Navigating wet and icy roads can be tricky and dangerous, so it's always best to avoid doing so whenever possible. Sometimes it can't be avoided, so we're going to look at ways to navigate the inclement weather that often hits Baltimore when staying home is not an option. Slow Down The most important thing you can do to drive safely in wet or icy conditions is slow down. Driving ten to fifteen miles under the speed limit in bad weather and slowing down more than usual when turning, will help keep you safer on your commute. Driving slower will not only help your car's tires keep traction but will also give you more time to react to unexpected events. more Avoid Rapid Acceleration and Deceleration When accelerating or decelerating, do so carefully. Rapid changes in speed are more likely to lead to skidding or hydroplaning. Brake slowly, and never slam on your brakes. Stay Further Behind Traffic To account for slower braking, stay further behind the vehicle in front of you than normal. This will also help prevent accidents due to the lead car skidding or braking suddenly. Avoid Climbing Hills If possible, try to avoid hilly routes. If you must drive on a hill, do not try to apply extra gas to climb it. Instead, gather your speed before reaching the hill and use that inertia to climb. Once climbing, don't stop on the hill or you risk rolling back down. Reduce your speed once you reach the top. Descend Hills Slowly If you must travel down a wet or icy hill, do so as slowly as possible. Braking on a decline can lock the wheels, even if you have antilock brakes. Do not apply your brakes until necessary, and never turn while braking or accelerating on a wet or icy hill. If your tires begin to slide, ease off your brakes and steer carefully in the direction you want to turn while gently accelerating. Turn On Your Headlights Always turn on your headlights when it is raining or snowing. Not only will this increase your visibility, but it will also make it easier for other vehicles to see you. Ease Off the Gas If You Hydroplane Don't apply the brakes if you find yourself hydroplaning on a wet road. Instead, ease carefully off the gas and steer gently in the direction you want the front of your car to go. Check your Equipment Always check your car's equipment before you drive in inclement weather. Be sure your headlights, taillights, and windshield wipers are in working order and that your brakes are in good condition. Never drive on bald tires, especially in bad weather, considering you need strong traction on slick roads. Wet and icy conditions make driving hazardous, but taking things slowly and paying close attention to your surroundings will help you stay safe.   If you wish to get your vehicle and tires inspected for safety, we have you covered at DARCARS Toyota of Baltimore.

Toyota has a long history of creating top-of-the-line cars built to last, but all vehicles require routine maintenance and occasional repairs to keep them on the road as long as possible. When you need to replace auto parts, it can seem more accessible and less expensive to order them from an aftermarket seller rather than from the dealership. Here at DARCARS Toyota of Baltimore, we are here to give you six reasons why you should stick to buying genuine Toyota parts. Quality Assurance When you buy directly from Toyota, you know you're getting accurate, genuine, high-quality parts. An aftermarket seller might sell you a part that seems like the real deal, but there's no guarantee that it will last as long or keep your vehicle running as smoothly as the components that are specifically designed to fit your car. more Safety Parts made by aftermarket sellers often skimp on safety. Since OEM parts are made for exact Toyota models, you know the part you're buying will work correctly once you get it on the road. Toyota's auto parts also have advanced designs that are optimized to be as safe as possible. Reliability Our parts are guaranteed to do their jobs well and make your vehicle last. Independent manufacturers of car parts are often smaller and newer to the industry than a reputable car brand, so they're more liable to create defective parts or parts that won't be perfectly fitted to your vehicle. A non-genuine component can't ensure that your car runs smoothly and gets you where you need to go. Warranty-Backed Unlike parts from a genuine Toyota manufacturer, aftermarket parts don't always have a warranty. If you buy an aftermarket part and it stops working, you might have just wasted your money and increased the time it will take to get your vehicle back on the road. Ease We keep an extensive supply of replacement parts on hand at DARCARS Toyota of Baltimore. You can order parts online from us directly or contact us and speak to a local expert if you have any questions. We can find exactly what you need without the hassle of going through an aftermarket supplier. Value Installing aftermarket parts that don't come with an official Toyota quality assurance guarantee can bring down the value of your car and make it difficult to resell. If you plan to upgrade to a newer Toyota in the future, it pays to keep your current vehicle in the best condition possible.   Toyota has spent decades perfecting each piece that goes into creating high-quality cars that last a lifetime. If you want a long-lasting, reliable car, it's essential not to settle for second best. Whenever you need a replacement part, genuine Toyota accessories, or if you're interested in making some modifications to your car, truck or SUV, we are just a quick phone call at 410-844-6186 or drive away here in Baltimore, MD. We look forward to serving you soon.

Buying a new car is an exciting process, but it can also be daunting if you have to figure out how to finance it. Fortunately, there are some basics to car financing that will help you get the keys to your new Toyota. Check Your Credit Score The first step you need to take toward financing a car is to check your credit score since this score will determine what kind of loan you can get and how low your interest rate will be. As with financing most things, the better your credit score is, the lower your interest rate will be. If your credit rating is abysmal, you may not qualify for a loan, or if you do, your interest rate will be extremely high. more Plan Your Budget First, we recommend going over your budget carefully to determine how much you can afford each month. This is essential to enjoying the ownership of your new vehicle. When you have a car that aligns well with you financially, you will eliminate stress and buyer's remorse. Lastly, don't forget to factor in other auto costs such as maintenance, insurance, and registration when calculating your budget. Will You Buy or Lease? You have two options when getting a new car. You can buy it through monthly payments, or you can lease it for a term before turning it back in later. When you lease, you'll have to be mindful of how much you drive because if you go over the allotted mileage (usually 36,000 or 48,000 miles) before your term expires, you'll be charged a per-mile fee for every extra mile. However, your monthly payments can be lower on a lease. Leases are usually for three-year terms, at which time you'll need to turn the car back into the dealership. At that point, you can lease a different Toyota, convert your lease to purchase or purchase an additional new or used car.

