• Checking brakes.
Please check your brakes. Ensure that the brakes are not running thin. You need to replace the damaged drums and rotors regularly

• Check the tires.
Before hitting the road, you need to check the tires. Ensures the tires have enough tread. You can perfectly test the wear of the tire by sticking a penny upside down between the tires.

Check the three key points (air, wear and space). With these points, you need to make sure that the tires are inflated properly. Secondly, check for the signs of wear of the tread. Third, ensure there is a spare tire in hand in case of any unexpected flats.

Light the Toyota up. Make sure all the lights are working properly. The key lights of the Toyota are (brake lights, flashers, trailer lights, headlights, turn signals and the interior lights)

• Take care of the rubber wear.

You need to purchase the blades from the advance auto part, and the Singapore service department is going to install for free. The service department also carries wiper blades which are meant for the summer driving conditions
