Where To Go To Service?; Does Your Vehicle Need Repair? - Toyota Avensis Owner's Manual

 Where to go for service?
In order to maintain your vehicle in the highest possible condition, Toyota
recommends that all repairs and service operations be carried out by autho-
rized Toyota dealers or repairers or other duly qualified and equipped profes-
sionals. For repairs and services covered by your warranty, please visit an
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, who will use genuine Toyota parts in
repairing any difficulties you may encounter. There can also be advantages
in utilizing authorized Toyota dealers or repairers for non-warranty repairs
and services, as members of the Toyota network will be able to expertly
assist you with any difficulties you may encounter.
Your Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional service department will perform all of the scheduled maintenance
on your vehicle-reliably and economically due to their experience with
Toyota vehicles.

Does your vehicle need repair?


Be on the alert for changes in performance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are:
 Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging
 Appreciable loss of power
 Strange engine noises
A fluid leak under the vehicle (However, water dripping from the air condi-

tioning after use is normal.)
 Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon mon-
oxide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system
checked immediately.)
 Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
