1986 Toyota Van Tires, Repair & Service

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Van tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) 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 prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Next, consider your driving style. 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. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota Van tires online.

When you first bought your 1986 Toyota Van, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Van feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1986 Toyota Van in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 1986 Toyota Van A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1986 Toyota Van’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1986 Toyota Van, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. 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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Van’s performance. 1986 Toyota Van transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Toyota Van transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Van’s not even driveable. Our expert techs are familiar with 1986 Van services and perform them according to Toyota-recommended specifications. Schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of transmission problems to help keep your Toyota running for miles and miles.

Every service performed at Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a multi-point Courtesy Check. First, a technician will pop the hood on your Toyota Van and test the battery to see how much charge it has left – and determine if it may fail in the near future. The check will continue with a visual inspection of your Toyota Van's filters, lights, wiper blades, fluid levels, belts, hoses, tires, and alignment.

We perform a Courtesy Check any time you bring your car to a local Firestone Complete Auto Care for service, but we can also dig deeper and perform a Complete Vehicle Inspection on your 1986 Toyota Van if you prefer. During a Complete Vehicle Inspection, we’ll visually check everything that’s on the list for a Courtesy Check. Additionally, we’ll perform a hands-on examination of your exhaust system, steering and suspension, and brakes. With this inspection, we want to help you stay on top of any issues that may require preventative maintenance.

Depending on where you live, your local Firestone Complete Auto Care may be able to perform state-mandated inspections or safety tests on your vehicle. These inspections are governed by state automotive laws and may vary in different locations.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 1986 Toyota Van is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. Toyota recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.

If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Toyota Van’s cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. From the radiator cap to the heater core, your 1986 Toyota Van is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
