A new Toyota purchase is an exciting time. However, there is always a fear for new car owners that something — anything — could go wrong (especially driving around Burleson, Fort Worth, or Alvarado). Warranties do cover plenty of issues down the road, but extra peace of mind is always a good thing. That’s why Toyota has introduced ToyotaCare, which comes standard on all new Toyota purchases and leases.
ToyotaCare isn’t just an additional warranty: it’s coverage and support for your Toyota vehicle wherever you go. If you break down—ToyotaCare is there to look after you and your vehicle. But what exactly is ToyotaCare?
There are a few variants of ToyotaCare coverage and ToyotaCare services, so let’s take a quick look at what you’ll get when you purchase or lease a new Toyota. We’ll also review the extended ToyotaCare option, cost, and more.
What is ToyotaCare?
In essence, ToyotaCare is a maintenance plan that covers your vehicle for two (2) years or 25,000 miles through regularly scheduled maintenance, such as:
- Oil changes
- Fluid level checks and top-offs
- Tire inspection/rotation
- And more.
To keep your vehicle running smoothly and to remove repair headaches, ToyotaCare reminds you to bring your car, truck, or SUV to a local Burleson service center for maintenance. Going the extra mile, ToyotaCare also includes 2 years of roadside assistance with unlimited miles. No matter where you break down, ToyotaCare is there to help you.
Note: The Toyota Mirai fuel cell electric vehicle gets an extra year for a total of three (3) years or 35,000 miles of coverage. Additionally, the Mirai, the bZ4X, the Prius, and the Prius Prime have three (3) years of roadside assistance coverage.
What is ToyotaCare Plus?
ToyotaCare Plus takes the standard two-year or 25,000-mile coverage and ups it to five (5) years or 75,000 miles of coverage from the date of purchase. If you expect to take plenty of weekend trips or several long road trips over the course of owning your new Toyota car, truck, or SUV, this may be the plan for you.
FAQs:
What is the Difference Between ToyotaCare and ToyotaCare Plus?
As mentioned above, ToyotaCare Plus extends your maintenance coverage by three (3) years:
- ToyotaCare = two years of coverage.
- ToyotaCare Plus = five years of coverage.
The additional benefit of ToyotaCare Plus coverage is an extra two (2) years of roadside assistance, meaning you get four (4) years of roadside assistance with unlimited miles when you upgrade to ToyotaCare Plus.
How Much Does ToyotaCare Plus Cost?
With the ToyotaCare Plus coverage comes a slightly higher overall cost, but not by much. For the extra peace of mind and years/miles of coverage, you only pay a few hundred to a little over one thousand dollars more, depending on the model of the vehicle. While this may seem like a hefty expense, it does provide additional coverage for more than double the standard ToyotaCare coverage package. If you’re unsure if ToyotaCare Plus is right for you, ask one of our specialists when you visit our Burleson showroom.
What Does ToyotaCare Cost?
As mentioned earlier, ToyotaCare is a complementary service (aka, free of charge) for all newly purchased and leased Toyota vehicles. You pay nothing extra for the ToyotaCare coverage and peace of mind to maintain your new vehicle. ToyotaCare Plus only costs a bit more, but extends your coverage for an extra three years. Once again, if you plan on driving a lot or don’t want to worry about oil changes and other routine services, it’s a worthwhile option.
