​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​In the old days, identifying a problem in your car could take time. A mechanic had to carefully examine one or more systems and test them to find the source of trouble. Since the 1980s, cars have had computers, and the computer makes diagnosis faster, easier, and cheaper than ever before. As your Toyota dealer, we want to tell you about how an engine diagnostic works and some of the potential faults it can reveal. Computer and Sensors Your computer has a vast network of sensors that connect to it. Each of these sensors is connected to an important system, like the alternator or the fuel injectors. These sensors receive instructions from the computer and also scan their attached components for any sign of trouble. If something goes wrong with a component, the sensor sends the information to your computer almost instantly. When your computer receives the information, it generates an error code pointing to the problem in the affected system and stores this information in its memory. The computer also causes one or more of the warning lights on your dash to illuminate. The warning light could highlight a specific system, for example, the brake pad warning, or identify a more general issue, like an illuminated check engine light. What a Diagnostic Does When you bring your car to us with an illuminated warning light, we can quickly identify the reason for the warning light by connecting your computer to our diagnostic machine. This machine will show a list of any error codes the computer has generated. Some error codes are generic and apply to many different makes and models, but most codes are specific to your Toyota. Our diagnostic system has been supplied by Toyota, and can rapidly identify any possible error code in your vehicle. Using the diagnostic machine saves you time and money, as we can identify and repair a problem far more affordably and save you lost time away from your Toyota. Benefits of a Diagnostic A diagnostic can reveal a wide variety of issues. Many drivers don't know that sensors can detect even a tiny change in their connected components. The changes a diagnostic reveals may be a long way from becoming a serious issue. Once we've identified what's wrong, we can repair the problem or replace the affected components before they can cause any damage. Most potential faults can be identified by a diagnostic check. These include brake malfunctions, transmission failures, exhaust blockages, and engine trouble. Many drivers also get a diagnostic to have the peace of mind of knowing that their vehicle is in great shape and has not reported problems at all. If you'd like to know more or to book a diagnostic, contact our service department today at Toyota of Kingsport in Kingsport, TN.

Hybrid Highlanders, on the other hand, feature two electric motors and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that pair with a continuously variable transmission for a combined 243 horsepower and 175 pounds of torque.

Equipped with the base 2.4-liter gas engine, the Highlander achieves 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. Space, Comfort, and Safety Space and versatility are two key elements that are often mentioned in expert and customer reviews of the 2024 Highlander.

Spark plugs are a crucial part of your car. Without them, your engine wouldn't even start. The duration of a spark plug typically depends on the type of plug you're using. It's a good idea for every driver to also know the warning signs of a prematurely worn-out plug. That way, you can have any problematic plugs promptly repaired or replaced at your local Toyota dealership. Copper Plugs The most common type of plugs are made from copper, which is highly conductive but slightly softer and less durable than other types of material. Copper plugs tend to last about 20,000 miles, which is about one and a half years for most drivers. Platinum Plugs A tougher and much longer-lasting metal used for plugs is platinum, which is slightly less conductive than copper but much more heat-resistant. Platinum plugs usually last for 60,000 miles or more, which will be about four or five years for most drivers. Iridium Plugs The strongest and best-performing plugs out there are made from iridium: a highly durable metal that allows for both excellent lifespan and conductivity. You can expect your iridium plugs to last for over 100,000 miles, which is usually more than seven years on the road. Signs of a Prematurely Worn-Out Spark Plug Sometimes heat damage, burned-out electrodes, cracked casing, incorrect installation, or fouling from carbon deposits can cause a spark plug to prematurely fail. If one or more of your plugs runs into trouble, the engine's cylinders will start misfiring. This causes the engine to sputter and shudder alarmingly, especially when you're driving more slowly or resting in idle. If the plugs are really struggling, a misfiring engine can even stall. When plugs begin to fail, you'll also notice a drop in engine power. Acceleration will become sluggish, making it hard to find a quick burst of speed. Your gas mileage will also plummet as fuel is being burned less efficiently. Misfiring plugs also cause an excess of fuel to build up inside the combustion chambers. This excess fuel can leak into the exhaust system, where it might ignite or escape from the tailpipe in the form of black smoke. Have Each Spark Plug Inspected at Your Local Toyota Dealership When you take your vehicle to your local dealership for routine servicing, the technician can remove and inspect the condition of each spark plug in turn. If you're already experiencing misfiring, the technician can diagnose and repair the underlying cause, which might originate from any number of engine components. Have every spark plug in your car's engine checked, cleaned, repaired, or replaced today at Toyota of Kingsport. We're an award-winning family-owned dealership offering top-notch cars and customer service to everyone who steps foot through our doors.

