About 1993 Toyota Celica Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Celica 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!) Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase 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!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Browse Toyota Celica tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

1993 Toyota Celica Tire Questions

  • Why check Toyota tire inflation? Even a tiny decrease in tire pressure could impact your safety and fuel economy. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help increase fuel economy, improve braking time, and boost tire lifespan.
  • What do the numbers on my Toyota Celica tires mean? The numbers on your tire sidewall give you information about tire speed rating, traction, treadwear, tire size, and load carrying capacity. Chat with a tire technician to learn how to read the numbers on your Toyota tires!
  • Is there an easy way to check Toyota tire tread depth? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Celica tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove.

  • What does it mean to be 'in tune' with your car? No, we’re not talking about finding the best jams on the radio! You know your car best, and you’re the first person who will notice if something doesn’t feel right (like new smells, sights, or sounds coming from your car).

Brake Repair for Your 1993 Toyota Celica

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Toyota  Celica. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Safe driving and responsive brakes go hand in hand. Plus, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 1993 Toyota Celica.

Toyota Celica Brakes Questions

  • What can cause my Celica to shake when I apply the brakes?

Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • How long should my Celica brake pads last? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Celica can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.
  • Should my Celica be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your Celica brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.

1993 Toyota Celica Alignment Services

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Toyota Celica’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Toyota intended. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1993 Toyota Celica, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Toyota.

Questions About Toyota Celica Alignment

  • How can I avoid knocking my Toyota Celica out of alignment? When it’s safe to do so, avoid driving over potholes or hitting curbs. These road obstacles can wreak havoc on your wheel alignment, as can wear and tear from rough road conditions.
  • How frequently should you get a wheel alignment for your Celica?  Check your Celica owner's manual for Toyota's recommended interval. It's generally a good idea to check your alignment every 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first.
  • Does getting new Celica tires mean you need an alignment?  It’s not mandatory to get an alignment after installing new tires on your Celica, but it can be a smart decision! Proper alignment from the jump can help improve handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear.

Questions About 1993 Toyota Celica Engines

  • Why does the check engine light in my Celica turn on when I start my car? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your Celica testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Are Toyota Celica engine noises bad? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Toyota Celica engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • Are you unknowingly damaging your Toyota Celica engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Get Your Toyota Celica Tire Repaired

If the road has been rough on your 1993 Toyota Celica tires, Firestone Complete Auto Care can help. 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. To start, we’ll consider the location of tire damage, the type of issue, the size and scope of the damage, and the amount of wear on your tires.

If your 1993 Toyota Celica tire puncture can be repaired, we'll follow three basic steps to repair it: (1) Take the tire off the wheel for easy inspection, (2) use a filler to close up the puncture (this is to keep moisture from getting in), and (3) seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent air loss.

Your Questions About Toyota Celica Tire Repair, Answered

  • How soon should I have my flat tire repaired? Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your Celica engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.
  • Is temporary sealant bad for my Toyota's tires? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit. If you’ve seen temporary or emergency tire sealant before (it usually comes in a can), it can be tempting to turn to this as a solution for your flat tire. Keep in mind that these fixes could buy you some time to get to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a proper repair, but they could also cause some harm in the process (for example, damage to your TPMS). Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.
  • Why do the tires on my Celica keep losing air? Possible reasons for your Celica tires continuously losing air include a leaking valve steam, wheel damage, and a puncture or hole in the rubber.

1993 Toyota Celica Maintenance Questions

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Toyota Celica?  You know your Toyota Celica better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I switch my Toyota Celica to high mileage oil?  If your Toyota Celica has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can Toyota dashboard warning lights wait?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Toyota Celica, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light.

Commonly Asked Toyota Celica Battery Questions

  • Why won’t my Toyota Celica battery hold a charge? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Celica’s battery post?  A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Celica car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.

1993 Toyota Celica Oil Change Service

Your 1993 Celica’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your Celica may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota Celica. Consult Toyota's recommendations to select the right  1993 Celica oil and talk with a teammate to learn more about our oil options: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. During your oil change service, a technician will change your Celica's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your Celica's engine.

