Be Cool Honey Bunny, Be Cool

Is your car working hard or working smart? There is such a thing as doing too much! AVOID doing these two things and watch your summer get a whole lot cooler.
NEVER turn your car off without switching the AC off first! Powering off your vehicle while the air is still running creates a small shock in the air conditioning system that can have damaging side effects over time. Ideally, you should switch off the AC a few blocks from your destination. It’s fine to keep the fan running.
NEVER crank your AC from 0 to full blast! We understand that it’s hot outside, but forcing your car to blast all of that energy at once doesn’t make the air cool faster. Start your AC on the lowest setting and work your way towards the smaller temps.

Getting Your Toyota in Shape for Summer

As the calendar turns to the summer season, many of us will be hitting the road for vacation. But before you head out, make sure your car is in great driving condition. With the temps starting to rise, don’t forget to check your engine hoses for cracks, leaks and loose connections. They should be firm, never soft and malleable.
