So, you bought a new Toyota Corolla and are loving it. Here’s a quick question: what’s your vehicle’s maintenance schedule? Proper maintenance is an important part of owning a car, and you don’t want to neglect it.
Ideally, you should check your vehicle every week or so. That might seem like a lot, but allows you to catch any problems early on. Your owner’s manual can give you a more exact timeframe for checkups, specific to your vehicle. In addition, it can walk you through how to properly check various components and even advice you on how to fix some basic problems.
But for some maintenance checks, you need to go to professionals. For a Toyota Corolla, it’s recommended to schedule basic service, like rotating tires, checking the brakes and changing the oil and filter, every 5,000 miles. At 15,000 miles, you’ll want your heating/AC, hoses, fluids, exhaust, steering and more looked at. And, for every 30,000 miles, it’s a good idea to have all of those components examined in addition to your fuel tank, gas cap and emission system. ToyotaCare, a special no cost service plan, covers factory scheduled maintenance this like for 2 years or 25,000 miles.
And if uncover another problem along the way, don’t worry. All Toyotas comes with a 36-month/36,000-mile Basic Coverage warranty. If that’s not enough, there are more options, like the Powertrain Coverage, offering 60 months or 60,000 miles on the engine, transmission, seatbelt and airbags. There’s also the Rust-Through Coverage, which covers any corrosion perforation for 60 months, and Emissions Coverage, which varies by state.
