One thing is abundantly clear to anyone who has ever owned a car, and it applies whether that vehicle was a new Toyota, used car, or even a $200 clunker:  you need to keep your car well-maintained if you hope to get to work and back, not break the bank at the gas pump, and ultimately if you wish to keep your investment alive.

That's why car service, auto repair, and general maintenance of any vehicle is tantamount to one's vehicular longevity, and to help you get a better understanding of what's involved in service at Handy Toyota of St. Albans, VT, located at 701 Highgate Road.  What's more we have several ancillary pages that will help you to get a better understanding of whether your vehicle belongs in one of the following service menus:  cars, small trucks and SUVs, or large trucks and SUVs.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the service schedules as per our Toyota-certified and factory-trained auto repair technicians' recommendations.  For more information on anything service related, contact fixed operations direction Joe Luneau by email or by calling us toll-free at (888) 594-1392.

Okay, so you have conceded that service and car repair is necessary - but what exactly needs to be done?

At Handy Toyota of St. Albans, VT we have grouped the majority of the standard, scheduled service and maintenance practices into three sections:  Service A, Service B, and Service C.  You will also notice later that there is a Service D, however this is for big mileage milestones like 55,000 or 105,000 miles and essentially ads some precautionary measures to make sure your Toyota vehicle or other branded car's odometer can roll over the next 50,000 miles.

Here is a brief breakdown of the Handy Toyota scheduled service plans.  Please keep in mind, though, that more service is always available.  Also, these Handy Toyota service plans are based off OEM, Toyota specifications, albeit simplified for the sake of our customers.

Above, we showed you the different recommended service intervals as per the Toyota training each of our talented auto repair technicians received from Toyota University and ASE Certifications, but the question still remains:  how are you, the customer, supposed to know when you need Service A, B, or C?

Fixed operations manager Joe Luneau has thought of this too; below, here is a service schedule that tells you when you need each service interval based on your vehicle's mileage.

While we have many, many customers from northern Vermont and greater Burlington, VT or even upstate New York and Plattsburgh, NY areas, there is still a chunk of the population that uses the Independent and Mom & Pop variety of service station (the Minekes, Jiffy Lubes, and local, non-dealer service stations of the world).  We're not here to discredit the skills of these technicians, however there is a reason why these places seem to be able to cut costs:  they do not have Toyota-trained technicians and genuine Toyota parts with which to work.

That's where Handy Toyota's service department and factory-trained service advisors and technicians come into play.  We have all the certification needed to ensure that no matter what the reason for your visit - from an oil change to full blown car repairs or Toyota tune-ups - we have the skill and more importantly accurate training needed to fix your specific Toyota vehicle's problem.  Why save five bucks on an oil change if you have to return, kill another two hours of your day, and suffer another $20 charge to get the leak fixed?  That just doesn't make sense.  If that doesn't have you sold, maybe this will:  Handy Toyota is a Toyota Signature-certified dealership; to keep Signature status, customer needs have to come first, and this isn't only the Handy Toyota philosophy but also that of Toyota Motors USA.

It's because of our commitment to customer satisfaction and the various questions we've heard in the past that we put this Toyota service menu together for your perusal.  Above, you will find all the information you need for a 5,000 to 150,000 mile intervals and the recommended service initiatives deemed pertinent by Toyota Motors.  We urge you to remember that pricing is not absolute/definitive:  prices can change, and realistically every vehicle's needs vary.  Don't be worried though, as this can work in your favor:  why pay for a tire rotation if you absolutely don't need one, right?

If you have any questions regarding parts and service, contact our parts and service director Joe Luneau by calling toll-free (888) 594-1392 or simply send Joe an email.  You can also request technical support by emailing the webmaster directly, or by trying our Live Chat program during normal business hours.

And finally, on behalf of everyone in the Handy Toyota service department, we thank you for giving us the chance to earn your business!
