Regular servicing can help:
1. Maintain your Toyota’s reliability
2. Identify wear before it becomes a larger problem

4. Reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns

Toyota Servicing Frequently Asked Questions
Toyota Vehicle Servicing
If you are enquiring about your Toyota vehicle then you have come to the right place. We are specialists in servicing, repairing and maintenancing Toyota vehicles.
We can carry out a whole range of services from gearbox repairs, engine rebuilds and not just the big stuff we can also carry out smaller repair work from electric window faults and seat problems. There is literally no job too small or too big for us.
We can get your Toyota vehicle back out on the road in no time at all at the best prices.
What Is Included in a Toyota Service?
Your Toyota’s servicing requirements depend on its model, engine, age, mileage and maintenance history. We check what is due rather than applying the same service package to every Toyota.
Depending on the service required, our technicians may inspect or replace:
1. Engine oil and oil filter
2. Air filter
3. Cabin or pollen filter
4. Fuel filter where applicable
5. Spark plugs on applicable petrol engines
6. Brake fluid
7. Engine coolant
8. Hybrid-system coolant where applicable
9. Brake pads and discs
10. Tyres and tyre pressures
11. Steering and suspension components
12. Exterior lights
13. Windscreen wipers and washers
14. Battery and charging system
15. Auxiliary drive belts
16. Visible fluid leaks
We can also complete a diagnostic system scan, reset the service indicator and road-test the vehicle where appropriate.
The right maintenance for your Toyota
Additional maintenance may be required for:
1. Timing belt or timing chain
2. Manual gearbox
3. Conventional automatic transmission
4. CVT or hybrid e-CVT system
5. Spark plugs
6. Brake fluid
7. Engine coolant
8. Hybrid cooling system
9. Differential or four-wheel-drive system
10. Diesel particulate filter
11. AdBlue system on applicable diesel models
12. Air-conditioning system
Not every Toyota uses the same engine, gearbox or timing system. The correct maintenance requirements should be checked using the registration and vehicle information.
After inspecting your Toyota, we will explain any problems we find. We will not carry out additional repairs without discussing the work and cost with you first.

Toyota hybrid servicing
Toyota hybrid vehicles still require regular maintenance. Although regenerative braking and the hybrid powertrain can change how certain components wear, the vehicle’s brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, fluids and cooling systems still require inspection.
Depending on the Toyota and available workshop capability, hybrid-related checks may include:
1. Checking the dashboard for hybrid-system warnings
2. Diagnostic scanning of supported control systems
3. Checking the 12-volt battery
4. Inspecting visible hybrid cooling components
5. Checking applicable coolant levels
6. Inspecting brakes, tyres and suspension
7. Assessing reported performance or starting problems
Toyota automatic, CVT and e-CVT systems
Toyota has used conventional automatic gearboxes, CVTs and hybrid e-CVT systems. These are not all the same type of transmission.
Contact A1 Diagnostics if you notice:
1. Juddering or hesitation
2. Delayed drive engagement
3. Harsh or irregular gear changes
4. Unusual transmission noise
5. Warning messages
6. Reduced performance
7. Fluid leaks
The correct fluid and procedure depend on the transmission fitted. Diagnosis may be required before servicing or repairs are recommended.
Toyota warning lights
A dashboard warning means the vehicle has detected a problem, but it does not automatically identify the component that needs replacing.
A1 Diagnostics can investigate warnings involving:
1. Engine management
2. Hybrid system
3. ABS and brakes
4. Airbags
5. Battery and charging
6. DPF or emissions system
7. Tyre-pressure monitoring
8. Automatic transmission
9. Key and immobiliser system
10. Driver-assistance systems
If a red warning appears or the vehicle becomes unsafe to drive, stop somewhere safe and call us here at A1 Diagnostics for assistance.
