Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires.

  • Will a temporary sealant fix my Toyota's flat tire? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit.

2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime Oil Changes

2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime Oil Change Q&A

  • Why is the oil light on in my Toyota RAV4 Prime?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Toyota RAV4 Prime oil change reminder light.

  • 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 RAV4 Prime spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Questions About 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime Engine Tune-Ups

  • What happens if my Toyota RAV4 Prime spark plugs fail?  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 RAV4 Prime? 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 RAV4 Prime need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime Suspension Service & Repair

When you first drove your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime, 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. Maybe your RAV4 Prime bounces, 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 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your RAV4 Prime suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why is my Toyota RAV4 Prime bouncing so much?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your RAV4 Prime goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my RAV4 Prime to dip forward when I apply 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 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime A/C Service

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

Let's say we repair your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Toyota’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my RAV4 Prime 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.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? 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 RAV4 Prime’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • What is causing my RAV4 Prime’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your RAV4 Prime may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime Transmission Q&A

  • When should I have my RAV4 Prime's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 2021 RAV4 Prime’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 transmission fluid leak from my Toyota RAV4 Prime?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota RAV4 Prime, 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 RAV4 Prime with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your RAV4 Prime 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.
