2000 Toyota Celica Tire Information

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Celica tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. 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 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 Celica tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

2000 Toyota Celica Tire Questions

  • Is Toyota tire inflation important? A small decrease in tire pressure can have a big impact on your driving. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help improve braking time, increase fuel economy, and boost tire lifespan.
  • What do the tire sidewall numbers mean for my Toyota Celica? Your tire sidewall numbers tell you the recommended load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to a tire technician to learn how to read Toyota tire numbers.
  • How do I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires? 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. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Celica tires.

Questions About 2000 Toyota Celica Auto Repairs

  • What's wrong if something feels 'off' in my Toyota? 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). If you sense that something is 'off,' stop in for a Courtesy Check to have these symptoms checked out ASAP. Early action could help you prevent Toyota Celica repairs.
  • Do I have to get the repairs you recommend for my Toyota? Trust is more than just a saying on the wall. It’s a window underneath it. That’s why we won’t recommend services or repairs for your 2000 Toyota Celica unless we think they’re vital to your safety on the road.

Brake Repair for Your 2000 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!

Toyota Celica Brakes Questions

If your Celica shakes when you brake, you could be dealing with warped rotors, faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, or loose or worn suspension parts. Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • What is the average lifespan of Celica brake pads? 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.
  • Can brake fluid leak when my Celica is off? Your Celica has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.

Repairing Your Toyota Celica Drivetrain

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2000 Toyota Celica drivetrain components Your Celica might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.

2000 Toyota Celica Drivetrain Questions

  • What are signs my Toyota drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Toyota Celica, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • Why is my Celica malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? A multitude of problems can activate your Celica’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Celica serious? If your Celica has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Wheel Alignment for 2000 Toyota Celica

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Toyota Celica’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Toyota. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When you bring in your 2000 Toyota Celica, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Toyota recommendations.

Answers to Toyota Celica Alignment Questions

  • What can knock 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? It’s usually suggested you check your alignment about every 6,000 miles or 6 months (whichever occurs first). Still, you should reference your Celica owner’s manual for Toyota's recommended interval.
  • Does getting new Celica tires mean you need an alignment? It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your Celica, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.

Engine Repairs for Your 2000 Toyota Celica

When your Toyota Celica engine needs repairs, our technicians will make sure you understand what’s going on before they start working on your engine. We make recommendations, but you make the final decision. If a service can wait, we’ll make sure you know. If it's necessary for your safety, we'll make sure you understand that, too. We want to provide you with the information you need to make an informed engine repair decision. Choose Firestone Complete Auto Care for Toyota Celica engine repairs and you can feel good knowing that we only use Toyota-compliant replacement parts such as the timing chain or belt, engine oil seal, ignition coil, or other parts.

2000 Toyota Celica Engine Q&A

  • Why does my Celica’s check engine light come on when I start it? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Are Toyota Celica engine noises bad?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Toyota Celica engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your 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.

Tire Repair for Your 2000 Toyota Celica

If your 2000 Toyota Celica is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. In some cases, a tire doesn’t have to be replaced – it can be plugged and patched with a simple repair. Depending on the damage, though, a repair might not be the right move. Our technicians can determine which option is best for your situation. We'll start by evaluating the state of wear, the location of damage, type of damage, and the size of the damage.

If your 2000 Toyota Celica tire puncture can be repaired, the repair process is actually fairly simple: (1) Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair, (2) fill in the area that’s been punctured to prevent damage from moisture, and (3) re-seal the inside lining of your tire so that air won’t escape.

Toyota Celica Tire Repair Questions

  • What happens if I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? Driving on a flat or underinflated tire can put extra stress on your wheels and alignment. While it’s sometimes necessary to drive a short distance on a flat tire to get to a safe place, don’t take any other trips in your Celica until you can have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Toyota's flat tire? Fast fixes are a mixed blessing. They’ll help you get your Toyota Celica to Firestone Complete Auto Care, but don’t count on them to keep you on the road for very long. Using a temporary sealant may also void a Bridgestone or Firestone tire warranty.
  • Why do my Celica tires keep losing air?  If your Celica tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.

