Read moreTaking Care of Your Vehicle Before Summer, the Longueuil Toyota Recommendations
The first rays of sunshine and melting snow announce the arrival of a new season. After confronting cold, salt and rigorous winter conditions, your car deserves careful attention before adapting to summer temperatures.
A Complete Inspection to Anticipate Summer Challenges
At Longueuil Toyota, our team of technical advisors recommends a series of essential verifications to guarantee a fluid, safe and hassle-free drive. To better understand what spring maintenance entails, we discussed with Xavier Gascon, technical advisor at Longueuil Toyota.
Fluid and Mechanics System
Strict control over filters, motor oil, windshield fluid, and cooling agents is essential. The state of direction controls and suspension must equally be examined to locate any premature signs of wear. Something as simple as a warning light that has become lit could indicate an underlying issue that is worth fixing before any vacations.
Tires and Brakes
A worn tire reduces adhesion and increases the risk of drifting. It is recommended to verify the points of contact to prevent irregular wear, which could cause poor alignment or inadequate pressure. During tire replacement, it is equally important to inspect the brakes; preventative maintenance of the plates and discs allows us to avoid premature replacement and unexpected fees.
Cooling System
Contrary to popular belief, antifreeze plays a crucial role even in summer. It is important to verify its levels and condition, as an antifreeze in poor condition could encourage an overheated motor, reducing its performance and increasing fuel consumption.
Battery Temperature Regulation
An efficient regulation is essential to ensure optimal comfort during the hot seasons. While maintenance is minimal, an inspection of the regulatory circuit could prevent costly leakage repairs. With the 12V battery, it faces just as many challenges in summer as in winter. An inspection allows us to verify its condition and avoid a system shut down due to heat.
Well-Thought Services for Your Peace of Mind
To simplify your vehicles maintenance, Longueuil Toyota suggests multiple solutions adapted to your daily life:
- Shuttle Service: we drop you off at your home or workplace while your vehicle is being serviced.
- Courtesy Vehicle: available under certain conditions for clients who require a temporary means of transportation.

Preventative maintenance allows for the maximized performance and prolonged lifespan of your vehicle. With Longueuil Toyota’s expertise and advice from its specialists, prepare your car for summer challenges and take the road with complete peace of mind.