Research Finance Options If you have good credit, your best finance option, at least initially, maybe through the dealership. However, you should also consult your bank or credit union to get rates to compare. If you go through a third party, be sure to get pre-approved for a loan amount so you know how much you can spend, and bring your pre-approval letter to the dealership with you.   Getting financed for a new car is not difficult, but it does take some effort to ensure you're making the right financial decisions for your unique needs. However, at DARCARS Toyota of Baltimore, our finance team is dedicated to cutting out the stresses of financing a new car. Get in contact with us today to learn about all of the ways we can help!

Winters in Maryland can be brutally cold, and if you don't properly warm your car up, your commute can be downright unbearable. Fortunately, if you have a car garage, you can protect your vehicle from the cold weather; and even if you don't, you can use these tips for keeping your car as warm as possible. Park In a Garage This is the easiest way to keep your car warm when it's bitterly cold outside. A garage is usually a few degrees warmer than outside, which is enough to keep your vehicle warmer than it would be out in the elements. Plus, if it snows or it's cold enough to freeze, you won't have to worry about scraping the ice off your windshield and windows if you've kept it in a garage during the storm. more Cover the Windshield If you can't park your car in a garage or under cover of some sort, the next best option to keep your car warm is to cover the windshield with material that will prevent ice from building up on the glass. When ice accumulates on the windshield, it makes the car's interior colder. Plus, you'll have to scrape off the ice before you can drive anywhere. Use cardboard or cloth, or buy a windshield cover designed for this purpose. Engine Block Heater Most cars already have a built-in engine block heater, but some older models may not. Fortunately, you can get one installed at your service center, which can then help keep your car warm. This device heats the car's coolant, which then causes the engine to stay warm. The block heater comes with a cord that you can plug into a household outlet when it's predicted to be severely cold outside. This will make your car easy to start, too. Oil Pan Heater Another way to keep your car warm in the winter is to keep the engine oil warm. You can purchase an oil pan heater, which is then placed under the oil pan to warm the oil. When you start your car, this warm oil will flow through your engine, which is essential for making sure all your car's parts are well-lubricated during an icy stretch of weather. Electric Blanket If you don't have an engine block heater and don't want to buy an oil pan heater, you can use an electric blanket to keep your engine warm. You can place the blanket directly on the machine or on the car's hood, but be sure to remove it before you start the car. Plug the blanket into a wall socket and set it on high for a few hours.   If you're looking to winterize your car, get in touch with our service center at DARCARS Toyota of Baltimore, where we will make sure your vehicle runs at peak performance all season long.

Toyotas have a reputation of being long-lasting, durable vehicles that you can rely on. If you're in the market for a Toyota, you might be wondering where the best place to start is. Here are a few reasons you should always purchase your Toyota from a local Toyota dealership in Baltimore, MD. A Wider Selection with More Options Buying a car from a private seller might seem at first like you're opening a world of possibility. Unfortunately, the reality is that private sellers and their products are spread out thin across the country. This means you have a much more limited selection. And if you do find a car you like, you might have to go far out of your way to get it. more When you buy from a dealership, however, everything is in one convenient location. Forget about endless scrolling through online marketplaces! Heading to your local dealership means your options are in one place. And, if there is a specific make and model you’re interested in, you're much more likely to find it at a dealership. If the dealership doesn't have your desired vehicle in stock, you can always contact their staff and work directly with them to get one shipped in. You Get Expert Advice The staff at a dealership are used to working with the brand they're selling. They know these cars inside and out and will be able to tell you everything you need to know about the make and model you're interested in. They can also professionally suggest options that work best for your needs, so they can assist no matter the questions you might have during the process.   You won't get that with most private sellers! Also, be wary that the information a private seller gives you regarding your car might not be completely reliable. So, if you're looking for some expert advice you can count on when you're buying your vehicle, you'll want to visit a Toyota dealership. You Have More Time If you're buying your car from an independent seller, you might end up feeling rushed. Even if the vehicle isn't everything you wanted it to be, you might feel pressured to buy fast so that you don't lose out on it. But that means you may not be getting a good quality car and end up regretting your purchase.   If you get your car from a dealership, you can take your time. Most dealerships will also allow you a day or two to think things over before making a final decision. This means if you're on the fence about something, you can spend some time mulling it over without feeling like you're in a rush. Most Dealerships Offer Warranties One of the significant pros of getting your car from a dealership is that it will likely come with a warranty. This is something you won't get with many independent sellers!   Having a warranty on your car can be incredibly helpful for giving you peace of mind. Knowing that if something goes wrong, the dealership has your back, is a comforting thought.   Buying a car is exciting, but it can also be very stressful. When you purchase your next car from a dealership, you're eliminating a lot of that potential stress. So, if you're ready to start searching for your new car, browse the quality cars, trucks, and SUVs available at DARCARS Toyota of Baltimore.
