Meet the 2025 Toyota Corolla Sedan

This compact sedan has gas and hybrid options available for every lifestyle, making it a perfect fit for drivers of every background. The Toyota Corolla has dominated car sales worldwide for years due to its ultimate reliability, comfort and starting price. Read through some of its great features and trims below.

 

Gas Trims

Gas Models Performance

2025 Toyota Corolla sedan gas models have 2.0 Litre 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engines that can deliver up to 169 horsepower. On sporty models like the SE and XSE, you can enjoy the MacPherson sport-tuned suspension, which includes strut front suspension and double wishbone rear suspension.

 

Are you worried about sacrificing horsepower for fuel efficiency? Not to worry. The 2025 Toyota Corolla sedan has incredible fuel economy while delivering a powerful performance. The L CVT has a rating of 7.4/5.7 L/100km (city/highway) and the XSE CVT has 7.6/5.9 L/100km (city/highway), meaning you save dollars at the gas station regardless of trim level.

 

Hybrid Trims

Hybrid Models Performance

Hybrid models of the 2025 Toyota Corolla sedan come equipped with a 1.8-litre Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder engine paired with electric motor-generators and optional Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (eAWD). Like the gas models, Toyota Corolla hybrids also have an electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). Check out of Guide to Electric Vehicles for more information.

You can still enjoy up to 138 horsepower but with even better fuel efficiency! The LE Hybrid has a fuel efficiency rating of 4.4/5.1 L/100km (city/highway) and the XSE AWD Hybrid has 5.0/5.7 L/100km (city/highway).

 

Fun fact: All-wheel drive now comes standard on the sporty SE and XSE, making the hybrid Corolla the only compact car available with AWD!

The holiday season is approaching, and a new vehicle is calling your name… so why not trade your car in? Trade-ins are convenient, fast, and often come with more benefits than selling privately. And if you want the best value, it’s important to prepare your car for trade-in the right way.

Tips to Prepare Your Car For Trade-In

Tip #1: Know Your Car’s Value

You need to be as educated as possible when selling or trading in your vehicle. Don’t go through with a trade without knowing the resale value of your vehicle and doing your research! 

 

How To Check Your Car’s Value

We recommend using online price value estimators to find estimated minimum prices for your make and model.

 

Here are some recommendations:

 

You will need to supply the following information to get accurate estimates:

 

Tip #2: Have Your Car’s Documentation

Documentation can make or break a good trade-in value! We recommend keeping any maintenance documents, oil change receipts, vehicle owner’s guide, etc., with you to bring to the dealership. These documents can show that you take good care of your vehicle and that maintenance schedules have been followed.

Have Your VIN On-Hand

VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number and should be included in the provided documentation. You can typically find your VIN engraved on a metal plate on the driver’s side of your vehicle (bottom of the door or dashboard) or your pink slip.

Tip #3: Learn How Car Trade-Ins Work

When you prepare your car for trade-in, the dealership will assess the car’s value and apply that value towards the purchase of a new vehicle. This is a great and convenient way to upgrade your vehicle!

 

Multiple factors will affect the car’s resale or trade-in value (see below for Tip #4). But what happens if you want to trade in a car that you owe money on?

 

Financed Car Trade-Ins

Dealerships will run a lien search to see how much money is owed on the car. A car lien, according to the Government of Canada, is “a lender’s claim for repayment that they register against a car or other type of motor vehicle.” 

 

If the trade-in value for your vehicle is higher than the loan balance, you’ll receive credit towards the new one! However, if the loan balance (lien) is higher than the car’s trade-in value, then you’ll need to pay the difference. This can mean higher monthly payments or an increased cost upfront. 

 

Tip #4: Know Car Value Factors 

Let’s continue with our tips to prepare your car for trade-in. Multiple factors can affect your car’s trade-in value, and staying informed is key. 

 

Popular car makes and models are more likely to be resold and will be more likely to be desired by a dealership. General vehicle upkeep, such as eating, drinking, or smoking in the car, can also influence resale value. If your vehicle has been exposed to smoke regularly, it’s less likely to resell well. 

 

Moreover, mileage is one of the most important car value factors. If your car is over 100,000km, its value reduces. This means that vehicles used for extensive travel or long commutes can have lower resale values than vehicles driven less often.

These factors will affect the dollar value offered to you by the dealership.

