Winter’s here—the season for saving money and staying warm. But cold weather can be brutal to your car’s health. If you visit your dealer for some routine maintenance, you’ll cruise with confidence when the sun comes out. Here are some things your expert dealer mechanic will check: Does your car need a bath? Rock salt build-up will corrode your car’s paint job, wheel wells, etc. Your dealer’s wash service uses mild detergent that’s specially selected for your car, guaranteeing that brand-new look. Your battery and fluids. Make sure your battery is strong against the chill, and you have enough wiper fluid to wash away debris. Wipers. Now that you’re using your wipers more than ever, make sure those blades are in top shape. Brakes. Winter driving can be an adventure, so make sure you’re able to stop on a dime. Are your filters clean? Change dirty, moist air filters to maximize your heating efficiency and keep your car smelling fresh. Let your dealer winterize your car now, and when summer comes you’ll have more cash to play with when you hit the open road.

Below is an article that appeared in the Ronald McDonald House Messages of Hope Newsletter from 2010. "Once again, our sincere appreciation goes out to Max and Sandi Paul of Central City Toyota for donating two new vans for our families at Chestnut Street. Van "Sandi" is shown below. The vans enable families to easily get back and forth from the hospital without having to worry about parking, traffic, costs, or navigating an unfamiliar city. Over the past decades, the Paul Family has donated multiple vans to the house, and we thank them for their crucial ongoing support."
