Maintenance Tips for High-Mileage Cars in Tinley Park, IL

Maintenance Tips for High-Mileage Cars in Tinley Park, IL

Drivers who are owners of high-mileage cars will benefit from more frequent maintenance visits to the Orland Toyota service center. But why are these routines so important for aged vehicles? Our team put together this article to show Tinley Park area motorists how the tips below can benefit the overall health of a car.

Engine Oil and Coolant

Some of the most significant fluids running through your combustion system is the oil and coolant. Firstly, the oil serves as a liquid that lubricates the metallic components within the powertrain. Not only does it keep the engine temperature steady, it effectively promotes fuel efficiency, and it can maintain the horsepower and torque of your Toyota. Quite naturally, a car weathered by time may lose luster but having an oil change every four to six months could prolong the life of a motor. Additionally, you’ll benefit from having the coolant checked. Over time, this fluid becomes more corrosive which can damage parts like the radiator. To reduce damage to your systems, think about getting a coolant flush every two years.

Check the Brakes

West 171st Street can get quite busy around the warmer times of the year, so it’s important to have sufficient braking power for your vehicle. If the brake pads have been on your model for more than two years, the wear on those units could decrease the effectiveness of stopping power. Fortunately, these parts can be changed easily on a car with a lot of mileage. When the number on the odometer is over 80,000 miles, you should consider having the rotors turned or have a new set of tires installed. These metallic discs are the surface your brakes squeeze against when your foot is on the pedal. When you have them exchanged, you’ll be able to use them for another seven years. Plus, it’s a good idea to have the brake fluid flushed and replaced with a fresh batch. If you need assistance, visit our Service Department for help.

Transmission Repair

On average, a transmission can last up to 100,000 miles or more. When a high-mileage Toyota reaches the aforementioned estimate, the risk of a mechanical problem increases. During routine maintenance, ask one of our technicians to evaluate the transmission even if it’s running fine. That way, you’ll be able to identify any issues and solve them before they arise. One of the ways you can reduce transmission failure is to have the fluid changed when it becomes dirty. The mechanics at our location can easily determine this through an inspection. If there’s any slippage, an extensive repair may be necessary. Luckily, Orland Park provides service financing to help you split the cost of an expensive fix in several installments, so you’re able to get back to commuting on Harlem Avenue. 

 

5 Maintenance Tips for High-Mileage Cars:

  • Change oil every four to six months
  • Get a coolant flush after two years
  • Consider switching your rotors every 80,000 miles
  • Have your brake fluid changed when it becomes dirty
  • Check your transmission around the 100,000-mile mark

I leased a new Toyota Rav4 and from the minute I walked in I was taken care of. Gregory was great to work with and made the experience so easy and enjoyable. I would not hesitate to send someone to him if they needed a car! Every person I encountered in the dealership was friendly and helpful! Highly recommend this dealership if you are in the market for a new car!

I was very excited when I walked into the Toyota dealer to see a Toyota RAV4 at the time. They did not have the one that I wanted. I want a limited Toyota metallic gray with black interior and they tell me when I can be able to get in a day or two and you come back and I was there on Wednesday and I came back on Thursday and then the next time I came back was on a third flight Saturday and I was able to see my new RAV4 and I am very excited with it. I wouldn’t take nothing for this car this truck. I love it. Thank you.

I could not be happy with Orlando Toyota. It’s been 21 years since I bought a new vehicle (replaced another Toyota), Jim R and Jimmy B explained all the new nuances and worked tirelessly to secure the exact vehicle I wanted (as they said they would) instead of trying to push a fast sale on even a slightly different vehicle - I was finally able to purchase the vehicle I WANTED. I have already referred a friend to Orland Toyota (there are at least 3 different Toyota dealers closer to my residence) and Jim R and will continue to do so. Who said new car shopping is a hassle - my experience was educational, most pleasurable and I like to think I have a couple of new friends…thank you Jim R & Jimmy B! Tim R

(Translated by Google) undefined (Original) This is only the 2nd car I've financed in my lifetime and I intended to always stick with Toyota/Lexus since it's by far the best in the business. I felt safe, and felt cared for as a customer when financing the vehicle I got, and it was an amazing deal with great honesty, transparency and help with answering questions and concerns I have had. Nour by far is one of the best with this. A very kind, and honest person who does incredible work, and helped me land an amazing vehicle. Daniel also did a fantastic job explaining everything and made sure I got the absolute best with my warranties and more. Shout out to them both! They are both incredible people, and incredible at what they do and will 100% make sure you get the best expierence, and grant you complete piece of mind, and take care of any questions and concerns and make sure you get the best vehicle that fits you, and your style. They have a customer in me forever. My expierence there at Orland Toyota was amazing thanks to them! Go to them whenever you're ready to make that jump to the best car brand in the world.

The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I have not experienced the service department yet. If this had been for sales I would have chosen 5 stars. Greg in sales was great to deal with and Jimmy was also great to deal with. This is my second Toyota, the last one I bought in 1984. I hope I have the same good luck with this one.

(Translated by Google) undefined (Original) The wait was long. It was about an hour and a half but I was warned previously that it would take this amount of time. They usually run my car through the wash but didn't this time. Other than that, my Service Technician, Karen, was great! She was very helpful and responsive.

Came in for tire rotation, technician never checked tire pressure. Go back in after I pick it up to have them adjusted properly. The tires are nitrogen filled with green valve stem caps. An employee started to fill with compressed air. Technician had to deflate my tire completely to release the compressed air and re fill properly with nitrogen. Get home and all valve stem caps are missing. Management had technician drive to my home to install missing caps. Sloppy work, but issues where all resolved.
