We are honored to offer our customers an excellent Service Center, fully staffed with certified technicians ready to help you maintain your used Toyota car, truck, or SUV for many years to come. Below we have outlined a general overview of everything you need to know about maintaining your used Toyota vehicle! more Top 5 Most Important Steps It’s extremely easy to get caught up in all of the excitement of your new-to-you Toyota and simply forget the attention your vehicle requires over time, we get it! That’s why it’s our mission to relieve the stress and assist you in the not-so-fun part of maintaining your used Toyota car. Though there are many factors to consider in keeping your used Toyota running a long healthy life, we believe these are the 5 most important things to remember: Oil Changes Tire Pressure and Rotations Air Filters Brake Pads & Fluid Cooling System These 5 factors may heavily influence how long your vehicle will last and the quality of your vehicle performance as well. So, let’s get into each of these! Oil Changes To enjoy your vehicle for many years to come, oil changes are certainly an important task you should keep up with. Oil is what keeps your engine lubricated, and is typically either synthetic or nonsynthetic, depending on the specific make and model of your used Toyota. It is recommended that you get your oil changed every 3,000 miles or 5,000 miles if you use synthetic oil. Dirty oil, low oil, or no oil can seriously damage your engine, so be sure to identify the type of oil you need and inspect it often! Tire Rotations Keeping up with your tires is not only important for the life of your vehicle but the safety of the passengers as well. You should always check the pressure of your tires to make sure they have the correct amount of air, which you can look upon the driver side door jamb sticker or in the owner's manual. Rotating your tires help to even out the wear on your tires, which in turn makes them last longer. Air Filters For sake of your fuel efficiency and vehicle acceleration, you should always remember to change your air filters. Over time, air filters get dirty and clogged, which limits the amount of air flowing into your used Toyota’s engine, which makes it work harder and use more fuel. Changing your air filter is a quick and easy process and could save you tons of money in the long run! Brake Pads & Fluid One thing you don’t want to find out the hard way is that your brakes aren’t working properly. Over time, brake pads get worn thin and rub together, which can create a high-pitched screeching sound, however, we recommend getting them checked periodically before the sounds even arise. You should always monitor your brake pads and braking fluid. Leaking brake fluid is a sure sign that your brakes need immediate attention. Cooling System Lastly, we recommend always checking the levels of the coolant in your vehicle. Coolant (aka antifreeze) is responsible for keeping your engine cool during high temperatures and also helps prevent it from freezing in lower temperatures. Coolant also helps prevent corrosion, foam, and deposits from forming which could also hurt your engine Stop by Team Toyota for Maintenance on Your Used Vehicle Team Toyota is pleased to offer high-quality service on all used vehicles for all of Baton Rouge, Hammond, Denham Springs, and surrounding communities.

Summer is the perfect season for a new car: the summer sun, newfound free time, and fun drives around southern Louisiana beckon for a new driving experience. Of course, the savvy driver understands that "new" doesn't have to mean more than "new to you!" more A used SUV, car, or truck comes with nearly every benefit of a brand-new vehicle, with none of the drawbacks. You can enjoy the assurance and reliability of a new car with Toyota's Certified Used Vehicle program and build quality. And when buying a used car from Team Toyota, you won't have to worry about the dreaded depreciation of a new car while still enjoying modern technology. Buying a Used Truck, SUV, or Car Means More Bang for your Buck Obviously, the sticker price of a used vehicle is lower than a new one. What might not be so obvious is what factors into that lower price, and how those factors can lead to cheaper leadership throughout your life with a used car. During the first three years of a car's life, it loses about 40% of its value through depreciation (though of course, that number depends on the make, model, year, and options of the car -- Toyotas, in particular, hold their values better than average). After those first three years, they depreciate much more slowly, meaning that on average, you'll save $14,000 over the life of your vehicle by purchasing one that's three years old over a new one. Since a used car is valued less than a new car, it insures for less as well. But how can you save even more?! Our used specials will help you get into a new-to-you used vehicle without breaking the bank. Additionally, there are savings that you can get from cheaper licensing, registration, and inspection fees in most states, and it begins to make even more financial sense to buy used! Peace of Mind Comes Easily with Legendary Toyota Reliability The main worry about buying a used SUV, car, or truck is how well it'll stay in good condition under your care. With Toyota's well-known build quality, it's no wonder so many used trucks, cars, and SUVs on the road today are Toyotas: they're just well-built and hold their value longer. In fact, they're so confident about the build quality that they implemented the Toyota Certified Used Vehicle Program to provide even more peace of mind to their customers. A Certified Used Toyota is so much more than just a used car. Before it hits the lot, it's subjected to a 160-point inspection to ensure its quality, and afterward, it's covered by Toyota's Certified Used Warranty. With the guarantee that all Toyota Certified Used SUVs, trucks, and cars are younger than six years and have fewer than 85,000 miles, you'll have plenty of time to drive around your used Toyota.
