Your car is equipped with an interior air filter just like your home. This "cabin filter" cleans the air that you breathe. It removes pollen, dirt and debris out of the car when the heating or air conditioning is running. Much like your home furnace filter or AC filter the cabin filter requires annual routine maintenance. The filter should be serviced every 12 months or 15,000 miles.#cabinfilter #filter #toyota

There are many different components in your car that can cause abnormal noises. The best thing that you can do is to identify when and where you hear the noises. Is the noise when the car is going fast or slow? Hot or cold? Front or rear? Left or right? is it all of the time or intermittently? If the noise is intermittent try to identify what conditions are present when the noise is there. All of these items will help your mechanic to identify the problematic area.#autorepair #noise

You may have been told by your mechanic that your car should have an "induction system service" also referred to as "throttle body service". This is a valuable service that should be performed every 30,000 miles. Maintaining the induction system and throttle body will remove carbon buildup from the throttle plates and intake. This service will maintain the smooth operation of your vehicle and prevent expensive throttle body failures and running issues. Frank's Servicenter uses BG products to service your induction system.#inductionsystem #throttlebody #bg

Cooling systems on modern vehicles have a much higher demand then in the past. New emissions standards demand vehicles to come to full operating temperature quickly and maintain this temperature with high demands and lean engine operating conditions. The antifreeze should be flushed every four years. Flushing the "coolant" will maintain proper PH levels and prevent scaling and corrosion within the system.#coolantflush #radiatorflush #antifreeze
