Choosing 2013 Toyota Corolla Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Corolla tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. 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!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. 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 Corolla tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

Get Your Toyota Corolla Tire Repaired

If the road has been rough on your 2013 Toyota Corolla tires, Firestone Complete Auto Care can help.

Top Toyota CorollaCar Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Toyota Corolla battery stay charged?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • 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.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Corolla’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Corolla’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. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Corolla, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

2013 Toyota Corolla Oil Changes

Toyota recommends changing your 2013 Corolla’s oil at regular intervals. Your Corolla may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2013 Toyota Corolla motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Corolla 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 an oil change, an auto technician will change your Corolla’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your Corolla today.

2013 Toyota Corolla Oil Change Q&A

  • What does it mean if my Toyota Corolla oil light comes on?  The oil change light in your Toyota Corolla could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • How hard is it to change Toyota Corolla oil at home?  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 exhaust smoke gray 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.

2013 Toyota Corolla Engine Tune-Ups & Maintenance

Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Corolla. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Toyota Corolla engine tune-up services. 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*. The second service focuses on your Corolla'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 Corolla. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your Corolla's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

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

2013 Toyota Corolla Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Toyota Corolla 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 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 need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Corolla 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.

2013 Corolla Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first bought your 2013 Toyota Corolla, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Corolla feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2013 Toyota Corolla, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

2013 Corolla Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Toyota Corolla bouncing excessively?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Corolla 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 Corolla 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.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Corolla's steering and 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 2013 Toyota Corolla A/C Service

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2013 Toyota Corolla A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2013 Toyota Corolla’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.

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. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2013 Toyota Corolla A/C Systems

  • Why is my Corolla 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Corolla’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 won’t my Corolla’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’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

2013 Toyota Corolla Transmission Service & Repairs

  • When should I have my Corolla's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Caring for your Toyota Corolla’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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 my Toyota Corolla leak transmission fluid?  Yes. Toyota Corolla 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.
  • Is it okay to drive a Corolla with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Corolla with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2013 Toyota Corolla is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. 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 could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown 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 Corolla. 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 2013 Toyota Corolla is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About Toyota Corolla Radiators

  • What does the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard mean?  Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • What can cause my Corolla to overheat?  Your Toyota Corolla 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 Corolla radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? There could be air pockets in your Corolla’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
