Do you have a stubborn sticker on your vehicle that you've been meaning to get rid of? Unfortunately, it's not as simple as just peeling it off (usually). Stickers require a little more elbow grease to remove from your car, especially if it's on the paint - you don't want to damage your vehicle's paint job and end up in the body shop. Toyota of Clermont is here with 5 quick car care tips to help you remove pesky stickers and leave your car looking like-new! Toyota of Clermont can help you remove stubborn stickers Tip #1: Try heat Did you know that using a hair dryer can actually make a sticker a lot easier to remove? Plug your hair dryer into an extension cord and bring it out to your vehicle. You'll want to hold it close to the sticker for about a minute; this will help melt the adhesive and make it softer so it's easier to peel. Pull up a corner of the sticker and from there, peel. Our Clermont car care techs recommend using a rubber spatula to help peel the entire sticker off of the paint. Tip #2: Try cold On the other hand, extreme cold can also help you get rid of stubborn sticker on your Clermont Toyota. Hold an ice cube on the sticker for a minute or two; then, choose a corner and get to work. This method may require you to use a credit card or a razor blade, so it's best reserved for stickers on glass. You never want to use a razor blade on any painted surface of your vehicle - it can do major damage to the paint. If you're using a razor blade on glass, our Clermont car care techs recommend you choose a dull one and hold it at an angle to avoid any scratches. Tip #3: Try Goo Gone The whole purpose of Goo Gone is to remove stubborn stickiness, so it's a great way to get a sticker off of your car. Pour it over the sticker and let it sit for a few minutes, then start to peel. You can use more Goo Gone to remove any residue left on your vehicle. Tip #4: Rubbing alcohol Rubbing alcohol will actually break up the adhesive on the back of the sticker and make it easier to remove (and will also get rid of any residue left on your Clermont Toyota). Soak the sticker with alcohol, let it sit, and then peel. Tip #5: White vinegar White vinegar offers similar results to rubbing alcohol but without the chemicals. If you want to go this more natural route, you should soak a sponge in white vinegar and hold it over the sticker for 60-90 seconds before starting to peel. Let our car care experts help you out! And a word to the wise - if you put more stickers on your vehicle, our car care experts recommend that you only place them on glass. It's easier to remove them from this surface, and you won't damage your car's paint. Have questions? Let our car care team help! You can reach us seven days a week at (352) 404-7001, or stop by our service center. We're conveniently located just off the Florida Turnpike at 16851 State Road 50.

Are you considering putting a new Toyota sports car in the driveway? There are a lot of options on the market right now - in fact, you can find two waiting for you at Toyota of Clermont. Both the 2020 Toyota 86 and 2020 Toyota GR Supra are on our lot right now, just waiting for you to get behind the wheel. However, before you sign the dotted line, there are a few questions you should ask yourself to ensure you're getting the perfect drive time solution. Read on! Ask yourself these 4 questions before buying a sports car Question #1: Which sports car will suit your lifestyle? Before you prepare your down payment for a new sports car, you have to ask yourself which one best suits your current lifestyle. If you're going to use it as a purely weekend car for fun only, then you can skip this question. But if it's going to be your day-t0-day driving solution, you have to make sure it fits your life. Do you need a car with a large enough backseat for passengers, or a trunk that's spacious enough to get your groceries home? What about weather - will you need to drive it in snow or ice, and can the car handle it? Make sure you pick something suitable for your needs before you shop our Clermont Toyotas. Question #2: Should you buy modern or classic? Another thing to consider is whether you want a modern sports car - like the Clermont Toyota GR Supra - or you want to shop classic to find a vintage car. If you shop new, you can take advantage of things like warranties, complimentary maintenance, and peace of mind that you have a reliable car. You can also shop right here at Toyota of Clermont. If you shop classic, on the other hand, you'll likely be shopping online and in the classifieds to find your ride. You should also set aside a chunk of your budget for repairs or restoration costs, and you have to decide if you're going to tackle these things by yourself or if you need to find a reliable mechanic to handle it for you. You should also take into consideration that the car might not be ready to drive right away. Question #3: Are you prepared for a rear-wheel-drive car? Most sports cars employ rear-wheel drive for that added get-up-and-go. However, if you're not used to it, it can take a bit of time to adjust your driving habits for safety and efficient performance. Rear-wheel-drive cars offer faster acceleration and sharper steering, so it may take some practice to avoid hitting the gas too hard or oversteering. Be ready to put the time in behind the wheel. Question #4: Where will you get insurance? Sports cars can be more expensive to insure than their conventional sedan, SUV, or truck counterparts. Shop around and find the best premium for your budget BEFORE you head to Toyota of Clermont to shop so you're not caught unawares. Let us get you behind the wheel of the perfect sporty ride today Have more questions or want to get shopping? You can view our sports car inventory online, or call us at (352) 404-7000 for more info!

