2018 Toyota Corolla iM Tire Information

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Corolla iM 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. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. 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!

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. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota Corolla iM tires online.

2018 Toyota Corolla iM Oil Change Service

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2018 Toyota Corolla iM

  • What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Corolla iM to illuminate?  Your Toyota Corolla iM oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • How hard is it to change Toyota Corolla iM oil at home?  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 Corolla iM spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  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.

The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*.

2018 Toyota Corolla iM Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Toyota Corolla iM spark plugs be replaced?  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 Corolla iM 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 Corolla iM need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Corolla iM fuel injectors. Some manufacturers recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of routine maintenance, or as needed if your vehicle is showing signs of poor fuel system performance.

2018 Toyota Corolla iM Suspension Service & Repair

When you first bought your 2018 Toyota Corolla iM, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Corolla iM bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Toyota Corolla iM in for steering and suspension services. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

Questions About 2018 Toyota Corolla iM Steering & Suspension

  • Why does my Toyota Corolla iM 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 Corolla iM tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 2018 Toyota Corolla iM A/C Service

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2018 Toyota Corolla iM A/C problems. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2018 Toyota Corolla iM A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

While your 2018 Toyota Corolla iM’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 use Toyota’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2018 Toyota Corolla iM A/C Systems

  • What’s making my Corolla iM A/C put out warm air?  An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • 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 Corolla iM’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why won’t my Corolla iM’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Corolla iM’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Transmission Services for 2018 Toyota Corolla iM

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. 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. 2018 Toyota Corolla iM transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

Our technicians know how to service your 2018 Corolla iM up to Toyota-recommended standards.

Questions About 2018 Toyota Corolla iM’s Transmission

  • When should I have my Corolla iM's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 2018 Corolla iM’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 Corolla iM leak transmission fluid?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Corolla iM, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Should I avoid driving my Toyota Corolla iM if there is a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Corolla iM 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.

In fact, Toyota recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

Questions About Toyota Corolla iM Radiators

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Toyota?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What can cause my Corolla iM to overheat?  If your Toyota Corolla iM engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.
  • Why does the radiator in my Corolla iM sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your Corolla iM. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.