​​​​​​​​​​​​Your Toyota is designed to give you a comfortable, safe, and fuel-efficient driving experience. It's composed of numerous systems that work together to deliver the performance you deserve. These systems require servicing and maintenance to keep them working at their best. As your Toyota dealership, we want to give you some preventative maintenance tips. Protect the Paint It can be very easy to forget that your car's paint will get damaged over time if it's not protected. The paint is exposed to grit, dirt, mud, and water. While snow and ice are not usually a problem here in Kingsport, TN, the sun's UV rays can cause your paint job to turn dull over time. Fortunately, these problems can be prevented with very little effort. One of the best ways to protect your paint is to wash your car regularly. Washing removes grit and dust that can scratch the paint, and it makes your car look brighter already. Waxing is also an essential tool for your paint, as it adds a protective coating between your paint and the environment.  We advise waxing your car at least twice a year, at the end of spring and the end of fall. Check Your Tires Tire condition affects your safety. If your tires are in good condition and have a healthy tread, they'll work efficiently. Good tread allows them to grip the surface, and this translates into faster braking. Good tires also reduce strain on the braking system, axles, and even your engine, and this can prevent many avoidable repairs. Regularly checking the condition of your tires will allow you to identify problems that can be quickly and easily fixed. If your tires show excessive wear, we can rotate them for you to reduce damage and extend their life. Another important part of tire maintenance is to make sure your tires are correctly inflated. Over or underinflated tires generate extra wear and tear, which reduces tire life. Replace Windshield Wipers Most drivers don't notice their windshield wipers until it's raining. The wipers have rubber blades that allow water or mud to be quickly and efficiently removed without damaging the windshield glass. The wipers can become damaged over time, and this could cause them to fail or damage your windshield. The rubber blades will become less flexible over time as the rubber loses its flexibility, and pieces of the rubber can break off. The lack of flexibility makes it more difficult to remove water as quickly as you need it to. Missing chunks of rubber from damaged blades can cause the wipers to scratch your glass. We can easily replace your wipers to prevent these potential problems. There are many other types of maintenance. If you'd like to know more, visit us today at Toyota of Kingsport.

There are few things more exciting than driving for the first time. As your Toyota dealer, we want to make sure you love every aspect of the experience, from the quality car you drive to the way you gain skills and confidence. Here's a few tips for new drivers that can help everything to go smoothly. Understand Your Vehicle Before hitting the road, familiarize yourself with your car's features and controls. Read the owner's manual to understand how the various systems work, such as the brakes, accelerator, lights, wipers, and emergency signals. Take some time while you're sitting with the car in park to find where everything is and how it operates. Don't assume that all cars are the same! Master Basic Maintenance Basic car maintenance knowledge is essential for every new driver. Learn how to check the oil level, tire pressure, coolant level, and brake fluid. Make sure you can fill a tire with air, too. Develop Situational Awareness Always be aware of your surroundings, including other vehicles, pedestrians, and potential hazards. Keep a safe distance from the car in front of you and regularly check your mirrors. Be particularly cautious at intersections, in bad weather, and during night driving. If you proactively do this when you first start out, the habits will become second nature. Practice Defensive Driving Defensive driving means anticipating potential dangers and reacting calmly and safely. Always assume that other drivers will make a mistake, and be prepared to react. For example, if you're first at the traffic light, don't zoom off the instant it turns green. Assume that someone going the other way will be late trying to beat the yellow light on their side, and make sure the way is completely clear before you move. Manage Speed and Following Distance Obey speed limits and adjust your speed according to road conditions: when it's dark, rainy, or snowing, the speed limit is often not actually a safe speed. Don't worry about what the drivers behind you are doing, either. Just because a person has been driving longer than you doesn't mean they are driving smarter. Maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead – a good rule of thumb is the three-second rule, which gives you ample time to react in case of sudden stops. Learn to Handle Emergencies Prepare yourself for emergencies by learning and practicing basic maneuvers. As an example, if it's snowing, and you have access to a large, empty parking lot, consider driving there carefully and practicing quick stops, starts, and turns in the empty space. This will give you an idea of how the car will react. The longer you drive, the more intuitive it will become. If you need a quality car to match your growing skills, come to Toyota of Kingsville today!

