We hope you’ll spend some time with those tips below, stop in to see our team, and let us help you upgrade into a brand new Toyota this summer! Schedule your test drive at Simi Valley Toyota today! Simi Valley Toyota’s Test Drive Tips: Understanding your test drive. The #1 goal of a test drive is to see if the vehicle is a good fit for you and your family. While spending a lot of money on a new vehicle, it’s important to ensure that the vehicle you’re test driving is really the right one and worth the money you’re going to spend. Take your time with the vehicle, go over all of the features, and don’t be pressured into purchasing something you don’t love through and through. Listen to the experts. While your opinion matters most, there is also a time and place to listen to the car experts when it comes to features like comfort, convenience, power, etc. Car reviews can be a great source of information and can offer great insight that you perhaps didn’t notice during your test drive. Drive the vehicle as if you own it. One mistake many new car buyers make is not driving the vehicle on your daily commute. We encourage you to take advantage of this time by driving back roads, busy streets, or highways if they are typically in your daily commute. This will help you get a better feel for how the ride will be once you purchase the vehicle. Don’t let shiny features blind you. Oftentimes, buyers are blinded by specific features or price points. Don’t let this be you. Take all of the features into consideration before making a final decision. It’s a great idea to make a list of features that you’re looking for in a vehicle and check them off as you go.

It’s important to be prepared when out on the road. Whether your car breaks down or you come across another driver in distress, you should always keep an emergency kit in your vehicle just in case. But, what supplies should you stock up on? Well, Simi Valley Toyota has come up with a list of items to keep in your kit that'll help you feel prepared to take on any emergency. Take a look at our suggestions below and hit the road with confidence. Simi Valley Toyota’s Emergency Kit Must Haves: First-aid kit with an assortment of Band-Aids, adhesive tape, gauze pads, aspirin, antiseptic wipes, antiseptic cream or ointment, and anything particular to you or your family, like extra medication or other necessities, like Lactaid or similar. Fire extinguisher, rated for Class B and Class C fires by the National Fire Protection Association or NFPA. The NFPA says Class B fires are those that involve flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and kerosene. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment such as switches, panel boxes, and batteries. These are both dangers in a vehicle! Three reflective warning triangles. While many prepackaged emergency kits contain one warning triangle, you should have three that are placed 50 feet apart to warn oncoming traffic. In a pinch, though, one will do. Tire gauge. You should use the tire gauge in your car’s emergency kit to periodically check the air pressure in your spare tire to make sure that it is road ready. Foam tire sealant is a quick, inexpensive way to repair many flats without changing the tire. Jumper cables that are at least 10 feet in length and coated with at least 8-gauge rubber. Flashlight and extra batteries. The flashlight should be waterproof. Duct tape, the universal fix-it solution. You should carry at least 10 feet of it. Tow strap or tow rope that is strong enough to tow 6,000 pounds. Multipurpose utility tool, like a Leatherman or a Swiss Army knife. Rain poncho. Even an inexpensive plastic poncho is better than nothing when changing a tire in the pouring rain. Drinking water. Never a bad idea to stay hydrated!
