Toyota Repair

While Toyota (originally spelled Toyoda after the family surname) started as a textile company, the business model expanded to vehicle production in 1937 to support war efforts. Fortunately, your biggest daily battle is probably fighting commuter traffic, but you’ll still need occasional auto repairs. We’re glad to share a few of the more commonly reported issues, but please know that you can count on our BOSCH-affiliated establishment for your car’s mechanical needs. Five repairs seem to come to the forefront on Toyota repair conversations. For instance, several drivers report needing to have their transmissions fixed. As you might suspect, this is an expensive repair. The best practice is to maintain a sufficient amount of transmission fluid in your vehicle and to have the fluid changed per the manufacturer’s recommendations for your model. This will keep the fluid fresh and free of contaminants or other floating particles. Also, some owners have encountered the need for engine rebuilding or replacement. This often applies to high mileage cars and, therefore, is to be expected. However, there are some reports of engine failure at a lower-than-expected odometer reading. In addition, some drivers experience the tell-tale signs of a leaky head gasket. This component seals the cylinder area, preventing loss or mixing of coolant and oil. Left unaddressed, a bad head gasket may eventually lead to engine failure. When the weather warms, most people appreciate a well-working air conditioner in their vehicles. For some Toyota motorists, a bad AC compressor disrupts the flow of cool air. Finally, vehicles that have been driven 100,000 miles or more sometimes present problems with starting. The usual culprit is the starter solenoid.
