Why do I Need a Wheel Alignment?

Driving on properly aligned tires can help improve the safety of your vehicle, help increase the gas mileage you’re able to achieve, and often makes for a smoother ride. Getting regular tire alignments can also save you money in the long run by ensuring that your tires last longer, so you don’t have to replace them as often.

What Happens When you Need a Tire Alignment?

Driving on tires that are out of alignment can cause uneven tread wear and make the tire tread disappear faster. Having uneven tread or low tread is the number one reason for tire replacement in . Failing to have the wheels on your vehicle regularly aligned will cause you to have to replace the tires more quickly.

How Can Tires Come Out of Alignment?

If you replace the tires on your vehicle the alignment can be thrown off. This is why most tire shops offer alignment with a new tire purchase. But your car can also be thrown out of alignment by simply hitting a deep pothole, running over a curb, or hitting another road hazard.

When Should You Get a Alignment Check?

Your vehicle needs the alignment checked after you put new tires on or any time unusual tire wear patterns appear. You might also want to get the alignment checked after you hit something very hard (like a curb or pothole in ) or get into an auto accident, even just a fender bender.

Lifetime Guarantee Battery Failure Replacement – Average Savings of $160

When you start your vehicle, your 12-volt vehicle battery sends power to the engine starter and triggers it to start. Depending on your driving habits and weather conditions the life of your battery may vary.

Your battery will degrade and lose some usable capacity over time to a point that your vehicle may not start. Regular inspection and servicing are important to maintain the life of your battery, and to avoid battery failure.

Battery Care Tips

When should you service your car battery?

Sluggish start: If your vehicle starts slowly or there is a slight pause/hesitation when starting the engine.

Prolonged inactivity: A battery will slowly lose its charge simply from sitting unused for an extended period of time, especially in hot climates.

Headlights or interior lights left on: This will slowly drain your battery.

After a jump-start: A failed start could indicate a battery condition that needs to be checked out.

Battery Lingo

Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) the intermediate power your battery delivers to crank your engine.

Reserve Capacity (RC) the steady power your battery provides the electrical system when the alternator is not operating.

General Information

• Heat, cold, and inactivity are a battery’s main adversaries. While increasing cold will gradually reduce the battery’s ability to generate power to start your vehicle, heat accelerates corrosion and other damage to internal battery components. That damage will ultimately reduce the life of the battery.
• Taking many short trips, which includes constantly shutting down and restarting your engine, may drain your battery of power.
• Keeping your battery terminals clean and free of corrosion will help provide maximum starting power to your vehicle.

Lifetime Guarantee Brake Pads Failure Replacement – Average Savings of $115

– $9.95 with Purchase of Front or Rear Brakes and $18.95 with Purchase of Both Front and Rear Brakes.

When you press the brake pedal, the friction material on the brake pad is pushed against the discs to create resistance in the rotation of the discs, forcing the wheels and tires to slow or stop the vehicle.

Every time the brakes are used, a small portion of material or “lining” is worn off. Eventually, the thickness of the material will begin to wear down, requiring replacement.

Depending on driving habits, operating conditions, vehicle usage and proper maintenance, the wear of your brake pads will vary.Regular inspection & servicing are important  to maintain the wear of your brake pads.

Toyota Genuine Brake Pads are specifically designed for the stable braking in all Canadian season: fall, winter and spring

What do Brake Pads do?

When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, the caliper clamps the brake pads against each side of the brake rotor, creating friction and slowing your vehicle down.

Brake pads must create the proper amount of friction to deliver smooth stopping performance with a minimum of noise while operating under the harshest conditions.

Why service them?

Brake pads are a critical part of your braking system.

Pads are designed to wear with use and the rate of wear depends on usage and loads.

Constant exposure to the elements may result in rust build-up, which can cause brake dragging, pulling, pulsating and/or abnormal noise.

Regular lubrication and cleaning of braking system components helps ensure proper function and reduce premature wear.

When to service?

Brake service should be performed according to the manufacturer’s required maintenance schedule. This will help reduce premature wear and abnormal brake noise during brake application.