If social distancing has been teaching us anything, it's taught us to care for others and that we've suddenly found ourselves with more time on our hands. While you may be working from home currently, you're probably finding yourself left with a lot of time throughout the day that you need occupied with something to do. If you've already attempted (and hopefully succeeded) essential car care we've recommended and gave your car a good washing, it's time to try something else. There's never a bad time to get organized and with so much time on your hands it's the perfect time! Follow along with us at Toyota of Clermont as we share with you some tips on organizing your car. Best Tips for Organizing Your Car Start With One Area at a Time The best thing you can do while organizing your car is to not get overwhelmed and start with one area at a time. Your interior space may not seem that expansive, but you'll realize it's more than you thought once you get started. Start by organizing the area around your front seats. Clean out the center console and devise a way to organize all the essential goodies you need easy access to. It also helps to organize your glovebox. You'll need to make sure you have your vehicle registration and insurance information in there along with whatever else you might need. From there, move on to the back seats and eventually the trunk. Get Creative When organizing your car, it helps to get creative with how your store things and the tools you use to do so. Your Clermont Toyota car serves as a second dwelling so don't be afraid to use unconventional organizational items. Try using fabric shoe holders on your front seat headrests to make for a quick organizer in the back seat. Attach seat-side organizers underneath car seats so your kids have easy access to toys during your commute. Make Sure You Have the Essentials Like we said earlier, you should reserve space for important items in your Clermont glovebox like your registration and insurance info. But, what else is essential for your ride? You should always carry an emergency kit somewhere in your car. In the event that you get into an accident, suffer mechanical failure, or something else, you'll need to have certain items to get you out of a sticky situation. You should have a flashlight, jumper cables, first aid supplies, a tire pressure gauge, rain gear, a traffic warning device, and batteries. You should keep this somewhere in your trunk or somewhere you'll easily remember. Organizing your car can be daunting at first, but the more items that find their place the easier it gets. With plenty of spare time on your hands, you've got this! If you need tips or help organizing your ride, chat with us at Toyota of Clermont! Chat with us online or give us a call at (352) 404 7000.

When it comes to your car key, you probably don't put much thought into how you're going to maintain it. Tires, sure - you schedule your rotations and replace them as needed. Oil changes are a part of your car care routine and having your brakes serviced is familiar to you, too. But believe or not, your car key plays a vital function in your ability to hit the road, and Toyota of Orlando is here to tell you a bit more about this essential part as well as teach you how to maintain it. Let's talk a little bit about the history of car keys first. Did you know that the first car key wasn't even introduced until 1949 by Chrysler? Prior to its inception, getting your Orlando Toyota up and running would have been quite the task. You usually had to use a hand crank to get the engine up and running. push a button to activate the starter, and then turn a key to finish out the process. Time-consuming, right? And imagine doing it in bad weather. The introduction of the car key made getting up and running a whole lot simpler. Here are some highlights in its history: Like we said, Chrysler changed the game by introducing the first ignition system that could be put into motion with the single turn of a key. In 1965, the first double-sided key was introduced by Ford (up until then all keys were single-sided, which means they could only be put in the ignition one way). In 1987, the first car with remote keyless entry - the Cadillac Allante - was put on the market. In 1990, Lexus introduced the first laser-cut key to the market in its LS400 model. Laser cut keys increase the security of your vehicle because they're more difficult to make. Special equipment is required to cut them so they're harder to duplicate AND the locks are harder for thieves to pick. And since then, car keys have only continued to evolve. Many of our cars at Toyota of Orlando boast the Smart Key System, which lets you unlock your vehicle with the touch of a finger, and some vehicles even offer remote start capabilities. So how can you maintain your car key and give it a long life of unlocking doors and getting your ride started? Here are a few tips: If you use remote keyless entry, be sure to test your key in the locks periodically to ensure the locks aren't rusting. Replace the battery in your key fob every so often. You shouldn't need to do it often - maybe once every few years - but this way you'll always be up and running. Our Orlando Toyota service center can help you with this task. Always have a spare! You never know when you're going to lose your key or lock it inside of your car. Keep your spare somewhere OTHER than your vehicle, though. Have questions? Come see us - we're open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

