About 2017 Toyota Corolla Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying 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!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. 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. Browse Toyota Corolla tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

Questions About 2017 Toyota Corolla Tires

  • What do the numbers on my Toyota Corolla 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!
  • 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 Corolla tires. Grab a penny.

  • Do I need to follow Toyota's maintenance schedule? The cheapest 2017 Toyota Corolla repair is the one that isn’t necessary in the first place! Staying up-to-date with your car’s scheduled maintenance services is a great way to keep future repair costs low.
  • 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). 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 Corolla 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 2017 Toyota Corolla unless we think they’re vital to your safety on the road.

Get Your 2017 Toyota Corolla Brakes Fixed

Your Toyota Corolla engine may be strong and reliable. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement.

Toyota Corolla Brakes Questions

  • Why does my Corolla shake when I brake? If your Corolla 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 Corolla 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 Corolla 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 Corolla is off? Your Corolla brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.

2017 Toyota Corolla Drivetrain Questions

  • What are signs my Toyota drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Toyota Corolla, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • What causes a Corolla’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?  The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Corolla can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.
  • How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Corolla? If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Corolla, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

2017 Toyota Corolla Alignment Services

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Toyota Corolla’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the 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 2017 Toyota Corolla 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.

Toyota Corolla Alignment Questions

  • Are there road conditions that can hurt my Toyota Corolla alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • How often does your Corolla need a wheel alignment? Generally, it’s wise to have your alignment looked at around every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever happens first. You should check your Corolla owner’s manual to verify Toyota’s suggested interval.
  • Do you need to get your Corolla wheels aligned?  You likely aren't required to get an alignment when you put new tires on your Corolla, but it's a super smart idea! An alignment can help ensure optimal tire wear, fuel efficiency, and handling. Still, you should reference your Corolla owner’s manual for what’s recommended.

2017 Toyota Corolla Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light in my Corolla 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 Corolla testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why does my Toyota engine sound different? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Toyota Corolla 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.
  • What could damage a Toyota 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.

2017 Toyota Corolla Tire Repair

Firestone Complete Auto Care is here for you when your 2017 Toyota Corolla needs flat tire repair or inspection. 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 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 2017 Toyota Corolla tire is feasible and safe, we’ll get to work on the steps to fix it: (1) Take the tire off the wheel for easy inspection, (2) fill the puncture to keep the moisture out, and (3) secure and seal the inner tire liner to ensure the tire is airtight.

Toyota Corolla Tire Repair Questions

  • Can I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your Corolla engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.
  • Will a temporary sealant fix my Toyota's flat tire? 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.
  • What is causing the tires on my Corolla to keep losing air? Possible reasons for your Corolla tires continuously losing air include a leaking valve steam, wheel damage, and a puncture or hole in the rubber.

Questions About 2017 Toyota Corolla Maintenance

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Toyota Corolla?  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 should I switch my Toyota Corolla to high mileage oil?  If your Toyota Corolla 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 I ignore dashboard lights on my Toyota?  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 Corolla, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light.

Answers to Your Toyota Corolla Car Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Toyota Corolla battery stay charged?  A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last?  Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Corolla’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Corolla car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

Oil Changes for 2017 Toyota Corolla

Toyota recommends having your 2017 Toyota Corolla’s motor oil changed 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, smell oil inside the car, 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 terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota Corolla. 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. In an oil change service, one of our techs will change your Corolla’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your Corolla today.

2017 Toyota Corolla Oil Change Questions

  • What does it mean if my Toyota Corolla oil light comes on?  Your Toyota Corolla 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.
  • Can I change my Toyota Corolla oil at home?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Corolla 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.

Engine Tune-Up Service for Your 2017 Toyota Corolla

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Corolla’s engine. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Toyota Corolla 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*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Corolla. 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. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

Questions About 2017 Toyota Corolla Engine Tune-Ups

  • Will it hurt my Toyota Corolla 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 Corolla? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Corolla. 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 Corolla fuel injectors? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2017 Toyota Corolla

When you first drove your 2017 Toyota Corolla, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Corolla bounces, drifts 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 2017 Toyota Corolla in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

2017 Corolla Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Toyota Corolla bouncing 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your Corolla 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.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's 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 2017 Toyota Corolla

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2017 Toyota Corolla A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2017 Toyota Corolla A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

While your 2017 Toyota Corolla’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. Then, they’ll use Toyota’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2017 Toyota Corolla A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my Corolla A/C?  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.
  • 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.
  • What is causing my Corolla’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  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.

2017 Toyota Corolla 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, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Toyota Corolla transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Toyota Corolla transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Corolla’s not even driveable. Our expert techs are familiar with 2017 Corolla services and perform them according to Toyota-recommended specifications. If you think there’s something wrong with your Corolla’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help diagnose, treat, and prevent major transmission issues.

Questions About 2017 Toyota Corolla’s Transmission

  • 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 transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Corolla?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Corolla, 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.
  • Is it okay to drive a Corolla with a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Corolla 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 2017 Toyota Corolla

Every service performed at Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a multi-point Courtesy Check. The technician will begin by testing your Toyota Corolla's battery to find out how much charge is remaining on it. The check will continue with a visual inspection of your Toyota Corolla's filters, lights, wiper blades, hoses, alignment, tires, fluid levels, and belts.

We perform a Courtesy Check any time you bring your car to a local Firestone Complete Auto Care for service, but you can also request a Complete Vehicle Inspection for your 2017 Toyota Corolla if you suspect there may be a bigger problem. A Complete Vehicle Inspection includes everything in a Courtesy Check, plus a thorough manual inspection of your steering and suspension system, brakes, and exhaust components.

Radiator Service & Repair for 2017 Toyota Corolla

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2017 Toyota Corolla is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, Toyota recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.

We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks. If you’re about to lose your cool over a too-hot engine, rest assured that we’re here to give your 2017 Toyota Corolla the top-notch service it needs.

Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • Why is my Corolla overheating?  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? If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your Corolla. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.