1993 Toyota Celica Oil Change Questions

  • What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Celica to illuminate?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Toyota Celica oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Can I change my Toyota oil on my own?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Celica exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

1993 Toyota Celica Tune-Up & Engine Service

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Celica’s engine. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1993 Toyota Celica. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Celica. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your Celica's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Celica: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

*Check with a teammate at Firestone Complete Auto Care for complete terms and conditions regarding warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 1993 Toyota Celica

  • Will it hurt my Toyota Celica to drive with old spark plugs?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Celica? 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 often should I clean my Toyota Celica fuel injectors? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Toyota owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

Suspension Service & Repair for 1993 Toyota Celica

During the first few years you had your 1993 Toyota Celica, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Celica feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1993 Toyota Celica, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Celica 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.

Questions About 1993 Toyota Celica Steering & Suspension

  • Why does my Toyota Celica bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Celica front end dip forward when I brake?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Celica's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Celica's steering and 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.

A/C Service for Your 1993 Toyota Celica

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 1993 Toyota Celica A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1993 Toyota Celica’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

While your 1993 Toyota Celica’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Toyota's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1993 Toyota Celica A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my Celica 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Celica’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why does my Celica’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  Damaged or worn components in your Celica’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

1993 Toyota Celica Transmission Service & Repairs

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Celica’s performance. 1993 Toyota Celica transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Toyota Celica transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Celica at all. Our expert techs are familiar with 1993 Celica services and perform them according to Toyota-recommended specifications. As soon as you suspect something’s wrong with your Celica’s transmission, book an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help diagnose, treat, and prevent major transmission issues.

Questions About 1993 Toyota Celica’s Transmission

  • How often does my Celica transmission fluid need to be checked?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 1993 Celica’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Celica? Yes, your Toyota Celica can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Celica ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Can I still drive my Toyota Celica if it has a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Celica if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.

Vehicle Inspection for 1993 Toyota Celica

When you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care for any service, we’ll automatically do a multi-point Courtesy Check. The technician will begin by testing your Toyota Celica's battery to determine how much charge remains. After we’ve inspected your Toyota Celica’s battery, we’ll visually inspect your lights, windshield wipers, filters, alignment, tires, hoses, belts and fluid levels.

Every service performed at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care will include a Courtesy Check, but you can also request a Complete Vehicle Inspection for your 1993 Toyota Celica if you suspect there may be a bigger problem. During a Complete Vehicle Inspection, we’ll visually check everything that’s on the list for a Courtesy Check. Additionally, we’ll perform a thorough manual inspection of your steering and suspension system, brakes, and exhaust components. This inspection is aimed at informing you of any major problems that could wreak havoc on your 1993 Toyota Celica if left unaddressed.

In some cities or states, you may be able to complete your vehicle’s safety tests or state inspection at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care. These inspections are governed by state automotive laws and may vary in different locations.

Common 1993 Toyota Celica Vehicle Inspection Questions

  • When does my Toyota Celica need an inspection? It needs a check-up if something feels 'off' to you, the driver. Your Toyota Celica could benefit from a Courtesy Check if it has any illuminated dashboard lights, you hear weird noises coming from any part, the engine doesn't start sometimes, or your vehicle pulls to one side.
  • Help! My 1993 Toyota Celica failed the state inspection test. Can you get it to pass? Did your vehicle fail a recent state inspection test? We can help. Come in for a checkup and we’ll diagnose the issue.
  • What's the ideal timing for a full vehicle inspection on my Toyota Celica?  The best time to get a complete vehicle inspection for your Toyota Celica is before going on a road trip for the peace of mind. Another great time is when something abnormal occurs, and you can't pinpoint the issue. You might notice new dashboard lights, hear strange noises from under the hood, or your steering wheel doesn't feel like it once did.

Radiator Service & Repair for 1993 Toyota Celica

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 1993 Toyota Celica is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. Toyota recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant.

When you come to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we’ll begin your radiator repair with an in-depth inspection of the cooling system in your Toyota Celica. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks. When it comes to radiator service and repair, we’re here to give your 1993 Toyota Celica the top-notch service it needs.

1993 Toyota Celica Radiator Q&A

  • What does the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard mean?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard.
