Toyota Dealer Suggests Ways to Keep Dogs Safe in the Car

From now until January 2017, every time you bring your vehicle into our Hatfield PA Toyota service center, it will receive a free automatic car wash. Not only will this be a good way to keep your vehicle regularly maintained, our well trained staff will ensure the exterior is clean and protected from the elements. Grime Build-Up Can Hurt Driving on the road, especially during winter weather conditions, can mean your car is subjected to hazards which are dangerous to the finish. Grime, oil, and road salt are all common elements on the road which cling to the car and eventually could eat away at the finish and the underside. By removing this grime and debris on a regular basis, you can keep your finish in like new condition and cut down on damage over the long run.

Having our Toyota team take care of the cleaning process will mean more dirt and build up is removed. It also means you won’t have to work as hard to keep your car clean.

It is that time of year again; road trip season. Here at your local Hatfield Toyota dealership, we want to give you some helpful insights about how best to make any upcoming road trips your family embarks on into cherished memories. Much of this is accomplished through proper preparation and careful planning ahead of time. Plan Ahead: With google maps it is easy to sit down and identify potential routes and travel times. If you have small children, you will likely want to travel intentionally, picking rest areas and towns to stop over in for potty breaks and burn off any excess energy built up through a couple hours of sitting. Sprinkle your trip with fun stopovers and remember, road trips are as much about the journey as the destination. Food, Food, Food: Road tripping is all about sharing snacks, picnics and eating on the run. If you are road tripping on a budget, you’ll want to pre-make your food. Carrots, berries, grapes, and crackers make excellent healthy snacks that won’t break the bank. You may want to pre-portion these with younger children to avoid squabbles over who gets how much. Accident Prevention and Safety: Last, but certainly not least, you’ll want to get your car checked out to ensure that the hoses and belts are all in good condition and check that the oil and tires are in excellent condition prior to embarking upon your summer adventures. Finally, if you are traveling with small children, be certain to ensure that they have the appropriate child car seat. You can get your Toyota inspected free of charge here at the Hatfield Toyota dealership and we’ll ensure that your car’s performance offers your family the opportunity to enjoy the road trip.
