Choosing 2011 Toyota Yaris Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Yaris tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. 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!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Yaris.

  • Should my Yaris be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your Yaris has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.

  • Why is my Toyota Yaris making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Toyota Yaris 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 my Toyota Yaris engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided.

2011 Toyota Yaris Tire Repair

If your 2011 Toyota Yaris is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back.

Frequently Asked Toyota Yaris Tire Repair Questions

  • Can I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? Driving on a flat or underinflated tire can put extra stress on your wheels and alignment.

  • 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 should I do after hitting a pothole in my Toyota Yaris?  You know your Toyota Yaris better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Toyota Yaris?  Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Toyota Yaris? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  • Can Toyota dashboard warning lights wait?  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 Yaris, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light.

Commonly Asked Toyota Yaris Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Toyota Yaris 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 substance accumulating on my Yaris’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Yaris’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Yaris, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

Oil Changes for 2011 Toyota Yaris

Your 2011 Yaris’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. Your Yaris may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota Yaris. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Yaris 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.

Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your Yaris's engine.

2011 Toyota Yaris Oil Change Questions

  • Why is my Toyota Yaris oil light illuminated?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Toyota Yaris oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • 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 Yaris exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  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.

Engine Tune-Up Service for Your 2011 Toyota Yaris

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Yaris’s engine. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Toyota Yaris engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option.

A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Yaris. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your Yaris's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Yaris can determine what kind of service it needs. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

*Check with a teammate at Firestone Complete Auto Care for complete terms and conditions regarding warranties.

2011 Toyota Yaris Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Toyota Yaris spark plugs be replaced? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota Yaris? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Yaris. 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 do Toyota Yaris fuel injectors need to be cleaned? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Toyota owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

2011 Yaris Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first drove your 2011 Toyota Yaris, 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 Yaris bounces, sways 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 2011 Toyota Yaris 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

2011 Yaris Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Toyota Yaris bouncing excessively? 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 Yaris front end dip forward when I brake?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Yaris combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • 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.

2011 Toyota Yaris A/C System FAQs

  • Why do I get hot air from my Yaris A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Yaris's A/C system.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Yaris’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Yaris may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

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 Toyota Yaris transmission fluid leak?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Yaris, 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.
  • Should I avoid driving my Toyota Yaris if there is a transmission fluid leak?  Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended.

Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my Yaris overheating?  Your Toyota Yaris engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.
  • Why does the radiator in my Yaris sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? There could be air pockets in your Yaris’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
