But, Toyota wasn't always named Toyota, back in the beginning of its automotive empire, Toyota was originally named Toyoda after the founder's family name. It's emblem wasn't the three ellipses version that is world renowned, but the founder's family name written in Japanese characters inside a circle. The emblem was chosen from a public design competition our of more than 200 entries. This logo was remained until a new design competition in the 1980's changed the logo into the version we know and love today.

Fall Car Maintenance Tip: Listen to your Brakes.

Checking your vehicles brakes should be more than routine, especially during winter. Pay attention when braking to make sure they aren't making any strange noises, such as scraping or grinding, or that the brake pedal doesn't feel spongy or soft when depressed. If either of those issues arise, it van make braking difficult and driving dangerous. 

If your vehicles brake pedal feels spongy or soft it could mean that there is too much air in the brake line and can easily be remedied by bleeding the brakes yourself.

On the other hand, if you hear your brakes making a grinding noise or scarping sound, it could mean that there is some kind of foreign object stuck in them or that the wear indicator is rubbing against the rotor. If you hear any noise that usually means the friction material on your brakes has worn off and the only thing stopping your car is the metal backing plate. If let unchecked, it could damage critical parts of your brakes and make it difficult to stop.  

Before winter hits, if you're experiencing any of the aforementioned issues, be sure to stop by our certified service center and have one of our technicians check your vehicles brakes for you.
