Toyota of Dothan Has the Right Fit Accessories for Your Vehicle

If you look around the streets while you’re traveling, you can’t help but notice how crossover SUVs are dominating the roads. When you have a family to haul around or lots of cargo, you need something larger than a car, but you don’t want to break the bank each time you head to the pump. Fuel efficiency is just one reason why crossovers have become more popular than full-sized body-on-frame SUVs. Below we discuss the many benefits of owning a crossover SUV. Better Safety Than Cars Safety is always a concern when you buy a vehicle, especially when you have family. Generally speaking, SUVs are safer than cars when you get into a collision, no matter what kind of standard safety equipment is aboard. The reason that passengers will be safer is because of the bigger size than small cars, which makes SUVs better able to withstand an impact. SUVs and Crossovers Tow Better Than a Car There are many people out there that have hobbies involving large items, like boats, fishing, motorcycles, ATVs, fishing and more.  These pastimes often require towing. While it is possible to add a towing kit to a car, it will not be nearly as efficient as with an SUV. Many crossovers even come equipped with towing capability and trailer sway control. Go Off-Road in a Crossover If you like adventure, it is not recommended that you go off-road in a car. SUVs are better at off-roading because of their higher ground clearance and better transmissions and differentials that are made to perform in off-road situations. Many SUVs and crossovers come with skid plates and other forms of underbody protection, as well as features like low-range gearing and hill descent control.   Stop in to our dealership if you’re interested in a Toyota crossover SUV!

We offer all of the services your tires need to keep in great shape. Take a look at our comprehensive tire care services: Air Pressure Checks The air pressure in your tires can change from day to day. Factors like extreme temperatures and various road conditions can deplete the amount of air pressure your tires have. Without the right air pressure, your tires will not perform as expected. You also run the risk of damaging your tires and wearing them out prematurely. Our tire experts can check the air pressure in all four of your tires during routine inspections. We also encourage car owners to keep a tire gauge handy and check tires on a weekly basis. We can inflate your tires to the proper psi and check your tires for signs of damage or excessive wear and tear. Wheel Balancing and Alignment When your wheels are not properly balanced or aligned, you’ll start wearing your tires down and out quickly. Tires should be regularly rotated for even wear. Our Toyota technicians can also balance your wheels and check the alignment for safer driving. With properly balanced and aligned wheels, you can expect a higher performance and safer driving on the road.
