When it comes to your Toyota FJ Cruiser, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your FJ Cruiser. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine FJ Cruiser maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Toyota, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your FJ Cruiser running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your FJ Cruiser. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Toyota FJ Cruiser battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then!

Your Toyota FJ Cruiser could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
