Working air conditioning in your vehicle can make the difference between a cool and relaxing ride or an exhausting, uncomfortable trek. Having regular air conditioning inspections ensures that your Toyota's climate system is always operating smoothly. Our Toyota dealership is sharing five signs that your vehicle needs air conditioning maintenance. more 5 Signs You Need Air Conditioning Maintenance At Our Toyota Dealership 1. Warm Air Blowing Out One of the biggest indicators that something is wrong with your Toyota's air conditioning is warm air blowing out of the vents when you turn the AC on. This typically happens when there are issues with the system's refrigerant, a substance that is responsible for drawing heat from air before it exits your vents. Our technicians can inject a special dye into your AC system to detect if there are any refrigerant leaks or check for other possible causes, such as a failing clutch switch or a damaged compressor. 2. No Air Blowing Out While warm air is a bad sign for your air conditioner, so is no air at all. If you turn on your Toyota's AC and nothing happens, there may be something wrong with the blower fan or resistor. Faulty wiring or issues within your Toyota's electrical system can also stop air from flowing properly through the climate system. 3. Water Leaking Does water leak from your vents when you turn the air conditioning on? Your Toyota's climate system has a drain line that removes condensation from your vehicle, but if this line is clogged or damaged, it causes condensation to exit through the vents. A technician can easily clear or replace your drain line to stop this leaking. 4. Foul Odors If you smell bad odors coming from your vents when you turn the AC on, your system may be in need of a deep cleaning. This often happens when your vehicle's air conditioning hasn't been used in a while, causing dirt, dust, mold, and mildew to build up within the system. A professional cleanse with antibacterial cleaning products can resolve this problem in no time! 5. Weird Noises Strange noises indicate that your vehicle's climate system is under stress. If there's a bearing inside the system that's worn down, it can cause a grinding, squealing sound. If something has gotten caught in your air intake or blower, you might hear knocking and rattling noises coming from your system. Is your Toyota showing any of these signs of faulty air conditioning? Air conditioning maintenance is recommended one to two times a year to make sure your car's system is in peak condition.

Every new Toyota is covered by a three-year or 36,000-mile warranty that protects it against any unforeseen issues with the materials or labor used in its construction. This comprehensive warranty will eventually expire, but you can extend your warranty benefits by choosing a Vehicle Service Agreement (VSA).  As your Toyota dealership, we want to tell you more about some of the benefits of choosing one of these extension options. more From Your Toyota Dealership: 3 Extended Warranty Benefits Three Different Plans You have three plan options to choose from depending on your needs and requirements. The basic agreement, the Powertrain Protection VSA, focuses on the components that comprise the powertrain, the systems that enable your vehicle to move. This agreement covers components in the engine, transmission, and axle assembly. In addition, if you have a hybrid, its drive components are also protected. The next level up is the Gold Protection VSA. This agreement covers everything in the above VSA together with components in the steering, climate control, front and rear suspensions, fuel and electrical systems, and additional specialized hybrid systems, if applicable. Finally, the Platinum Protection VSA covers every system and component in your Toyota except those specifically excluded in the VSA contract. Additional Benefits All three VSAs include a range of benefits that apply for the agreement duration. Roadside assistance is available 24/7/365 to help with any issues you might face on the road. If something goes wrong, expert technicians will be dispatched to you. They can change a flat, jump-start your Toyota, provide lockout assistance, winch you from a ditch, tow you to a dealer, or deliver emergency fuel. If your vehicle can't be driven due to a mechanical issue covered by the VSA, help is available. If you're 150 miles or more from home, you'll receive up to $50 daily for food, lodging, and transport. In addition, you can receive up to $35 per day to pay for car rental. Flexible Options Each plan has the flexibility to customize it to your needs. You can choose an agreement length from three years or 50,000 miles up to ten years or 125,000 miles. The VSA you choose automatically activates when your original warranty expires, providing seamless coverage. You can also choose the deductible you want from either $0, $100, or a $100 disappearing deductible. The disappearing deductible is waived if you take your vehicle to the dealer where you got your VSA for the repair. If you sell your vehicle, the remaining portion of your VSA is transferrable to the new owner. If you'd like to know more about any of these plans or sign up for the plan you've chosen, contact us today at Steet Toyota of Yorkville in Yorkville, NY.
