Maintenance Tips for High Mileage Vehicles in Hempstead, NY
Has your car clocked 80,000 miles on its odometer yet? If so, then that means you’ve got a high-mileage vehicle on your hands. While maintenance is important for every model, it’s especially vital to stay on top of your regular service intervals with cars that are older. Learn how you can do this from our expert technicians at Millennium Toyota!
Oil Changes
Despite being one of the most basic forms of vehicle maintenance, oil changes are also one of the most effective ways of keeping your car in good condition. For a high-mileage vehicle, you’ll want to somewhat increase the frequency at which you seek out this service. This is primarily because the engine of your car will be more prone to experience issues as it ages, especially if you plan on continuing your regular trips to Kennedy Memorial Park. The last thing you want is for engine trouble to arise, as this can sometimes result in damage that’s irreparable in an older vehicle.
Brake and Transmission Fluid
While oil is incredibly important, it isn’t the only liquid that you need to manage in your car. Brake and transmission fluids are both responsible for ensuring that their respective systems function properly. The more time you spend driving on Route 24, the more you’ll use up both of these components as time goes on. Eventually, you may experience your vehicle struggling to slow down and accelerate smoothly. When this occurs, it’s best to come to our Service Department, because we have technicians or are particularly knowledgeable when it comes to working with high-mileage vehicles.
Battery Care
A working car battery is arguably the most vital part of your vehicle’s performance, as it powers every component. Typically, the power cell can last for three to five years, but remember that like most other vehicle parts, it can vary depending on your driving habits. If you’re frequently leaving your vehicle out in frigid temperatures and not driving it often, then there’s a strong chance of the battery dying sooner than you might anticipate. To avoid this, try keeping your vehicle indoors in a warm environment. However, if you start noticing that its headlights are dim at night and the ignition takes longer to activate, then it might be time to visit our Service Department. For further tips on how to maintain your high-mileage vehicle, contact us!
How Can You Tell When a Battery is Failing?
- Both dim headlights and an ignition that's slow to start can indicate a failing car battery.

“ Great customer service! Friendly and helpful! ”
“ I was taken care of right away. Andrea was very helpful, super knowledgeable and just a pleasure. The work was completed in under an hour and I was on my way. Happy to be part of the Toyota family ”
“ The Advisor is great but it took 21/2 hrs to get my car back for a 20 minutes job(recalled on battery holder) ”
“ A little disappointed. Went in for an oil change and tire rotation. They were supposed to set the tire pressure, but they did not. I read the inspection report, and the pressure for each tire was low. Went home and checked the pressure for each one, and they read 31.5. I paid $200, please finish the job. Otherwise, Andrea is really sweet. I know it is cold, and that plays a role with the tires, but it's obvious that it was not done. ”

You better hope that Mauricio woke up on the right side
“ You better hope that Mauricio woke up on the right side of the bed if you want to get decent customer service. Came here to resolve an issue with a car we bought a few days back. Snatched papers from us, told us “it’s your car it’s your problem now”. Spoke to us like we were a children. Horrible customer service. We cannot fathom how he became manager. ”
