The tires on your vehicle are THE only point of contact between you and the road. That’s why it’s essential to ensure they’re in peak condition. This is especially important during tricky weather, like the snow, ice and slick roads that winter months deliver. Keeping your tires properly inflated is mission-critical. Ensuring that the tread is robust is also key. But Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA knows that there’s one more thing that you need to be aware of, namely keeping your tires in proper alignment.
A nasty pothole, a hard bump on a curb as you’re trying to park on a city street… loads of things can knock things off-kilter. How can you tell if your tires need to be put “straight” again? Here are the warning signs that your tires are out of alignment.
- Is your steering wheel vibrating? Yeah, that would mean it’s working extra hard to keep your tires on the straight and narrow.
- How’s the “wear” on your tires? If you notice that the tread is wearing unevenly on one tire or the other(s), there you go.
- Your car “drifts” to the right or left when you’re driving normally.
- Here’s one more test (SAFETY NOTE: be sure you’re not surrounded by other cars or driving too fast when you do this). Briefly take your hands off the wheel as you’re driving in a straight line. Does the steering wheel stay “center”? Or do you find the car drifting? If so, you need to get it in for some servicing.
A vehicle that’s out of alignment puts you at much greater risk on the road, especially during the winter months. If you notice any of these warning signs, you’ll want to schedule an appointment at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA to get it back in line. Their service department will have you taken care of in no time – and breathing easier as you drive.

HOW WINTER AFFECTS YOUR CAR BATTERY
Cooler temperatures don’t just affect your desire to put on a sweater and sip hot chocolate, they also affect your vehicle’s battery. Winter will be here before you know it, so Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA recommends knowing these facts about how winter affects your car battery:
Winter affects your car battery in unique ways, causing it to not perform as well. Here are four main reasons for that.
1) Thicker oil: in winter, your engine’s oil thickens up, which means it doesn’t flow through the system as well. Thus, your battery has to work harder to start the engine.
2) Increased workload: on a nasty winter’s day, you could be running the heater, defroster, windshield wipers, and headlights – all at once. Not surprisingly, over a long period, this puts a big strain on the car’s battery.
3) Lower capacity: cold temperatures affect the battery’s ability to generate power. In fact, in winter, a car battery can lose as much as 20 percent of capacity when the temperature drops below 32 degrees. If your car battery is weak, winter can do it in and there you are, waiting in a snowy parking lot for someone to give you a jump.
4) Slower recharging: the alternator automatically “recharges” the battery as you drive. However, that recharge rate slows in winter months.
According to Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA, some common signs that winter is affecting your car battery include headlights that glow “yellow” instead of bright white, an engine that cranks more slowly, a funky “rotten egg” smell or a dome light that appears dimmer.
You’re also at risk for winter battery failure if yours is more than three years old.
Just like checking your tires, checking the state of your battery before winter is essential. The service experts at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA are happy to help get your car battery ready for winter.
THE 2020 TOYOTA SIENNA: WHAT’S NEW
The popular Toyota Sienna minivan has been dubbed the “Swagger Wagon” for its exceptional style and design. This is no “plain vanilla” minivan. The Toyota Sienna gives you all the practical room and features that a busy family needs, but includes eye-catching details that will set you apart from the usual suspects on the road. The 2020 model of the Sienna includes some special new details which you can see up close at Peruzzi Toyota.
For 2020, every trim level of the Sienna features Amazon Alexa and Apple CarPlay as standard. This makes accessing things like your phone, maps, music and more – super-easy. Also standard is Toyota’s “Safety Sense P” package, which features innovations like Lane Departure Alert warning, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control to keep you safer on long drives and Pre-Collision Warning with Pedestrian Detection. Additional safety features include Brake Assist, Smart Stop Technology, and Traction Control.
Slide inside the spacious, comfy interior and tap the 7-inch touch screen to easily connect with your apps, music and more. The wider dashboard, surrounded by elegant soft-touch features, keeps you in full control of cabin climate, driving features, your technology and more. A new acoustic windshield (on the SE trim level) makes the cabin even quieter (except, perhaps when the kids are laughing over the movies they’re watching on the available Dual-View Blu-ray Disc Entertainment Center which includes a 16.4-inch color display and more.)
Plus, eight airbags will keep your family and passengers safe.
One big addition to the 2020 Toyota Sienna is the “Nightshade Edition.” This special premium trim version is far sportier, featuring a spoiler, sport mesh front grille, mirror caps and more. The all-black interior contrasts nicely against the four sleek exterior colors (Midnight Black Metallic, Celestial Silver Metallic, Salsa Red Pearl and Super White). When you swing through the school drop-off lane, you’re guaranteed to make one heck of an impression.
Bottom line: the 2020 Toyota Sienna is the minivan for people who don’t “like” minivans. Stylish, safe, and tech-savvy, this vehicle will serve you and your family well for years to come. Come by Peruzzi Toyota and have a look.
