Stop Driving Distracted
- Did you know on average about NINE people are killed by distracted driving each day. Which makes this a pretty good resolution to make happen. Stop reaching for something, changing your music, checking your phone, taking photos, checking emails/ social media, eating, and yes, putting on makeup or grooming yourself. Just leave this all in the past!
Keep Your Vehicle Clean
- While for some this may be easy, for others keeping our vehicle clean might be a difficult task to stay on top of. But we encourage you to hold yourself accountable and take any trash with you when you exit your vehicle!

Will you hold the vehicle while I make a decision?
- Of course, we will but we like to put this on here to ensure that you ask and don’t lose out on a great new vehicle that you’ve fallen in love with. We encourage our customers to take the time they need, buying a new vehicle is a big investment and we want you to be sure this is the right option for you!
Are there any additional fees?
- We hope it isn’t a shock but when buying a new car, you’ll be paying for more than just the car itself. It’s a good idea to ask what fees you are going to pay and how much they will be. This will cut down on confusion when it’s time for you to sign and drive off the lot with your new Toyota.
What other amenities does the vehicle come with?
- Cars these days come with many gadgets and gizmos and you will want to know what they are before driving off or signing. Why? Well, if the vehicle you’re considering has features that you may not use or want – you probably don’t want to pay for them. Also, on the flip side, if you’re looking for specific features, you’ll want to ask and make sure your new vehicle is equipped with them.
How long is the warranty and what does it cover?
- Your vehicle is an investment and you will need to take care of that investment. Be sure to ask what type of warranty your vehicle comes with and how long it will last. These warranties will help keep some cash in your wallet when it comes to repairs and maintenance.

Winter has arrived, and although we might not have a white Christmas, we’re dealing with earlier sunsets and more challenging road conditions. Here in Simi Valley, CA, it feels like the sun’s been setting earlier and earlier, leading to increased nighttime driving in our community. With that in mind, the condition of your vehicle’s headlights is more crucial than ever. That’s why Simi Valley Toyota has put together a DIY guide on changing your own headlights, empowering drivers to avoid hazardous situations during their December journeys! Explore the guide below, and if it seems a bit more complex than you’re comfortable handling, don’t hesitate to schedule a service appointment at our Toyota Service Center today!
Simi Valley Toyota’s Guide To Replacing A Headlight:
- Pop open your hood and use the provided prop stand or another sturdy object to keep it open.
- Remove the power connector from the back of the headlight. This may require a slight turn or jiggle to get it loose.
- Remove the dust cover from the back of the headlight. This also may require a small twist to get loose.
- Some cars have a clip that holds the bulb in place. Press down on this clip to release the light bulb.
- Grasp the housing of the bulb and pull it out. This step may require a little wiggling to get it loose. Do not pull the bulb by the glass or tug the bulb roughly. This could cause it to break and may result in injury.
- Holding the old bulb and new bulbs by their housings, compare to make sure they match.
- To guarantee your bulb is free of dust and fingerprints, gently wipe it with a pre-moistened alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol on a dust-free cloth.
- Line up the bulb housing with the open socket and insert carefully. Make sure it’s secure.
- Slide the bulb back in place and twist if necessary to make sure it’s locked into its spot.
- Replace the clip (if you have one), dust cover, and power connector.
- Turn on your headlights to ensure the bulb and connection are working.
- Close the hood and give yourself a round of applause!
