service Hours?

Wouldn't it be nice to drop your car off for its maintenance once you're out of work, and then it could be ready to go by morning? You wouldn't have to waste a chunk of your day taking your car to the dealership, and you wouldn't have to spend your lunch break in the waiting area. McCluskey Chevrolet has the solution for you, with overnight service hours available. If you're busy and don't have the extra time in your day to drop off your vehicle for service, you will now be able to do so once things calm down a bit at night; then, when you're ready to get moving in the morning, your vehicle is ready to be picked up, and you can be on your way.

Not only is this fantastic for customers who don't have much time during their daytime schedules, but it's also great for busy commercial fleet owners who depend on having their vehicles during the workday. There's no downtime when it comes to growing your business, and the last thing you want is to have part of your fleet in the shop for service when you should be out there helping customers. Fortunately, McCluskey Chevrolet is there for all your after-hours service needs, as we understand that not everybody has the extra time to devote to sitting around and waiting for their vehicle to be done in the shop.

This will allow you to keep your Toyota operating at its best because, as you're probably well aware, maintenance plays a critical role in how your vehicle performs.
