2000 Toyota Avalon Service, Tires & Repairs

Other than getting the proper tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Avalon tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. 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!) It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Avalon.

We're your tire shop and a complete service center for tire installation, maintenance, repair, rotation, and alignment!

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Toyota Avalon’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Toyota intended them to. Bring your 2000 Toyota Avalon in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Toyota recommendations.

If your 2000 Toyota Avalon is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. There’s a chance your tire could be plugged and patched (rather than replaced). Our technicians can inspect your tire and let you know if it is safe to repair. We’ll begin by taking a look at where the damage is, the type and extent of the tire damage, and how all of your tires are wearing.

If a repair on your 2000 Toyota Avalon tire is feasible and safe, the repair process is actually fairly simple: (1) Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair, (2) use a filler to close up the puncture (this is to keep moisture from getting in), and (3) re-seal the inside lining of your tire so that air won’t escape.

Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Avalon, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin.

Toyota recommends changing your 2000 Avalon’s oil at regular intervals. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your Avalon may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2000 Toyota Avalon motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Avalon oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. During your oil change service, a technician will change your Avalon's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Let the experts take care of your Avalon’s engine by making an oil change appointment today.

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Avalon’s engine. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Toyota Avalon engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus a lifetime warranty on parts*. The second service focuses on your Avalon's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system. During this type of tune-up, we use a three-step process to get rid of harmful varnish, dirt, and carbon deposit buildup in your Avalon’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Avalon can determine what kind of service it needs. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2000 Toyota Avalon is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Toyota recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car.

If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Toyota Avalon’s cooling system. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks. From the heater core to the radiator cap, your 2000 Toyota Avalon is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