 

Tip #5: Engine Lights are a No-No

So you have your ducks (and documents) in a row… what’s next? If your vehicle has any service or engine lights on, we recommend sorting that out as soon as possible. Having no obvious service issues makes your vehicle more appealing for a trade!

 

If you have a high-mileage vehicle, it’s quite common for check engine lights to turn on due to faulty oxygen sensors.

To identify why your engine light is on, we have two recommendations.

 

Book a Service Appointment

If you’re due for your service maintenance appointment, you can have our technicians take a look at the source of the check engine light at the same time. Book your service appointment with our team here. 

 

Get a Code Reader

You can use a code reader if you’re on a tight budget or want to try your hand yourself. A code reader is a tool that allows you to read, display, and clear codes on your vehicle. It can also help you diagnose what the engine light is telling you. Once you know the issue, you can make minor repairs yourself or communicate it with our service team. 

 

Tip #6: Make Minor Repairs

Does your car have minor dents and scratches? See if they can be buffed out. Is your headlamp broken? A simple bulb replacement can solve that. Do you have a dirty air filter? You can easily replace it yourself or have it done during a service appointment. 

 

We also recommend double-checking that you have all the original items with the car. For example, if you removed a headrest or lost your gas cap along the way, these will need to be replaced. 

 

Bonus: dealerships love it if you have both sets of keys! Keys can be expensive to remake, so bring both sets of keys to sweeten your trade-in deal. 

 

Tip #7: Check Your Tires

As you’re doing minor repairs on your vehicle, take the chance to examine the state of your car’s tires. 

 

If you take a car with worn-out tires to a dealership to trade in, the dealership will have to replace the tires before selling them to another customer. Therefore, they will deduct that cost from your trade-in value. However, if your tires are in good shape and still have good wear, that additional cost may not be needed.

Tip #8: Check Insurance Coverage For Major Repairs

If your car has more serious issues, we recommend addressing those before trading in your vehicle. For example, if you have a cracked windshield, we suggest checking your insurance coverage before considering a replacement. While you may have to pay a small deductible, it’s often worth it as you get it replaced under insurance coverage.

If your car has any major issues, such as the following, we recommend getting it checked out by a technician.

Tip #9: Clean Your Car

Now that your car is in good shape and you have all the documentation you need, it’s time to clean your car! Depending on the state of your vehicle, you might not need a professional detail service, but you should still clean it yourself to ensure you get the best trade-in offer possible.

 

Give it A Good Wash

Vacuum the interior, wipe down any surfaces, and have the exterior of your car washed. Check out our Valet & Car Wash options as well. Stains, smells and overly dirty vehicles don’t make good first impressions and will reduce your car’s trade-in value. Toyota sells the Toyota Touch Kit, which includes high-quality cleaning and detailing products you can use in the comfort of your driveway.

Too busy to do a deep clean? You can invest in a detailing service from our team to get your vehicle inspection ready! 

 

Remove Personal Belongings

We recommend removing trash from the vehicle (check those side doors and hidden compartments) and having an empty trunk. Having a lot of personal items can hamper the car inspection process and lead to a lower trade-in value. 

 

Tip #10: Pump Up Your Car’s Mojo

While pumping your car’s tires is also important, we’re talking about boosting the perceived value of your vehicle during a trade-in offer. Don’t bad-mouth or talk down on your car! 

 

If you talk about how badly your car runs or how much you hate it, why would a dealership want to buy it? While you should be honest about any issues with it, you should avoid trash-talking and devaluing your car during the trade-in process. 

 

Think to yourself: will this car be an easy sell to others? Why do you need or want a new vehicle? And why should this dealership go through with this trade?

The extreme weather swings of Northern Alberta can damage your vehicle if you don’t take care of it. That’s why this list of essential car features is a must-have for Edmontonians, whether you’re a long-time resident or just arrived. 

 

Icy roads, snowbanks, freezing temperatures, and cold starts on your way to work… need we say more? Like a scarf and gloves keep you safe from frostbite, your car also needs protection.

 

Whether you already have a Toyota or are looking for cars in Edmonton, here are our top five essential car features for an Albertan winter.

Essential Car Features for Cars in Edmonton

While handy accessories make your drive more enjoyable, these car features can make a BIG difference when the temperatures plummet.

 

Essential Car Features #1: All-Wheel Drive

All-wheel drive (AWD) can save the day when the roads are slick and the snow is thick! It offers additional traction and makes winter drives safer than other drive systems like rear-wheel drive.

 

What is an All-Wheel Drive System? 

