Prepare Your Toyota for Summer Travel in Jamaica, NY
Thinking about exploring the U.S. behind the wheel of your Toyota this summer? Here at Hillside Toyota we have a few tips that can make a big difference when it comes to the performance and reliability of your vehicle. Keep reading for all of the details and feel free to contact our Service Department if you have any questions!
Gathering Emergency Supplies
When you’re far away from home or even on a country road and simply far away from the nearest convenience store, having an emergency preparation kit in your vehicle is crucial. The exact items can vary depending on your location and the season, but we always recommend starting with a first aid set, non-perishable snack items, and jumper cables. Now is also a good time to make sure you have a spare tire and are confident in your ability to change a flat if needed. During the warm weather months, it’s also good to have some extra water so you and your passengers can stay hydrated, as well as extra coolant to keep the engine from overheating. Having the phone number for your ToyotaCare Roadside Assistance or other roadside assistance company written down is also a good idea.
Schedule a Routine Maintenance Inspection
Although you can’t prevent everything when it comes to the mechanical elements of your vehicle, there are some common checks that our service technicians can perform that help to minimize the chances. A dead battery is one of the most common problems that can occur, so if you aren’t sure how old the battery is in your RAV4 or Highlander, we suggest stopping by for a quick test. To help ensure that the engine stays protected and running as it should, getting an oil change and fluid top-off is also at the top of our list. We’ll also check the engine air filter to make sure it’s still in good condition. Lastly, a tire rotation or a new set of tires can lower the risk of an unexpected flat and also gives you maximum traction as you log those highway miles.
Find a Service Team You Trust
With convenient service hours and the expertise of certified technicians, we make getting ready for summer driving easy. Even if you’re only planning on taking short weekend trips throughout Long Island, scheduling a quick multi-point inspection now can save time and money in the future. We also have no-appointment-needed Express Maintenance for expedited service on many common checks and replacements. While your vehicle is being worked on, relax in our customer lounge or take our shuttle to run errands. We also have service coupons to help stretch your budget.
Prepare your Toyota for summer travel in Jamaica, NY, with our team here at Hillside Toyota! We look forward to working with you soon and hearing all about your road trip plans.

“ We had an outstanding car-buying experience thanks to Martin Plaza and Sam Marji! From the very beginning, Martin went above and beyond to help us get the perfect car. He was extremely professional, patient, and attentive to all of our needs. He took the time to explain every feature, answered every question without rushing us, and made sure we were confident and comfortable before making any decisions. His dedication to customer service truly stood out. What impressed us even more was that Martin provided the same exceptional service to my brother, who came in two days later and purchased a Toyota. Without us even asking, Martin treated him with the same level of care, respect, and enthusiasm—walking him through the entire process, listening to what he wanted, and making sure he left happy. It’s rare to find a salesperson who delivers that kind of consistent experience, not just once, but multiple times within the same family! We also want to acknowledge Sam Marji, the financial manager, who played a huge role in making everything seamless. Sam made sure all of our paperwork was accurate, complete, and processed correctly. He clearly explained everything we were signing, double-checked details, and ensured there were no surprises. His professionalism, patience, and attention to detail made the final steps of the purchase smooth and stress-free.Together, Martin and Sam created an amazing experience from start to finish. We truly felt taken care of and respected throughout the entire process. We highly recommend both of them to anyone looking for honest, friendly, and exceptional service. We couldn’t be happier with our experience! ”

“ I have purchased cars from multiple dealers over the years and NEVER had this problem. I went to the dealership on Novermber 30 2025 to look at a vehicle. I was serviced by a saleswoman named Siena. I left a 100 cash deposit to hold the vehicle. A few days later I decided to purchase a different vehicle at another dealership. I informed Siena and she informed me they would refund my deposit via check through the mail. To date, I have not received my deposit. It has been over 2 months. I have called the dealership several times and get the run around. This is dishonest and customers should not have to go through this. They did not get a run around when they took my deposit. I am warning others to tread lightly if you decide to go to this dealership. They took my money and seem to have no plans to return it. ”
“ This place will rip you off. They sold me a used car that they knew had problems and then they wouldn't fix it and forced me to either spend a lot of money fixing it or buy a different car. Unfortunately I ended up buying a brand new car and had to pay extra for the used car ”
“ (Translated by Google) Parking is a hassle. I took a friend to look at cars, and when we parked in their parking lot, the cover of my left rearview mirror was stolen. The manager said he'd check the security footage, claim it was their responsibility, and would compensate me. He took down my phone number, but then never contacted me again. What a terrible car dealership! (Original) 停车小心 我带朋友去看车 停在他们停车场 左边倒车镜外壳被偷了 经理说看监控 说是他们责任就陪我 记下我电话 再没下文了 垃圾车行 ”
