what does toyotacare cover

Nobody likes getting a flat tire, but unfortunately, some of us might not know how to get it taken care of. So today, Keith Pierson Toyota wants to show our Jacksonville, FL customers how to change a flat tire and let them know what we can do for them before, during, and after the event.

If you end up getting a flat while driving, the first thing to do is to remain calm and in control of the vehicle. Reduce your speed and try to find a place you can get to quickly with little traffic, so you can begin the repair. Use the tire iron in the spare kit to loosen the tire’s lug nuts, and then remove them by hand. Use the jack in the spare kit to raise the vehicle’s frame so you can get the wheel out and put the spare tire on. Once in place, hand-tighten the lug nuts to get them into place, then drop the jack. You can then use the tire iron to secure the lug nuts on the wheel, and you should be good to go.

We recommend that once your spare is fixed, you come into the Keith Pierson Toyota Service Center. Our team of trained professionals will provide you with a full-size tire or wheel (if it was damaged) and also take a look at your vehicle in case there is any damage to your vehicle’s body. Once we’ve taken care of your new tire, remember to always schedule your used or new Toyota vehicle for regular maintenance to keep it in top shape. Be safe out there, and take care!

When you think about Toyota cars, a few characteristics come to mind: reliability, responsibility, technology, and safety. And while the last quality may go overlooked by drivers and bloggers, we promise you that keeping your family safe is always our first priority. So today, we want to share with you Toyota Safety Sense™, the suite of active safety features that are included as standard on more and more  new Toyota models. Here are a few of the suite’s most impressive safety features.

The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCSPD) is one useful safety features that uses radar and cameras in your vehicle to track the road ahead of you and sense if there’s an obstacle in the way. If there is, emergency braking can be applied if the vehicle doesn’t think the brakes are being deployed fast enough, which can save you from a potential collision.

Automatic High Beams are another great feature that take the stress out of driving at night. When the vehicle sense another car approaching, it will switch off your highbeams to avoid distracting other drivers on the road. You’ll be glad to have this feature, and the drivers around you will be doubly so.

Lastly, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control takes the radar sensor from PCSPD and helps you keep a safe distance from cars around you when on cruise control. The radar detects the speed of vehicles around you, especially those in front of you, and sets your speed to be a certain adjustable distance from them. When they slow down, you slow down. When they accelerate, so do you. And when other things get in the way, the system can apply emergency brakes to make sure all vehicles remain safe and secure.

So what are you waiting for? Ask Keith Pierson Toyota today for the best deals on a new or certified pre-owned Toyota car so you can experience these great features for yourself!

Most people, when they think of April, picture sunshine, flowers, and those spring showers, too. But at Keith Pierson Toyota, we’re all about care. Specifically, care for your new or pre-owned Toyota car. You see, April is National Car Care Month, and today, we want to tell you about the importance of keeping up with maintenance on your Toyota vehicle.

When you think about maintenance, oil changes are usually the first thing to pop up. It’s such an easy thing to neglect, though. After all, it’s not like anything goes wrong immediately if you don’t change your oil every 3,000 miles. But after time, you’re going to notice reduced gas mileage, and over time, your engine is going to experience premature wear and tear, since old oil heats up faster and has more impurities that can corrode your engine’s parts and impede performance permanently if left unchecked.

There are also things that need to be replaced regularly as well, and you should always opt for using OEM parts to replace them. Our Toyota service center uses only genuine parts to keep the vehicle in tip-top shape. That’s anything from brake pads to tires, to batteries and air filters. We’ve got a huge squad of certified Toyota technicians and mechanics ready and waiting to cater to your Toyota vehicle’s every need.

So whether you’ve got a new 2019 Toyota Camry, a used Toyota RAV4, or anything else in-between, come into our Jacksonville, FL Toyota service center for deals on parts and service. You’re not going to find a better place to get your car all ship-shape for National Car Care Month. See you soon!

Whether it’s a brand new 2019 Toyota Camry or another pre-owned Toyota car, we want you to get exactly the model you’re looking for. That’s the reason we have the Toyota Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Program. This is a title we give to the pre-owned vehicles we have that have surpassed the standards of normal pre-owned vehicles. Since we do get a few questions as to what the differences are, we decided to give you all the specifics today.

When it comes to standard pre-owned vehicles, Keith Pierson stands by every vehicle we sell. We are proud of the selection of used vehicles we offer, and we guarantee that our pre-owned Toyota cars are going to impress you with their capability and longevity.

Vehicles that qualify for the CPO title have been put through the ringer to ensure they meet most stringent of standards. Our vehicles pass a 160-point Quality Assurance inspection and also come with a free CARFAX vehicle history report, which verifies the vehicle’s squeaky-clean record. CPO vehicles also come with a 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive warranty that covers a wide variety of components. They also come with a 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain warranty against major engine, transmission, and lubricated parts of your vehicle as well. And if you decide to sell your vehicle down the line, there are extended warranty coverage options available to bring your vehicle’s value up with no extra effort on your part.

Heading in for a test drive at any dealership is a fun time, because you’re checking out a new Toyota vehicle and having fun driving it. However, it’s easy to get lost in the experience of driving a new vehicle without paying attention to the finer points of the car. So today, we at Keith Pierson Toyota want to give you our tips for making sure your test drive is as productive as possible.

For instance, if you’re coming into our Jacksonville, FL area Toyota dealership, then you’re going to want to do your research before even stopping in. What kind of vehicle are you in the market for? Do you want a storied sedan with years of reliability and innovative technologies behind it? Try out the 2019 Toyota Camry. Or are you looking for a crossover that combines speed and handling with an off-road spirit? Then you’re looking for the 2019 Toyota RAV4. There are also several different trims to consider, as well, especially if you’re going to consider a hybrid model.

When you get behind the wheel for your test drive, you’ve got a few things you need to feel out before you drive off the lot. Were you able to get in and out easily? How does the interior of the cabin feel? Is it easy to adjust options on the infotainment screen with a minimum of hassle? Get a feel for the overall experience of the vehicle itself while it’s sitting still.

But when you’re driving? Get into it! Find as many different traffic situations as possible. Highway traffic? Use it to test acceleration and the active safety features like blind spot detection. Stop-and-go traffic? Test other safety features like lane-keep assist with emergency braking and figure out how to navigate with the integrated touchscreen.

Going for a test drive is a great way to make sure this vehicle is what you’re looking for. So come into our Jacksonville, FL Toyota dealer to find the right car for your lifestyle today!