AWD systems are used in cars and SUVs to deliver power to all four wheels simultaneously and provide traction to get the vehicle going. They operate continuously and vary power delivery to the front or rear wheels when needed. Brilliantly, this makes for seamless, smooth acceleration in icy conditions. This is especially helpful when stuck on an icy patch of the road or in a snowed-in back alley!

All-wheel drive is better than two-wheel drive when going on slick surfaces; however, it isn’t enough on its own when driving on snowy roads. Our Toyota experts recommend using winter tires in partnership with AWD to improve braking and cornering in winter. 

 

Learn the difference between AWD, FWD, 4WD and 2WD (rear-drive) vehicles here. 

 

Essential Car Features #2: Winter Tires

Winter tires are the best choice for Edmontonians as the engineered rubber is designed to perform optimally in cold, snowy conditions. We recommend changing to winter tires when daily temperatures drop below 7°C.

 

In addition to superior cold-weather performance, winter tires improve grip and traction, remain flexible in freezing temperatures, and have better braking performance. 

 

Essential car features like winter tires are crucial! A vehicle uses snow tires to drive through the snow.

 

Comparison: Winter Tires vs All-Season Tires

Winter tires are created to perform best in cold and icy conditions, but all-season tires are intended for year-round use in mild to moderate climates. While all-season tires are perfect for summer weather, we don’t recommend using them in Canada’s severe winter season. 

 

The benefits of winter tires include helping ensure your vehicle runs smoothly, your tires last longer, avoiding unnecessary tire wear and replacements, and you and your passengers stay safe this season.

Essential Car Features #3: Car-Warming Accessories

The cold months are long, and being comfortable (and warm) in your vehicle is a priority. So we recommend investing in car-warming accessories and features like heated seats and steering wheels!

 

Heated Seats

Toyota knows how cold Canada can get and has included heated and ventilated seat add-ons to its lineup of vehicles. While ventilated seats can cool you off in the summer, our heated seats are designed to provide warmth and comfort in cold temperatures!

 

Heated Steering Wheel

Say goodbye to cold and exposed hands while driving in -30°C temperatures! To use the heated steering wheel feature, simply press the button with the steering wheel icon on the instrument panel. To turn off the heating function, press the button again. 

 

Essential Car Features #4: Dash Camera

Edmonton’s Police Chief, Dale McFee, recently stated that he was concerned about the increase in car crashes involving pedestrian fatalities in 2024. And he’s not alone – CityNews Calgary also reported Alberta’s rising driving injuries. 

 

One of the tools in your road safety toolbelt is the Toyota Genuine Dash Camera Series 2.0. This dashcam, with a 16GB Micro SD memory card and optional rear camera, can provide incident recordings when an unusual shock or movement is detected, like a car crash. You can view the recorded footage on the Toyota Canada smartphone app or desktop.

This car feature can help keep you safe on the road and assist in any insurance claims or police investigations should you be involved in an accident. Our Parts Centre would be happy to further explain more details about available dash cam accessories to you.

 

Did you know? To manually capture events on the road, you can touch or wave a finger within 20mm of the proximity sensor to trigger manual recording. It will continuously record for 1 minute. 

 

Essential Car Features #5: Remote Start

A remote start feature is an Edmontonian’s best friend. Two great remote start options for Toyota owners are the Toyota App Remote Connect or Toyota START+. 

 

The Toyota App

The Toyota App lets you stay connected with your vehicle with a host of features, including locking your doors, checking your fuel level, and starting the engine. 

 

 

Unfortunately, this convenient Remote Connect option isn’t available for some older Toyota vehicle models. That’s where we meet the Toyota START+!

 

Did you know? West Edmonton Mall Toyota has its own app that allows you to schedule service appointments, earn cash back, and access exclusive deals with West Edmonton Mall businesses. 

 

Toyota START+

START+ is a long-range remote starter that lets you start your vehicle from 800m away and activate the heating system for cold winter mornings. It not only helps clear condensation, but it’s super easy to operate!

 

Watch this video demonstration here. 

 

No more waking up early to start your cold vehicle and defrost your windows. Revolutionize your winter routine by pressing two buttons in sequence to start or stop your engine.

As the days slowly get shorter and we start gearing up for fall weather… it’s time to start thinking about how to do Alberta winter tires on a budget. 

 

While your all-season tires perform well in moderate to warm conditions, Canadian winters present a chilly and icy challenge best suited for winter tires. They can significantly reduce braking distance, and improve control and traction in snowy -30°C conditions. 

