Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Toyota Tundra

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Toyota Tundra for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Tundra's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 Toyota Tundra. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Toyota Tundra battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Tundra) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Toyota Tundra won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 Toyota Tundra engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 Tundra. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2012 Toyota Tundra? We can help with that, too!

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Toyota Tundra's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Toyota Tundra maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Toyota Tundra engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
