Take not of larger Clermont Toyota vehicles on the road. During bad weather conditions, larger vehicles are at especially higher risk due to their heavy weight, higher center of gravity, and larger blind spots.

Do you know what engine size your ride is currently rocking? If you don't it's no big deal - most drivers aren't really aware of what's going on under the hood. Unless you're an auto enthusiast or worried about aspects of performance like off-roading or towing, engine size probably isn't a big concern of yours and isn't high up on your list of requirements for a new car. However, it's definitely something to take into consideration when car shopping! Toyota of Clermont has taken the time to break down the basics of engine size so you can shop with confidence next time you hit our lot. Which engine size best suits your needs? Before you can really shop for a particular engine size, you need to know the basics, and that includes the common terminology associated with engines. Here are the main three terms you're likely to hear: Horsepower: Horsepower is really just how much power the car produces. For example, our 2019 Toyota Camry gets up to 301 horsepower, depending on which engine size you choose. Cylinders: Cylinders is basically how many cylinders the engine has. For example, our Clermont Toyotas range - you can choose options like 4-cylinder, V6 (6-cylinder), or V8 (8-cylinder). Displacement: Displacement is measured in liters and is basically how much internal space the engine has. You'll find options like 2.5L, 3.5L, 4.0L. 5.7L, and more at Toyota of Clermont. Hopefully, now you'll feel a little bit more comfortable when thinking about and discussing engine size. But what about actually settling on a size? Here are some helpful hints to help you sort through the options: Smaller engines with less horsepower tend to offer better fuel efficiency so if you want to save on gas, consider a smaller engine under the hood. Larger engines with more horsepower are better for performance-based needs, like towing, hauling, and off-roading. A smaller engine won't be able to cut it, so factor your drive time needs into your shopping. Make sure you carefully consider ALL of the features you want on your ride. Some features only come with specific engine sizes, so you'll need to make sure everything lines up before you sign the dotted line. Cars with smaller engines are usually less expensive so if budgeting is big on your list, shoot for a smaller option. Test drive all of the options at Toyota of Clermont Ready to shop? If you're still feeling a little bit unsure about which engine size is best for you, our product specialists can help. They know our inventory inside and out and can help you choose the right car for your performance needs and drive time preferences. And don't forget your test drive - this can also play a big part in your final decision! You may decide that the smaller, more fuel-efficient engine you thought you wanted just doesn't have the get-up-and-go you need. Conversely, you may find that the bigger, more powerful engine you thought you'd prefer isn't what you want from a day-to-day drive time solution!

You slide into the driver's seat, put the key in the ignition, and turn it... to no avail. Your car won't start, but you have no idea why and no idea what to do next. Toyota of Clermont can help. It's a major inconvenience when your car won't start, but it's not the end of the world. Our Orlando auto service techs are here to give you some of the main reasons your car won't start and also help you figure out what to do when you're stuck in this predicament. Your car won't start... but why? Let's talk why first—why won't your car start? Here are some of the big reasons you may not be able to get the engine going: 1) Your battery is dead. If your battery is dead, there's no way your car is going to get going. How do you know if your battery is dead? If you turn the key and hear silence and notice that your radio and lights won't turn on, you've got a dead battery. If this is the case, call a tow or try to find someone with jumper cables so you can bring your car into our Clermont Toyota service center. 2) Your starter is broken. Your starter is an electrical motor that's connected to the battery; it gets the engine going when you turn your key in the ignition. If it's not working, neither is your engine. A dead giveaway that you're in need of a new starter is that you hear a clicking noise when you turn your key instead of the engine roaring to life. 3) Your fuel filter is clogged. Your fuel filter ensures that clean fuel gets where it needs to go under the hood. If it gets clogged, gasoline won't be able to reach the engine to be utilized! Luckily, this is an easy fix - just bring your car by Toyota of Clermont. 4) Your alternator isn't doing its job. The alternator helps to ensure that your battery is charged which, in turn, means the battery can't get things moving under the hood. If your alternator conks out on you a warning light should come on in the dash to give you an alert. 5) You need new spark plugs. Your spark plugs need to be replaced every 100,000 miles or so; they provide the spark needed to ignite your fuel. When they give out, you're not going anywhere fast. Spark plugs are easy and affordable to replace, so schedule auto service at Toyota of Clermont. Schedule Orlando auto service NOW! So, what should you do when your car won't start? Your best bet is to schedule auto service soon. Even if you can get a jump or get your car to eventually start, chances are the issue will arise again.