Is your car on a routine oil change schedule? It should be - your engine needs a tank full of clean oil in order to stay cool and keep things running without issue. When you don't have enough oil or the oil is too dirty to do its job, you run the risk of big problems (engine overheating, parts breaking, engine seizing up and having to be replaced... you're getting the gist, right?). That's why it's important to know when you're due for an oil change, and our Clermont Toyota service techs are here with a quick checklist for you to run through when you think it's time but you're not sure. 6 signs it's time to schedule a Clermont oil change Sign 1: The oil level isn't in between the two tic marks. When you pull the oil dipstick out of the engine, the oil level should be somewhere between the two tic marks on the stick. If it falls below the bottom tic mark, then you're running low on oil (which means your engine is at risk). If you see this, it's time to either add oil to the system or schedule an oil change at Toyota of Clermont. Sign 2: The oil is dark in color or has flecks of dirt in it. Your motor oil should be tan or caramel in color - that's the standard for clean oil. If it's darker in hue (dark brown or black) or you can see tiny flecks of dirt in it, you need to schedule an oil change. Dark and dirty oil can't properly cool and lubricate your car's engine so you're putting your engine at risk. Sign 3: You have exhaust smoke. It's find to see vapor coming out of your car's exhaust, especially when it's cold out. However, if you see actual smoke coming out of your car's exhaust, it may be because you have a problem with your car's oil. Let our auto service mechanics look under the hood to see what's going on. Sign 4: You can smell oil inside of your Clermont Toyota. Do you smell engine oil inside of your car's cabin? This can signify an oil leak, which can lead to low oil levels pretty quickly. Bring your car in for an oil change and a system inspection to pinpoint and fix the leak. Sign 5: You hear knocking or rumbling sounds inside your engine. Knocking or rumbling noises inside of your car's engine are a bad sign - typically, this means something is loose and knocking around, or metal is touching metal without lubrication (remember, the oil keeps things moving smoothly). Schedule oil change auto service immediately. Sign 6: Your oil change light comes on in your dash. Sign 6 is pretty obvious, but it's surefire indicator that you're due to visit us. If the oil light illuminates in your dash, bring your ride in for a quick car care appointment to get things back on track!

Ah, the Toyota Land Cruiser. Cultural icon, a living legend, a piece of major Toyota history, and current luxury icon. This massive SUV has it all. It can traverse the most uneven terrain, it's perfect for valet service at the fanciest of places, and it looks really cool. Needless to say, the Land Cruiser has a lot to live up to going forward as it's fulfilled many facets of the automotive world throughout its long history. While currently in its J200 generation, and with the recent release of the Land Cruiser Heritage Edition, the Cruiser is primed for a remodel. Recently we've been wowed by redesigns for the Clermont Toyota RAV4, Corolla, Highlander, Supra, and Avalon, but we're definitely ready for more. If you're anxiously waiting on pins and needles for more information on the new Toyota Land Cruiser, don't worry. Toyota of Clermont is here with the latest that you can expect from the 300 Series Land Cruiser. What We Know so far About the 300 Series Land Cruiser The Toyota Land Cruiser has been a mainstay in Toyota's lineup for generations and the J200 Series has been around since 2007, if you can believe it. After 13 years, it's about time for an update! Toyota has seemingly confirmed that a new model Clermont Toyota Land Cruiser will be arriving soon. Here are some of the rumors circulating the inter-webs concerning the new Cruiser: The new Land Cruiser may be receiving several new engine and drivetrain designs. These new options include a rumored 4.8-liter V8 gasoline powered engine and a potential 3.5-liter V6 paired with a hybrid drivetrain. The hybrid engine seems plausible for this model year Land Cruiser as Toyota currently produces that engine and drivetrain combo for the Lexus LS500. All engine options will likely be mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. There is a rumor circulating that there might be a potential Constant Variable Transmission (CVT) transmission option available on the Clermont Toyota Land Cruiser. However, this may not be likely due to Toyota's likelihood of maintaining the off-roading qualities of the traditional Cruiser. It's also likely that Toyota will use 4WD on all trim levels for the 300 Series Land Cruiser. This will ensure that each model will be able to have some off-roading capability. This would be consistent with the J200 Series (most recent model generation). It's obvious that the Toyota Land Cruiser has quite a high price tag (yes, we know). It is the most luxurious Toyota available on the lineup (unless you decide to go with a Lexus), but the high MSRP has barred many Clermont drivers from getting behind the wheel of one. Because of this, Toyota may offer the 300 Series at a lower entry price by including new engineering options. This would bring it into the realm of the Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, and 4Runner when it comes to off-roading accessibility. The new Toyota Land Cruiser will be here soon. Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it's release date is speculated to be sometime in 2021. At Toyota of Clermont, we'll keep you updated with any new information we find!