 

In this blog we’ll explore:

Read: Demystifying Car Service Costs: Answering Your Most Common Questions

Different Types of Tires

Let’s explore the different types of tires available for Toyota customers. Firstly, all-season tires.

 

All-Season Tires

These time-saving tires are intended for year-round use in mild to moderate climates. They’re designed for great performance, long tread life and improved fuel efficiency, but are not recommended for Canada’s severe winter conditions. 

 

Read: All Season vs Summer Tires

 

A vehicle drives on all-season tires on a sunny day on a dirt and grass road.

 

Summer Tires

Secondly, summer tires are specifically designed for warmer conditions and sportier vehicles. They can enhance steering response and handling precision, and offer a firm grip on dry roads! However, as they are intended for sportier vehicles, they can wear out more quickly than all-seasons due to enhanced grip.

 

Winter Tires

These tires are recommended as soon as daily temperatures drop below 7°C. Why? Simply, they are designed to perform optimally in cold, snowy conditions. Winter tires are made from engineered rubber intended for use only in cold temperatures and offer superior traction over other types of tires. 

 

A vehicle drives on winter tires on a snowy road in the forest, with snow packed behind the wheels.

 

If you do a lot of inter-provincial travel, you’ll know that some BC highways legally require winter tires from October 1st to April 30th. Additionally, Quebec legally requires them between December 1st and March 15th!

 

However, using winter tires in warmer weather conditions can result in accelerated tire wear and poor vehicle handling.

 

Truck Tires

Light truck tires are designed for off-road traction, on-road handling, and high-level performance. So if you own a Toyota Truck or SUV, these tires are for you!

 

What We Recommend

We recommend Canadians in passenger vehicles use all-season tires in the warmer months of the year. For the colder months, we recommend winter tires. For specialty vehicles or trucks, there can be other tires to consider.

Tips For Alberta Winter Tires On A Budget

Now that you know the differences between Toyota tire options, learn how you can do winter tires on a budget below. 

 

Alberta Winter Tires On A Budget: Check The Tire Tread

The tire tread is the part of the tire that makes contact with the road, and groove patterns can vary from tire type to manufacturer. As you drive, the tire tread gradually wears down from contact with the road. 

 

A close-up shot of the tire tread and grooves on a Toyota winter tire.

 

A key part of checking if your winter tires are safe to drive on the road is checking the tire tread depth. A Toyota Service Technician can check and record tire tread depth for you, or you can do it yourself at home!

 

For this, all you’ll need is a quarter. Take the quarter and insert it into one of the tire grooves. If you can see the tip of the caribou’s nose, you may need to replace your tires! Alternating your tires can help reduce accelerated tread wear and help your tires’ last longer, but if your tread has worn too low, you will need to replace them.

 

Alberta Winter Tires On A Budget: Toyota Tire Price Match

With the return of the iconic Land Cruiser nameplate to Canada this year, many Canadians are wondering which off-road Toyota SUV is right for them. Toyota Land Cruiser or Toyota 4Runner?

 

Those who call Alberta home know our province is biodiverse and covers many landscapes. Grasslands and prairies, mountains and foothills, forest and cities, 30°C summers and -30°C winters..… the modern Albertan needs a vehicle that can do it all.

 

Meet the offroading SUVs from Toyota for 2024 – the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Toyota 4Runner! This blog will compare these two popular all-terrain SUVs’ size, performance and benefits.

Toyota Land Cruiser vs Toyota 4Runner

The Land Cruiser is one of the most iconic off-roading vehicles with incredible global sales. Although the Land Cruiser left Canadian markets in 1989, the 4Runner quickly became a favourite when production began in 1984. Now that the Land Cruiser has returned to Canada, let’s see the main differences between these  2024 Toyota vehicles.

 

2024 Toyota Land Cruiser

The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is back and better than ever with 3 distinct grades: the retro-inspired 1984, the Premium Package, and the limited-time First Edition. Toyota owners can choose a Land Cruiser with one of those packages, or the special 1958 grade with retro-inspired headlamps and iconic exterior. Additionally, all 2024 Toyota Land Cruisers have modern hybrid technology, with its turbo hybrid engine generating a whopping 326 horsepower!

Performance

All-terrain performance and off-road 4WD draw Edmontonions to the Land Cruiser and the 4Runner. So, let’s break down the performance specifications of each of these SUVs!

