Here's a recent review on Toyota World of Newton:

"Shopping for a Subaru BRZ or Scion FR-S, I first stopped at a Subaru Dealer that had a BRZ on their lot. They would not let me test drive the car and were asking for a premium of 3K to 5K above MSRP. I walked out of the dealership and called Scion World of Newton to see if they had an Scion FR-S that I could test drive. They said yes, and asked when would I like to stop in. Thirty minutes later I walked in to Scion World of Newton and Betsy had the keys on her desk and the car parked outside. We went for a short ride and I bought the car as soon as we got back. Only a few hours later I had traded my car for a fair price and was driving away in my new Scion FR-S. Thank you for a job well done."

Thanks for your feedback!

Maintenance Tip: Coolant Flush

Coolant

Coolant Flush – How Often is Needed?

Real coolant flush entails removing all the fluid that is in the cooling system and replacing it with fresh one. The best method of removing all the fluid is hooking the car to the machine that will remove it while at the same time, it puts in fresh fluid. The coolant flush machine puts in the right amount of fluid.

The machines circulate the fluid in the vehicle cooling system for a number of times. This removes any kind of debris that could have accumulated for a long time. This is the only way that one can consider to have received the service that has been done in the right way.

Refills and Drainage

 Coolant flush is usually confusing to many people as many think that it involves just draining and then refilling cooling system. There are others who assume that it is done by hooking it up to the flush machine and back flushing the system.

The difference between refill or drain and engine coolant flush is big. Draining and refilling is straight forward and has no difficulties while a flush needs one to have a coolant flush kit, draining and refilling just includes the drainage of a radiator and the reservoir.

It is then refilled with the some new fluid.  Before draining and refilling it is important to make arrangements on how the fluid should be drained as the old fluid cannot be poured down a drain or on the street.

Coolant Flushes and Solvents

Clearing contamination in the engine coolant system might be necessary  but  using a flush solvent  or any element  that  is used to clean  the cooling  system  will do more damage than  good. Getting the cooling system flushed using the flushing machine might be the right way but it is important to first ask is coolant flush necessary?

This depends on the reasons that have prompted the car owner to consider it but at times it might not be necessary and the cost can be saved. However there could be reasons why someone feels that it is necessary to have a it done and not just because there is coolant flush coupon that would cater for part of the cost.

If the PH of the cooling fluid is not the right one, there is a need to for flushing. It is also important to do a flush if it is noted that the coolant has been discolored. When carrying out such service the BMW and Toyota coolant flush cost might be different depending on where it is done but it is necessary to use a flush machine.

The advantage of using the flush machine is that there is an assurance that almost all the old coolant will be flushed out. Draining and refilling just removes only 50 to 60 percent of old fluid.

Frequency of Coolant Flushes

When it comes to maintenance of the cooling system that involves coolant flush how often should it be done? This is something that does not need to carry out frequently. There are mechanics who advise their clients to do it every year but it is not necessary and will only increase servicing cost for nothing.

Most of the cars that were built after the early year of 1990s have coolant that can last for at least five years or even longer. For all this period, no maintenance is required. Although this is a good service when there is a necessity to have it done, coolant flushing can be imposed on the customers who do not understand about the time when it should be done by mechanics who want to make extra cash.

The best thing to do after being informed by mechanic that there is a need for coolant flushing is to find out the exact reason why it should be done. Check your car manual; it is about 50,000 miles interval before it is needed for such thorough cleaning service.

Coolant Test Strips

 It is possible to establish if there is a need for coolant flush even without the help of a mechanic. This is done by using by using testing strips that can be bought from most of the stores that sell auto spares. These strips make it possible to determine whether the coolant has the right PH.

By using the test strips one can establish the level of freeze protection and if there is a need for more additives. If it is necessary for such service the coolant flush kit instructions should be followed. Ensure that everything is needed and ready before starting the exercise.

Toyota to offer hybrid version of 2013 Avalon sedan

Avalon

Toyota will offer a hybrid version of its 2013 Avalon midsize sedan rated at 40 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving when it goes on sale late this year.

That’s essentially the same EPA fuel economy rating as Toyota’s slightly smaller Camry hybrid. Like the Camry, the Avalon hybrid combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor and nickel-metal hydride batteries to produce 200 horsepower.

The hybrid system will be able to power the car in all-electric mode as far as a mile at up to 25 m.p.h. The hybrid’s EPA ratings are 40 m.p.g. in the city, 39 on the highway and 40 in combined driving.

The base Avalon will come with a 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and a six-speed automatic transmission. That car will rate 21 m.p.g. in the city, 31 on the highway and 25 m.p.g. in combined driving.

The sleek new 2013 Avalon is lighter and slightly smaller than the current model. It should reach dealerships in late November.

Toyota builds the Avalon in Georgetown, Ky.
