Why Choose Genuine Replacement Parts Over Aftermarket Parts?

No matter how well we care for and maintain our vehicles, eventually something will need replacing. Most of the time it will simply be due to normal wear and tear, but sometimes a ding or crash is responsible. Whatever the reason, if you need repairs and parts you usually have two options. You can go to your local dealership and buy genuine parts, or you can head to an independent garage or general repair facility that offers non-genuine parts, usually referred to as “aftermarket” parts.

Why You Need to Change Your Vehicle’s Cabin Air Filter
Why You Need to Change Your Vehicle’s Cabin Air Filter

A cabin air filter prevents stuff like dirt, dust, smoke, smog, pollen, mold, and exhaust from entering the cabin of your vehicle through the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. It also keeps out other debris, such as bugs, rodent droppings, and leaves. They are typically rectangular and made of paper and a mix of other fibrous materials. They also feature pleats to better catch the contaminants. When air passes through the cabin air filter, debris is trapped rather than going into the vehicle. Eventually, that debris will build up, making it necessary for the filter to be changed to continue to work efficiently.

Get Set for Summer

Your Toyota is more than a ride, it’s part of your family. So take care of it this spring and get set for a great summer. These four services keep your Toyota spic-and-span on the inside and out, which may help improve vehicle performance and can keep your car in tip-top shape all year long. When you bring in your Toyota to swap your winter tires for your summer set (when the average temperature goes above 7°C, time to change your tires) ask your Toyota Service Advisor about these four services.

TOYOTA COMBUSTION AND EFI SYSTEM CLEANER SERVICE
Did you know environmental conditions, driving habits or poor quality gasoline can cause build-up in your vehicle’s fuel and combustion systems? This can lead to compromised fuel economy and performance. Our Toyota Combustion and EFI System Cleaner Service is a two-step 360° fuel system cleaning process that helps clean and eliminate contaminants and deposits in the combustion chambers and on intake and exhaust valves. Performed by Toyota University-Trained Technicians, this service restores efficiency to the EFI system and improves fuel economy. We recommend this service every 80,000 km or if performance issues exist.

TOYOTA COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER
Gasoline contains a lot of additives. These additives can leave behind deposits that build up inside your engine, causing it to run less efficiently. Created by the people who know your Toyota best, Toyota Genuine Complete Fuel System Cleaner removes deposits that build up inside your car’s engine. This helps eliminate engine hesitation and rough idling, restores lost power and acceleration, reduces exhaust emissions, prevents engine knocking, and keeps your fuel system clean. Not sure if this product is right for your vehicle? This genuine Toyota product can be used on all types of gasoline engines. It’s also very easy to use. Just ask your Toyota Service Advisor how to use it, or we can do it for you. It’s recommended to use Toyota Genuine Complete Fuel System Cleaner every 10,000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first.

A/C REFRESHER SERVICE
Breathe easy with an A/C Refresher Service performed by Toyota University Trained Technicians. The ventilation system in your Toyota is engineered to filter out the maximum amount of particulates (like dust, pollen, and pollution) while allowing an open flow of clean air into the vehicle. Over time, particulates start to build up. Adding an A/C inspection to your spring-cleaning routine will help you avoid any larger Toyota ventilation system issues down the road, plus you’ll be breathing in fresh air all year long. The A/C Refresher Service is a two-part process. The first step involves spraying our A/C Power Foam (a heavy-duty detergent coil cleaner) which foams during application. When injected through the A/C drain tube, the foam absorbs dirt and other residue. It then breaks down into a liquid and drains out of the drain tube, which removes all contaminants in one easy treatment. For the second step, we use the A/C to clean and freshen the air ducts in the system, eliminating unwanted odours. Our A/C Refresher Service will leave your Toyota with a fresh, clean, scent-free vehicle.

AUTO DETAILING: SQUEAKY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT
Now that your car’s internal spring cleaning has been checked off the list, it’s time get your Toyota detailed! Proper cleaning and auto detailing are key to keeping your Toyota looking its best, and getting that new-car look is easy with Toyota Touch products and Detailing services. All Toyota Touch products are made right here in Canada and are designed specifically for Toyota vehicles. Our products are constantly updated to ensure they provide maximum effectiveness for specific interior and exterior coverings, and they don’t contain any harsh chemicals or phosphates. You can find Toyota Touch products exclusively at your local Toyota dealership. And if you don’t want to detail your car yourself, some Toyota dealerships also offer three different automotive detailing options, all performed by fully trained Toyota certified detailers: Deluxe, Premium, and Ultimate. You can also select an a la cart service option, where you can pick and choose automotive detailing services at participating Toyota dealers.

Get your Toyota off to a fresh start this season by adding these four services to your spring-cleaning routine. Speak to your Toyota Service Advisor to learn more about these services, or book an appointment today at a Toyota Dealership near you.
