Choosing to purchase a certified used Toyota vehicle has many benefits, including a lower price and a guarantee that the vehicle is in excellent condition. When the used vehicle is certified by Toyota, you receive several additional guarantees such as less than 85,000 miles on the odometer and a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle Seal of Approval. Take a look at four reasons you should consider purchasing a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV). Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Undergo Full CARFAX Vehicle History Reports more When you choose a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle, you can trust that the car has been thoroughly reviewed and has gone through a full CARFAX Vehicle History Report. Not only that, but you can also trust your car has no ineligible requirements as a result of the CARFAX report. CARFAX reports check for a variety of factors including airbag deployment, service history, major accidents, various types of damage, warranty information, and length of previous ownership. As a result, you can trust you know everything there is to know about your vehicle and that it all checks out okay. Every TCUV Undergoes a 160-Point Minimum Quality Assurance Inspection Toyota subjects each of its certified used vehicles to a 160-point minimum Quality Assurance Inspection that includes detailing, appearance, and mechanical inspections which must meet certain standards. The inspection also ensures that factory-trained technicians fix any issues and make all repairs before the vehicle is able to be certified. A few of the many points included in this inspection are the inspection of the calipers, lines, hoses, and brakes, ensuring radio speakers do not rattle when the volume is high, and making sure the under-hood fluids are uncontaminated and clear. Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Come with One Year of Roadside Assistance All Toyota Certified Used Vehicles come with one year of Roadside Assistance free of charge. Toyota Roadside Assistance covers many roadside services you may be faced with including getting locked out of your car, towing and fuel delivery, flat tires, and jump-starts.

Roadside Assistance is available every day of the year and 24 hours a day so you can rest easy knowing you'll always be covered!

When your teen gets their driver's license, it's both exciting and terrifying. Your child is growing up, but they're still going to be prone to making poor choices. A safe-driving contract can help them be mindful of the choices they make while behind the wheel. Here, we look at how to create a safe-driving contract for your teen, why it's so important, what elements to include, and how to keep your worries at bay with the knowledge of having a safe-driving teen. Why Safe-Driving Contracts Matter When teens start driving, they are prone to make mistakes. Kids' brains aren't as developed as adults', and when you combine the natural impulsiveness of teens with their relative lack of experience driving, errors can result in potentially devastating accidents. The government tries to mitigate this somewhat by limiting their driving privileges, such as placing curfews on driving hours, but a contract between parent and kid can help, too. more These contracts can help teens stay mindful of the choices they make while driving. They establish clear guidelines for the teen when they drive without your supervision, and your child is more likely to follow those guidelines when they've put their signature on them. A contract also allows for give-and-take. You can develop these guidelines with your teen, so everyone understands what has gone into them. What Your Contract Should Include Some of the rules you place in your contract should be non-negotiable. For example, you should always include a no-phone guideline. Seat-belt rules are also a must-have element. Other agreements can be more flexible and change over time. You might, for example, want to set curfews with guidelines for when it may be acceptable to break them. Many parents include limits on how many passengers their teen can transport. Areas your teen is not allowed to drive in are a good inclusion. As your teen gets older, you can relax certain restrictions and include new privileges. Another thing that's important to include in your contract is the consequences of breaking the agreement. A contract is only effective if it is binding, and consequences ensure that to be the case. Consequences could be the reduction or removal of driving privileges, increased chores around the house, or being grounded. You can include multiple levels of penalties for different kinds of infractions. Breaking Down the Contract Your contract should be very specific and in sections. It should include responsibilities for the parents as well as for the teen driver. It should then outline each infraction and penalties, with space for initials, and it should include the base rules for the driver to follow. There should then be a final summary and signature page. Check out this sample contract from Drive Safely as a guideline for your own. At Fox Toyota of El Paso, we think it's important to help keep your teen safe on the roads. As a dealership, we have a responsibility to protect drivers of all ages, and we hope this article helps you and your family. Image via pixabay.com | Licensed under Pixabay License

You're driving down the road when a rock or other piece of debris suddenly flies up, hits your windshield, and causes a crack or a chip. Now you must decide how to take care of the damage. Whether you have a small ding or a large crack, here's what you need to know about dealing with a cracked windshield. Why Repair or Replace Your Windshield Your windshield does more than just block rain, wind, and snow while you're driving. It's also an important component of your vehicle. In addition to being unsightly, cracks or chips in your windshield are also dangerous. Potholes and freezing water can cause small cracks to spread across the windshield and interfere with your line of sight. Large cracks can also weaken the glass and become a safety issue - this is why many states have laws against driving with large cracks in the windshield. more When to Repair or Replace Having a chip or crack in your windshield doesn't automatically mean you must get the entire windshield replaced. If the chip is smaller than an inch and the crack is less than 6 to 12 inches in length, chances are good you can have them repaired. On the other hand, if the chip or crack is directly in your line of sight, at the edge of the windshield, or you have three or more chips or cracks in your windshield, it's safer to have the windshield replaced. Park Your Vehicle in a Garage Whenever possible, attempt to park your vehicle in a garage until you have a chance to either repair or replace your chipped or cracked windshield. The heat from the sun, the force from rain or wind, and the weight of snow can all cause cracks to get bigger. Parking your vehicle away from the elements will help reduce the stress on the glass, cut down on the effects of temperature changes and the elements, and give you time to take care of the issue. Consider a Temporary Fix If you have a small chip or crack in your windshield and you want to keep it from spreading until you can have it repaired, you can use superglue or clear nail polish. First, clean your windshield using an auto glass cleaner. Next, apply the clear nail polish or superglue in the chip or crack. These everyday items are a temporary solution that can hold the two sides of the crack together and prevent dirt from getting inside the crack until you can have it repaired. Use a Windshield Repair Kit If you're comfortable with a do-it-yourself repair, you can purchase a windshield repair kit from an auto parts store. These kits typically come with an injectable resin that replicates the repair technique used by professionals. Since these kits may not perfectly recreate a professional repair, you might want to use them on cracks or chips that are in an inconspicuous area. If you suddenly find yourself with a crack or chip in your windshield, you now know the steps you need to follow to take care of the problem. Don’t delay repairs, as that may lead to an increase in cost. Fortunately, our friendly service technicians at Fox Toyota of El Paso are available to assist you – call to make an appointment with us today! Image via pixabay.com | Licensed under Pixabay License

Simply plug a compatible smartphone into the standard USB port, and you're connected! From there, you can view smartphone apps on the Highlander's touch screen - you can even access your phone's voice controls by pressing and holding a button on the steering wheel! This newly redesigned Highlander is home to a brand-new infotainment system. It comes standard with an 8-inch touch screen, but you can always upgrade to the giant 12.3-inch version. The Highlander Was Built to Last Like its Toyota brethren, the Highlander promises durability and good resale value. These features alone make it an excellent purchase, but, coupled with all of its other attractions, the Highlander's ownership value is the icing on the cake! No matter what you're after in an SUV, the Highlander delivers the goods. This Toyota will have you cruising around in style with its high-end cabin materials, smart safety gear, and rich smartphone integration features. It even has the speed you crave, thanks to its sporty V-6 engine and responsive transmission. Stop by Fox Toyota of El Paso today for a test drive so you can experience the fun in person!
