How Often Should You Inspect Your Toyota’s Battery?
For most Toyota vehicles, it is recommended to have your battery inspected at least twice a year, especially before the winter and summer seasons. Extreme temperatures can put additional strain on your battery, so regular checks are crucial to ensure it’s functioning properly. Additionally, if your battery is over three years old, more frequent inspections may be necessary to ensure that it can continue to function properly and as intended by Toyota engineers.
