RAV4

Toyota might have been trying to secure its reputation for practicality and function when they designed the Rav4. What the Rav4 lacks in excitement it makes up for in well-chosen components and incredible durability. For owners that means more affordable maintenance and less of it. For mechanics that means that it’s important to look at the details and make sure the Rav4 lives up to its reputation for driving forever. Whether you want a brake check, an oil change, or a once-over to make sure your Rav4 is still in good condition, Precision Auto Care can help. Read more…

CAMRY

The Camry might just be a good competitor for the Ford Focus, with similar styling, sizing, cargo and passenger space, and athletic steering. What the Camry lacks in fun it makes up for in practicality. While it doesn’t quite offer the best fuel economy you can get at this price, it’s close, and it’s a fantastic commuter in even the most crowded city streets. The main thing to watch with the Camry is that its engine is slightly underpowered, which means that the engine and fuel systems both need a little TLC if you want to maintain its fuel economy and stop the acceleration from slowing down even more than they already are.

COROLLA

Don’t mind going a little smaller than the Camry in exchange for fuel economy closer to the Focus? The Corolla is a good option. Like the Camry, the Corolla doesn’t have a lot of flash, though it does get slightly better acceleration and handling performance. That said, the Corolla has largely the same maintenance concerns, you want to keep the engine and transmission at the top of their game or the Corolla’s performance drops off steeply. That said, good fuel economy and a solid fuel system help cut down on maintenance costs, and Toyota parts and maintenance is almost always less than the same maintenance on competitor brands.

TACOMA

Need a truck with Toyota’s extreme durability and long-term capability? The Tacoma is that truck. While the Tacoma tends to be on the smaller side for a pickup, it’s a workhorse that’s up to off-roading and managing just about anything you can throw at them. But, if you’re going to put your Tacoma through its paces, the transmission needs an experienced mechanic to keep it in working order, and you’ll need to replace spark plugs and fuel injectors more often than on some other Toyota models.

PRIUS

Yesterday’s Prius was at the top of the hybrid eco-friendly vehicle world. Today’s models aren’t outperforming their competition like they used to, but the attention of a qualified mechanic can keep them on the road longer than a lot of the alternatives in their class. The main thing to watch on a Prius are the brakes and fuel system, both of which can have a big impact on safety and fuel economy when they start to go. But you deserve a mechanic that isn’t just going to look at the problem spots. Someone who will take your whole vehicle into account and perform inspections with an eye to safety and preserving performance. If you’re looking for a top-notch Toyota mechanic that can keep your vehicle working like new, make an appointment with Precision Auto Care. Read more…
