What Driving in Temple City Does to Your Car

Temple City is flat, compact and has no freeway running through it. Most trips are on Rosemead, Las Tunas Drive and Temple City Boulevard, with a signal every few blocks. That's easy on engines but steady work for brakes.

A lot of the Toyotas and Hondas we see from here have serious mileage on them, and they're worth keeping up. At that stage it's less about oil changes and more about the jobs that come due once. The V6 engines in many older Camrys, Avalons, Highlanders, Accords and Odysseys use a timing belt. We replace it along with the water pump and tensioners, since it's the same labor. Honda CVTs need fresh fluid more often than most owners realize, and old CVT fluid is a common reason they fail early.

Hybrids are a big part of the mix too. Priuses and hybrid Camrys and Accords need the same basic care as any other car, plus attention to the hybrid battery's cooling and the inverter. We handle those here.

FAQ

Questions From Temple City Drivers

What does "MAINT REQD" mean on my Toyota?

It's a mileage counter, not a sensor. It lights up at a set distance since the last reset, usually time for an oil change and a tire rotation. Our Toyota maintenance required light guide explains what's due at each interval.

My Honda shows a code like B12. What does it mean?

The letter is the main service. A is an oil change, and B is oil, filter and a full inspection. Each number adds a job: 1 is a tire rotation and 2 is the air and cabin filters. The Honda Maintenance Minder guide lists every code.

Is a Camry or Accord with 180,000 miles worth fixing?

Usually, yes. A well-kept Toyota or Honda at that mileage often has a lot of life left. We'll give you a straight answer on whether a repair makes sense for that car before you spend the money.