 

2024 Toyota Land Cruiser

Engine: i-FORCE MAX 2.4L Turbo L4 Hybrid

Power: 326 hp

Towing capacity: 6000 lbs.

Transmission: 8-Speed Automatic

Drive: 4WD

Fuel efficiency: 10.7/9.5 est. L/100km, city/highway

Fuel tank: 68L

 

Toyota Land Cruiser vs Toyota 4Runner 5

All in, what are the differences between these models?

 

Engine power: The gas model 4Runner with the 4L engine falls short at 270 horsepower compared to the Land Cruiser with the 2.4L hybrid engine at 326 horsepower.

Fuel usage: The 4Runner has a larger fuel tank at 87L, but not as great of a fuel efficiency. The Land Cruiser wins for efficiency with 10.7/9.5 est. L/100KM (city/highway) while the 4Runnder lags with 14.8/12.5 est. L/100KM (city/highway).

Towing capacity: While both models can tow incredible weight, the Land Cruiser beats the 4Runner with a towing capacity of 6000 lbs compared to 5000 lbs.

 

Therefore, the Land Cruiser is the PERFORMANCE WINNER with an 8-speed Automatic, full-time 4WD, 326 horsepower and better fuel efficiency. (However, you’re paying for the better off-road performance)

 

Exterior and Interior

The 4Runner: with its large cargo space, smaller vehicle dimensions, and off-roading add-ons, this SUV is great for the energetic and agile. If you’re an adventurous family who needs a vehicle that can conquer the outdoors at a lower starting price, the 4Runner is for you.

The time for an Alberta summer road trip is here. 

With temperatures in Edmonton increasing after a long rainy spring season, we’re excited to get out there and enjoy the sunshine! 

 

As Albertans hit the road, we’re here to offer some tips on getting road trip-ready. Keep reading to learn how to get your vehicle road trip-ready and learn about some of our favourite essential products to make this your best road trip yet.

Get Summer Road Trip Ready

It’s essential to keep your vehicle in tip-top shape, especially when you’re about to embark on a road trip. Here are some tips to keep your car running as it should!

 

Tip 1: Keep Cool With a Vehicle Fluid Top-Up

We know how important it is to stay hydrated and cool in the summer months to avoid overheating… and the same goes for our vehicle. Fluid top-ups and changes are essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly. 

 

Book a service appointment with our team to inspect and refill your vehicle fluids, including engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, or transmission fluids. Per the Toyota Maintenance Schedule, we recommend getting your vehicle fluids checked every 8,000 km or six months.

Tip 2: Follow The Toyota Maintenance Schedule

Regular Toyota Maintenance should be scheduled every six months or 8,000 kilometres, or whichever comes first. Maintaining your car regularly is important as it reduces the number of service-related breakdowns in the future.

 

This is especially helpful as you don’t want to break down on your adventure.

Tip 3: Stay Safe With A Dash Camera

Keep yourself and your passengers safe with the Toyota Genuine Dash Camera! Once the car’s ignition is on, the Dash Camera automatically records video, audio, and location data. Review the footage from your smartphone or computer with our free app!

 

Not only can you capture precious road trip memories, but you can also have any potential collisions or accidents caught on camera.

 

 

Tip 4: Wipers & Tires 

Do you have your summer/all-season tires on? Are your windshield wipers in good shape? Better yet, when was the last time you had them checked?

 

Your safety on the road starts with visibility. Check if your windshield wipers are cracked or damaged on the rubber blade. If your wipers look damaged or haven’t been replaced in a few seasons, it’s time for a change! 

 

For tires, ensure you have the correct tires on and double-check the tire tread depth. Having worn-out tire tread can lead to hydroplaning and accidents, and having winter tires on your vehicle in the hot summer can reduce your tire’s lifespan by up to 60%!

Tip 5: Stock Up On Safety 

For any road trip, especially the long-distance ones, you’ll want some safety essentials in case of emergency.

 

Be prepared for anything with these safety essentials.

Arthur Jeanson bought his Toyota Tundra from our team at West Edmonton Mall Toyota (previously known as Mayfield Toyota) on March 10, 2007. After years of reliable performance and countless memories, his Tundra hit the 1,000,000 km mark in June 2024 — 17 years later.