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Brake pads are an important part of your Toyota's braking system. They generate the friction that brings your car to a stop. These pads wear down over time and will eventually need replacement. As your Toyota dealer, we want you to know some of the signs that you need to visit us for new pads. Screeching Brakes A set of pads fits into each caliper, and a caliper is positioned above each of your wheel rotors. When you hit the brakes, the calipers clamp on either side of the wheel rotors. The pads generate friction against the smooth wheel rotors, and this action brings the rotors to a stop. Each time you apply the brakes, tiny parts of the pads fleck off. When a pad's friction material covering has worn down, a tiny metal spike will become visible. This spike will scratch against the rotor surface and produce a loud screeching noise. The spike won't damage the rotor, but it serves as a loud reminder that it's time to change your pads. Our technicians can quickly and easily replace them for you. Grinding Brakes A harsh metallic grinding noise is a sign of trouble. As we saw above, the friction material covering slowly wears down. Screeching noises are a sign that the covering has worn down sufficiently to need replacement. If the pad isn't replaced, the material covering will continue to wear off. Once the material covering has gone, only the bare metal of the pad will remain. The next time you apply your brakes, the metal pad will gouge into the softer metal of the rotor and produce grinding noises. Parts of the metal pad can also scour rings in the rotor surface. If this happens, your pads need to be replaced immediately before they cause further damage. We'll also examine your rotors and resurface them if necessary. Glazed Pads Glazed pads are caused by the pads being in contact with moving rotors for an extended period. This can happen if you regularly need to ride your brakes, for example, by driving downhill. When the rough friction material of the pads is held against the smooth rotor surface, a pad will develop a smooth, glass-like exterior. A glazed pad can't generate any friction, and the lack of friction means the affected brake won't work. When you hit the brakes, your car can veer toward the side opposite to the glazed pad. This happens because the pad prevents the brake from working. We'll examine your pads and replace any glazed ones. Pads are quick and easy to replace, and new pads reduce wear and tear on your braking system. Call our service department today at Toyota of Kingsport.

If a part is covered by your new car warranty, then you will be able to save hundreds of dollars at your Toyota dealer if a major component needs to be replaced or repaired. Learn more about the coverage limitations and exclusions of your new vehicle warranty. Four warranties come with a new Toyota vehicle. Basic Coverage is a limited bumper-to-bumper warranty plan that lasts for 36 months or up to 36,000 miles. This warranty will cover the cost of repairs for defective parts, materials, and workmanship, but it will not cover normal wear and tear or routine maintenance. Powertrain Coverage lasts for 60 months or 60,000 miles and covers parts such as the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. Rust-Through Coverage lasts for 60 months and covers corrosion perforation, such as corrosion on the sheet metal of your vehicle's body. Your new Toyota may also have Emissions Coverage, which is determined by federal and local regulations. Is Wear and Tear Covered? It's common for a new vehicle warranty or an extended warranty to exclude the repair costs of components that need to be replaced through normal wear and tear. Several parts of your vehicle need to be continually replaced, such as windshield wiper blades and brake pads. Your warranty will not cover cosmetic wear and tear damage or the costs of routine maintenance like oil changes, either. As a note, your warranty will also not likely cover the cost of vehicle repairs after an accident. If a covered part is damaged as the result of an accident or environmental damage, you will need to rely on your auto insurance for repair costs. Are Accessories Covered? If you have a factory-installed accessory or an accessory purchased and installed at the dealership at the time of purchase, then these genuine Toyota accessories will be covered for 36 months or 36,000 miles. This warranty starts from the first day of the vehicle's in-service date. If you purchase a genuine Toyota accessory at any other time, then the accessory will have a warranty period of 12 months starting from the day the accessory was installed. The accessory may also be covered by the remainder of your limited vehicle warranty if this warranty provides better coverage. Ask Your Toyota Dealer: Does Your Hybrid Have a Warranty? Hybrid and plug-in hybrid motors are more common for today's vehicles. If you buy a hybrid Toyota, you will need to be aware of the special hybrid-related component warranty. In addition to the standard new vehicle warranty coverages, your hybrid-related components like the battery will also be covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. If you have a hybrid produced after the 2020 model year, your warranty may be for 10 years or 150,000 miles. A warranty is a great resource to save on the cost of expensive vehicle repairs. To discuss your warranty coverage in detail, contact Toyota of Kingsport.
