To make sure you’re ready should this type of car accident happen to you, Toyota of Clermont is here with an easy guide on the next steps to take. Hit-and-run car acc id ent tips from Toyota of Clermont Check yourself and your passengers. Injuries from car accidents can be very severe and sometimes life threatening. After the car accident, check yourself for injuries and cognizance. Then check on your passengers and make sure they’re all alright and haven’t sustained any serious injuries. If you or someone in your Clermont Toyota car has sustained serious injuries, call 911 immediately. Move your vehicle out of traffic and onto the road shoulder. If you and your passengers are uninjured or minorly injured, move your Clermont Toyota car off the road and onto a nearby shoulder. This will be easier if the car is still operational, but if it's suffered too much vehicle damage, you’ll have to get out and push. Make sure you do so very carefully to avoid getting hit. Call the police. In the case of a hit-and-run car accident, it’s absolutely necessary to call the police and report the incident. Try to remember as much as you can from the accident. What was the color of the Clermont Toyota vehicle that hit you? The plate numbers? Were there any identifying marks on the vehicle like rust or body damage? What did the driver look like? Gather witnesses. If you’re able to, ask those present during the accident to assist you and the police as witnesses. This can help catch the perpetrator quickly and help with your insurance claim. File a police report. In most car accident cases, a police report is necessary to substantiate your insurance claim. With a hit-and-run accident, a police report is important in the event that the perpetrator is caught so you can press charges and verify your insurance claim. Make sure to ask when the police will follow up with you and who to contact. If you’re injured, go to the doctor or hospital to treat your injuries. Whether your injuries are minor or severe, make sure to visit your doctor or local hospital for treatment. Make sure to get copies of your medical records in the event you decide to seek legal compensation. File a claim with your car insurance company.

Are you excited to collect candy when Halloween finally arrives? Trick or treating is one of the biggest past times for this spooky night and whether you're behind the wheel of your car heading to a scary celebration or hitting the sidewalks to fill up your loot bag, you need to know how to do it safely. Toyota of Clermont is here with 6 tips to keep you and your little monsters safe on All Hallow's Eve! Toyota of Clermont shares trick or treating safety tips Tip #1: Make sure you're visible. Make sure drivers, motorcyclists, and bicyclists can see you and your little ghouls and ghosts! Visibility goes way down when it's dark out, so ensure your costumes all have something light-colored incorporated into them or simply stick some reflective tape on them so drivers and riders can easily spot you and avoid a collision. Tip #2: Teach your kids traffic rules. Make sure you teach your little monsters the ins and outs of traffic. They should always cross at crosswalks, look both ways before crossing, stay on the sidewalks, and not run in between cars. Also, ensure that they know they should never depend on a driver to stop and should err on the side of caution when crossing roads. Tip #3: Only trick or treat in a well-lit area. Remember how we said visibility is important? It's a good idea to choose a well-lit neighborhood as your trick or treating destination. Streetlights make everything a lot more visible, including your candy collectors, so your chances of an accident go way down. Plus, it's just safer overall to choose a well-lit spot. Safe driving can go a long way on Halloween night Tip #4: Turn on your headlights. If there was ever a night to employ safe driving practices, Halloween would be it. Make sure your headlights are in working order (our Clermont auto service center can give you a hand if not) and turn them on as soon as dusk falls. Dim lighting makes it difficult for you to see trick or treaters and other pedestrians who are going to be flooding the sidewalks and streets, so give yourself the best visibility possible, especially in suburban and urban areas. Tip #5: Stop engaging in distracted driving. Put away your phone, stop messing with the radio to find that monstrous music, and keep your eyes on the road and your hand on the wheel. Foot traffic is exceptionally high on Halloween night as people trick or treat and go to parties and other spooky celebrations. You need to have your full attention on safe driving so you can avoid pedestrians. Tip #6: Follow traffic rules. Follow the rules of the road! Go the speed limit, use your turn signals to indicate where you're headed, and come to a full stop at stop signs and red lights where you're turning right. You'll want to double check that crosswalks are completely clear before pulling through them and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for any little monsters who may suddenly dart into your path. Have questions about safe driving? Call Toyota of Clermont today. We can also get your headlights on track for All Hallow's Eve at our Clermont auto service center! We're open until 10 pm at (352) 404-7000.

Do you feel like you just don't have the time to schedule simple auto repairs and get your car back in like-new condition? We get it - you're busy and it's time out of your day to get your automotive service and repair needs handled. However, the more you ignore a problem the more likely it is to get bigger and more expensive as time goes on. Toyota of Clermont is here to give you tips about some simple at-home auto repairs that you can take on from your own garage or driveway without too much stress. Let's get started! Toyota of Clermont walks you through easy at home auto repairs #1: Change your tire. Do you know how to get rid of a flat or damaged tire and put a new one on? It's pretty simple as long as you have the tools you need (a spare tire, lug wrench, and jack). Park your car on a flat, solid surface and loosen the lug nuts on the damaged tire. Jack the car up - be sure to put the jack in the correct spot so you don't damage your car - and then remove the lug nuts and pull the bad tire off. Put the new tire on and fasten the lug nuts. Jack your car back down and be sure to tighten the lug nuts one more time before you head out. #2: Swap out your battery. Dead battery? If you can change it at home, you don't have to worry about getting a jump or a tow. You'll want to remove any mounting brackets from the battery and then disconnect the negative cable - use pliers to do this. Next, remove the positive cable and pull the old battery out. Put the new battery in its place and reconnect the positive cable first, followed by the negative cable (use the pliers!). Reinstall mounting brackets and you're ready to hit the road. #3: Change your oil. Is your oil dirty or too low and in need of a change? Grab your tools - you'll need an oil pan, a new oil filter, a wrench, and fresh oil. Turn your car off and let it cool down a little; set the oil pan under the car and loosen the oil plug with the wrench to drain the dirty oil into the pan. Pull out the dirty oil filter and pop the clean one in; then you'll want to put the plug back in and tighten it. Add fresh oil in the engine compartment and then pull out the dipstick to ensure the level is right and you're ready to roll. #4: Install new wiper blades. Think your wiper blades are worse for the wear? Swap them out! Just lift the blades and pull up the tabs - this will release the old blades so you can slide them off the wiper arms. Put the new blades on and push the tabs down to secure them, and you're ready to go, auto repairs complete. Schedule your Clermont Toyota service today!
