The Importance of Routine Maintenance near Des Moines, IA
Whether you are a new-car owner or have been on the road for a long time, maintenance is an inseparable part of driving. If your Toyota or other model is in need of routine maintenance, come to Toyota of Des Moines! We aim to provide you with the services you need in a timely manner.
Types of Routine Maintenance
Taking care of your car, truck, or SUV should not be something you do only when you notice a problem while driving around Des Moines. Preventive maintenance is necessary at regular intervals so that you don't experience irreparable damage to the engine or other automotive components. For instance, new oil is needed every 5,000 miles or so to make sure that the powertrain can operate without building up too much heat or friction. You should also have us rotate the tires at the same time to keep each one in a similar condition. Checking the battery routinely is also important, since it can be detrimental to end up with a dead component.
Replacement Parts
Some of the replaceable items on your automobile will need to be swapped out over time, but there are a few that are needed more than others. The windshield wipers are extremely vital to your safety on Grand Avenue, since they clear your field of view. If they have degraded, then you won’t be able to see properly during rain or snowfall. After about a year, you will likely need new ones, though it also depends on how often you use them. The battery under the hood should also be replaced once every two to four years, as the power will drain over time. Finally, the cabin air filter is responsible for cleansing your breathing space while you head to Gray's Lake Park, so it is best to change it out once in a while. Check your Owner’s Manual and chat with our team to learn more.
Our Service Department
Routine should not be an inconvenient part of your driving experience. To make things easier for you, we have a Service Department that is well equipped to deal with various tasks. You are welcome to set up a visit online using the Schedule Appointment form located under the Service tab above. However, you can also simply walk in without doing so if your itinerary is clear. Are you looking for advice regarding an issue your Toyota is experiencing? Then use the Ask a Tech form to get in touch with a professional who can offer some pointers! We can't wait to make your acquaintance at our dealership.

Testimonials
I pulled up in the usual lane for having my car serviced,
“ I pulled up in the usual lane for having my car serviced, and there was a person there who directed me inside where I usually go when my car is being serviced. Then the person at the desk where I checked in told me about how long the oil change and tire rotation would be and I went to the waiting area. They let me know one tire had a leak and they patched it. ”

Really disappointed when something wrong happened and
“ Really disappointed when something wrong happened and nobody want to take responsibility for it. Keep pointing fingers and what tf is going on with the guy that drove me out? Seems like he just tryna kick me out of the dealership as soon as possible. Ridiculous we bought 3 cars here and we paid them too. And the inspection video was never sent to me i dont even know if they really check my car or not ”
My years of loyalty (in purchasing new vehicles and
“ My years of loyalty (in purchasing new vehicles and maintenance services) had no value. I purchased the vehicle sight unseen. It arrived on a Saturday and I took possession on Monday. They gave no price discount when asked. I was originally given a price that included $100 'dealer adjustment' (had nothing to do with my loyalty or history with Toyota of Des Moines). When the purchase agreement was sent to me, it was not included. I had to point out it originally was there and it seemed like Steve was doing me a favor by sending a corrected purchase agreement. ”

“ Toyota of Des Moines is an awesome dealership. Dont like dealing with high pressure sales people and Debby E was one of the best if not best sales person I have ever dealt with no pressure at all. She worked to get me the best deal possible. Definitely 10/10 and would definitely buy from them again. ”
