About 2017 Toyota Prius C Tires
Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Prius C tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most.

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires.

Top Toyota Prius CCar Battery Questions
-

Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
-
How long can I expect my car battery to last? Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
-
Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Prius C’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Prius C car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.
2017 Toyota Prius C Oil Changes

Questions About 2017 Toyota Prius C Engine Tune-Ups
-
What happens if my Toyota Prius C spark plugs fail? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What does a puddle underneath my Toyota Prius C mean? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
-
How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota Prius C need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions.

What can cause my Toyota Prius C to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Prius C goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
-

Why do I get hot air from my Prius C A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
