With spring just around the corner, it's time to get your Toyota ready for the warmer weather ahead. Here at Fitzgerald Toyota Gaithersburg, we want to make sure your car is safe and ready to hit the road this season. Follow these spring car care tips to keep your Toyota in top condition.

What Type of Tire Service Do I Need?

After a winter of snow, ice, and potholes, your tires may need some TLC. Examine tires for uneven wear and check tread depth. Tires with less than 3/32 inches of tread may need to be replaced. Also, check tire pressure and inflate to the PSI listed in your owner's manual or inside the driver's door jamb. Proper inflation promotes even wear and improves fuel economy. For the best tire selection, visit our Toyota service center in Gaithersburg.

Why is Cleaning Your Car So Important?

Road salt, dirt, and debris can wreak havoc on your Toyota vehicle's exterior. Give your car a thorough wash to remove contaminants and restore shine. Be sure to clean hard-to-reach areas like wheel wells. Waxing your car after washing will add an extra layer of protection. For a professional-grade clean, schedule a detailing appointment at our Gaithersburg Toyota service center.

What Should I Check On My Windshield?

Make sure your windshield wipers are in good working order before spring showers arrive. Look for cracks, splits, and roughness in the rubber blades. If the wipers leave streaks across your windshield, it's time to replace them. We carry Toyota OEM wiper blades at our Gaithersburg parts department.

What Type of Brake Service is Required?

Safe braking is crucial year-round. Have one of our expert Toyota technicians in Gaithersburg check your brake pads, rotors, and fluid. Catching small problems now can prevent major brake repairs down the road. For optimal stopping power, ask about brake upgrades for your model, like performance pads and drilled/slotted rotors.
