  • What happens if I don’t change my oil?

    Oil is the lubricant that keeps your vehicle operating. If you decide to not change your oil, then it will break down and leave sludge in your vehicle’s engine. Lack of proper Toyota or Lexus repair will eventually wear the vehicle down and cause it to no longer work. According to Toyota Direct, most Toyota models require an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on driving conditions. It's crucial to follow a maintenance schedule that fits both your vehicle needs and your driving style.

  • How often should I have my brakes checked?

    A good rule of thumb is to get your brakes checked whenever you rotate your tires; around every six months. We recommend measuring at each regular service interval. Not replacing your brake pads during your Lexus or Toyota repair will severely reduce your stopping power, your brakes will wear on your brake discs, and this can lead to more costly repairs down the line.

  • Do you have loan vehicles available?

    Yes! We go above and beyond with Toyota and Lexus repair and offer loan vehicles on an as-needed basis. Give TLS Auto Specialist to learn more.

  • Is it really necessary to replace my timing belt at the recommended interval?

    Yes! The failure of a timing belt in many cars can result in major engine damage. The cost of repairing an engine with a broken timing belt is much greater than the cost of a timing belt replacement. When you want to save money on Toyota and Lexus repair, maintenance is key!

  • When should I replace my car's fuel filter?

    To help ensure dependable, trouble-free performance, replace your car's fuel filter approximately every 30,000 miles or as recommended in your vehicle's owner's manual. When you have questions about Lexus and Toyota repair or maintenance, our team can help!

  • What should I do if my car starts to overheat?

    This is a very serious problem. If your car overheats for too long, you can damage your engine. Find a safe place to pull off the road and shut the engine off as soon as possible! Do not attempt to check the fluid level in the radiator; the hot fluid can cause severe burns. Contact professionals to assess the issue and supply Lexus and Toyota repair!