Toyota has become synonymous with reliability, and their vehicles stand the test of time. Arthur’s tale is more common than you may think! Take Mark Intihar for example, the Ontario man whose 2000 Toyota Sienna hit the 2,000,000-kilometre mark. (Or simply Google “the Toyota High Mileage Club” to see Toyota vehicles across the globe reach high kilometrages!)

 

Tales of long-lasting Toyota vehicles are a testament to the brand’s commitment to producing the highest standards in engineering and manufacturing quality.

 

We loved hearing Arthur’s story and decided to share his remarkable journey with you here. This blog will detail the lifespan of Arthur’s Toyota Tundra in Western Canada, from delivery to a  million kilometres, and some of his favourite memories he made with it along the way. 

 

Meet Arthur & His Toyota Tundra

Arthur Jeanson is one of our loyal West Edmonton Mall Toyota customers. He took delivery of his brand-new Toyota Tundra from us in March 2007, back when we were called Mayfield Toyota. It’s hard to believe we’ve been serving the communities of West Edmonton for over 25 years. While our name and location might have changed, our appreciation for loyal customers like Arthur remains the same.

Arthur’s Toyota Tundra Kilometerage Timeline

Arthur has had many road trips and memories in his 4.7L Toyota Tundra. From county lines to grocery runs, his 2007 Tundra has done it all!

 

A fan of weekend getaways, this truck has hauled boats, ATVs, and Sea-Doos for friends and family. Rolling down sunny Manitoba highways with the windows down, and braving chilly Albertan winters, the 4.7L Toyota Tundra did everything Arthur needed to do. Not only could he rely on it for the fun times, but it was also a sturdy and dependable work vehicle that made hauling easy. 

 

Follow his journey to a million kilometres below!

 

April 11, 2008 – Hit the 99,999KM mark

July 1, 2014 – Hit the 500,000KM mark

March 10, 2017 – Hit the 706,984KM mark

June 5, 2024 – Hit the 1,000,000KM mark

Arthur’s Tundra journey continues today. While Arthur currently lives in South Eastern Manitoba, he and his Tundra have moved all over Western Canada. He spent roughly 3 years in Yellowknife (Northwest Territories), 5 years in Peace Country (Northern Alberta), and a few years around Edmonton before relocating back to Manitoba in 2015. What a wild ride it’s been!

 

Toyota Reliability: What Andrew Has To Say

Toyota Canada has been faithfully serving Canadians since 1964. From importing to domestic production lines to leading the field in hybrid vehicles… Toyota has established a reputation for reliability across six decades of experience. 

 

Read: The History of Toyota in Canada

 

Our Proven Track Record

Over those six decades, our vehicles have regularly appeared in consumer reviews and awards for reliable performance and safety. The 2024 model of the Toyota Tundra just received a “Top Safety Pick+” Award from The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

 

Consumer Reports rated Toyota in the Top 3 most reliable car brands in 2023 according to owner satisfaction, coming second behind Lexus. Additionally, RepairPal has Toyota rated as “Above Average” in Reliability.

 

Durable Parts & Guaranteed Service

One of the biggest reasons Toyota has become known for its reliability is the quality of our craftsmanship and control processes throughout our manufacturing process. So much so that we guarantee our Toyota Genuine Parts and service work. From coolant to oil to tire swaps and wheel alignments, you can expect the highest level of quality and care from the Toyota brand.

 

Arthur, and thousands of Canadians like him, choose Toyota vehicles because of this repudiation for reliability and performance. But don’t just take our word for it. 

 

Let’s hear from Arthur!

“[My] truck has treated me well. Original powertrain… lots of my early maintenance was done at Mayfield Toyota whenever I was around Edmonton. I would drive to Edmonton from the Peace River area if I needed any work done…”

Reaching the incredible 1,000,000 km mark with his 17-year-old Tundra can be attributed to Toyota’s reliability AND ensuring his vehicle always received regular maintenance and care.

 

Toyota Vehicle Maintenance

Regular maintenance makes all the difference. Your vehicle’s safety, performance, efficiency, lifespan, and resale value depend on it!

 

This is even more crucial in Canada, thanks to extreme weather swings. We recommend following the Toyota Maintenance Schedule for all of your Toyota vehicles, and checking in with one of our service team members if you’re unsure. 

 

We recommend booking a service appointment check-up every 8,000 KM or 6 months, whichever comes first. This keeps your car maintained regularly and reduces the number of service-related issues down the line. That includes things like regular oil and fluid changes! (Just ask Arthur, he’s had many on his journey to a million kilometres.)
