Choosing 1993 Toyota Tercel Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Tercel tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Browse Toyota Tercel tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

Top Toyota TercelCar Battery Questions

  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Tercel’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Tercel’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1993 Toyota Tercel

  • What does it mean if my Toyota Tercel oil light comes on?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Toyota Tercel oil change reminder light.

  • How hard is it to change Toyota Tercel oil at home?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools.

1993 Toyota Tercel Engine Tune-Up Q&A

1993 Tercel Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first drove your 1993 Toyota Tercel, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Tercel jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1993 Toyota Tercel in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Tercel suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

1993 Tercel Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Toyota Tercel bouncing excessively?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Tercel might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Tercel front end dip forward when I brake?  The forward dip in the front end of your Tercel when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Convenient & Local 1993 Toyota Tercel A/C Service

Our technicians will work to solve your 1993 Toyota Tercel A/C problems to the best of their ability. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1993 Toyota Tercel A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed.

Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

1993 Toyota Tercel A/C System FAQs

  • Why is my Tercel A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Tercel’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why does my Tercel’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Tercel may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

1993 Toyota Tercel Transmission Service

About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Toyota Tercel transmission fluid leak?  Yes. Toyota Tercel transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Should I avoid driving my Toyota Tercel if there is a transmission fluid leak?  You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Tercel to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
