5,000 Miles or 6 Months: The San Clemente Commuter Check

Your first major check-in sets the stage for long-term reliability. During this visit to our San Juan Capistrano service center, our technicians focus on the essentials:

• Tire Rotation: Essential for even wear, especially if you regularly navigate winding coastal roads.
• Fluid Inspection: We check and top off all vital fluids to keep your engine running cool during hot Southern California summers.
• Wiper Blade Check: Clear visibility is a core component of driving safely.
• Brake Inspection: We visually inspect brake pads and rotors.

10,000 Miles or 12 Months: Fresh Oil for Dana Point Adventures

At the one-year mark, your truck needs fresh lubrication to maintain peak engine efficiency.

• Synthetic Oil Change: Fresh oil protects internal engine components from heat and friction.
• Oil Filter Replacement: A new filter prevents debris from circulating through your engine block. We rely on Genuine Toyota Parts to provide an exact fit.
• Standard 5K Services: We repeat the tire rotation and comprehensive fluid checks.

15,000 Miles or 18 Months: Breathe Easy in Rancho Mission Viejo

Clean air is just as necessary for your truck as it is for you. This interval focuses on air quality and deeper safety checks.

• Cabin Air Filter Replacement: Keep the dust from the trails near Mission San Juan Capistrano out of your interior.
• Chassis Lubrication: We lubricate the propeller shaft to ensure a smooth, quiet ride.
• Deep Brake Inspection: Because peace of mind comes standard, we measure brake pad thickness and check the brake lines for signs of wear.

30,000 Miles or 36 Months: The Comprehensive Ladera Ranch Service

This milestone requires a comprehensive service visit. Our certified technicians examine your vehicle from bumper to bumper, backed by over 85 years of Toyota innovation.

• Engine Air Filter Replacement: Maximizes airflow to the engine for optimal combustion and horsepower.
• Fuel System Inspection: We examine fuel lines and connections to ensure optimal fuel delivery and efficiency.