Guide to 2000 Toyota Celica Scheduled Maintenance

Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Celica, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2000 Toyota Celica maintenance schedule!

Questions About 2000 Toyota Celica Maintenance

  • When should I have Toyota Celica alignment checked?  Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Toyota Celica need high mileage oil?  Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Toyota Celica engines.
  • 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.

Top Toyota CelicaCar Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Toyota Celica battery stay charged? 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.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last? 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 substance accumulating on my Celica’s battery post?  If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Celica, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Celica’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

2000 Toyota Celica Oil Change Service

Toyota recommends having your 2000 Toyota Celica’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your Celica may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2000 Toyota Celica motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Talk with a teammate and consult your owner's manual before picking a motor oil. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, you can choose from the following oils: 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, an auto technician will change your Celica’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your Celica today.

2000 Toyota Celica Oil Change Q&A

  • Why is the oil light on in my Toyota Celica?  Your Toyota Celica oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Can I change my Toyota oil on my own?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Celica exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

2000 Toyota Celica Tune-Up & Engine Service

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Celica’s engine. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Toyota Celica engine tune-up services. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. The second service focuses on your Celica's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your Celica. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your Celica's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. 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.

2000 Toyota Celica Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • 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. 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 do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota Celica? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Celica. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • 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.

2000 Celica Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first drove your 2000 Toyota Celica, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Celica jolts, leans 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 2000 Toyota Celica, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

2000 Celica Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why does my Toyota Celica bounce so much?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Celica 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 Celica front end dip forward when I brake?  The forward dip in the front end of your Celica 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.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Convenient & Local 2000 Toyota Celica A/C Service

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2000 Toyota Celica A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2000 Toyota Celica A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

While your 2000 Toyota Celica’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Toyota guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2000 Toyota Celica A/C Systems

  • Why is my Celica 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 can cause an A/C system leak? 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 Celica’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why does my Celica’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 Celica may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

2000 Toyota Celica Transmission Service & Repairs

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. 2000 Toyota Celica transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Toyota Celica transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Celica isn’t working at all. Our expert techs are familiar with 2000 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 keep your Toyota running for miles and miles.

2000 Toyota Celica Transmission Questions & Answers

  • Does my Celica's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 2000 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 my Toyota Celica leak transmission fluid? 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.

Get a 2000 Toyota Celica Vehicle Inspection

When you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care for any service, we’ll automatically do a multi-point Courtesy Check. First, a technician will pop the hood on your Toyota Celica and test the battery to see how much charge it has left – and determine if it may fail in the near future.

2000 Toyota Celica Vehicle Inspection Q and A

  • 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.
  • Can you fix my 2000 Toyota Celica so it will pass a state inspection test? Don’t panic! Come in for a complete inspection today and we’ll find (and repair) the root cause before you have your vehicle retested.
  • What's the ideal timing for a full vehicle inspection on my Toyota Celica?  You should bring your Toyota Celica in for a full vehicle inspection if something weird happens and you can’t find the problem. A new dashboard light might come on, you may hear strange sounds under the hood, or your steering might feel off. A complete inspection is also a great idea before a road trip for added peace of mind.

2000 Toyota Celica Radiator Service

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2000 Toyota Celica is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, Toyota recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown 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 Celica’s cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. From the heater core to the radiator cap, we’re here to give your 2000 Toyota Celica the top-notch service it needs.

Questions About Toyota Celica Radiators

  • Why is the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard on?  f the coolant light illuminates on your dashboard, your engine could be overheating. Pull over to a safe area and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a coolant system check.
  • Why is my Celica overheating?  Your Toyota Celica engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.
  • What can cause a Celica radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your Celica. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.
