Wondering how to squeeze more miles out of every charge? A few small habits can make a real difference in how far your Toyota EV goes on a single charge. The team at Keyes Toyota shares these practical tips. more Charge Your Toyota EV Smarter The Toyota bZ offers an EPA-estimated total driving range of up to 288 miles* on AWD models, and a Level 2 home charger can refill the battery in about seven hours. DC fast charging is great for road trips, but topping off to 100 percent every day strains the battery and can cause it to lose capacity. For most trips, it’s better to only charge to 80 percent. Let Regenerative Braking Do the Work Every Toyota bZ comes standard with regenerative braking paddle switches on the steering wheel, letting drivers adjust how much energy gets recaptured with each press. Using stronger regen in stop-and-go traffic sends more energy back to the battery instead of losing it to the brakes. Easing off the accelerator earlier and letting regen slow the vehicle naturally adds up over a full day of driving. Watch Your Climate Control and Tires Heating and cooling the cabin draws directly from the battery, so preconditioning while still plugged in gets the cabin comfortable without diminishing your range. Underinflated tires create more rolling resistance, which means the motor works harder to maintain speed. A quick tire pressure check once a month protects both your range and tire wear. Get More Toyota EV Tips from Keyes Toyota Small changes in how you charge, brake, and prep your cabin can add real miles to your Toyota EV range over time. Try one or two of these habits this week and see how they change your daily driving. If you have questions about getting the most from your EV, stop by Keyes Toyota to speak with our expert team. * Use for comparison purposes only. Actual range may decrease significantly depending on speed, outside temperature, accessory use, how/where you drive, charging habits, and other factors. Battery capacity also decreases with time and use, which will reduce range.

Ask anyone on our sales floor and they will tell you the Toyota app has quietly become one of the most useful tools we hand new owners the keys to. It revolutionizes your ownership experience with an incredible level of convenience and connectivity. The team at Keyes Toyota showcases three features people love the most about the Toyota app. more Remote Connect One of the biggest things drivers appreciate about the Toyota app is its wide range of remote connectivity features. Forgot whether you locked up before heading into work? Pull out your phone, check the status, and lock it remotely if needed. You can also start the engine on a hot afternoon before you walk outside or find exactly where you parked in a crowded lot. Digital Key We love the Toyota Digital Key technology for families sharing one vehicle. Instead of tracking down a spare key fob, up to five drivers can carry access right on their phone, which comes in handy when a teenager needs the car for the weekend. Share Digital Key and revoke it whenever you want, with no awkward key handoffs required. Service Connect Vehicle maintenance is easy to put off, and the Service Connect side of the Toyota app helps take the guesswork out of it. Your Toyota model keeps an eye on its own health and sends a real update when something actually needs attention, not just at a generic mileage reminder. It is one of the simplest ways to stay ahead of small issues before they turn into bigger repairs. Explore the Toyota App with Keyes Toyota The Toyota app is designed to make ownership feel a little easier, and once you get used to having it, it’s hard to imagine going without. If you would like a hands-on walkthrough, our team is always happy to sit down with you. Stop by Keyes Toyota and we will get you set up in a few minutes.

If you're shopping for a new or pre-owned Toyota vehicle, the toughest question is usually not which model fits your life—it's which payment fits your budget. The 20/4/10 rule is a simple framework that helps you answer that question before you ever sit down with one of our Toyota financing experts. Keyes Toyota explains how it works and why it's worth using when you start mapping out your auto budget. more What the 20/4/10 Rule Actually Means The rule has three parts, and each one targets a common pitfall. The numbers offer a guideline you want to aim for with your loan parameters: 20 percent goes toward your down payment 4 years is the targeted length for your loan 10 percent is the cap on your monthly transportation costs, including things like insurance, fuel, and maintenance Why Each Number Matters A 20 percent down payment builds instant equity and helps you avoid being upside down on the loan, where you owe more than the vehicle is worth. A four-year term keeps total interest in check, even if a longer loan might tempt you with a lower monthly payment. Finally, keeping all transportation costs under 10 percent of your gross monthly income leaves room in your budget for everything else life throws at you. A Quick Example Say you earn $6,000 a month before taxes. Taking ten percent gives you a $600 ceiling for the car payment, insurance, gas, and upkeep combined. If insurance and fuel run $250, your target car payment lands around $350 after your 20 percent down payment. From there, you can work backward to find the right Toyota model and trim. Start Your Toyota Financing Journey in Van Nuys, CA The 20/4/10 rule gives you a clear, honest starting point for figuring out what you can comfortably afford. Run the numbers before you visit, and you'll walk in knowing exactly where you stand. Stop by Keyes Toyota or apply online, and our finance team will help you find a model that fits both your driveway and your budget.

Tax season has a way of sneaking up on you, but when that refund hits your account, it's worth thinking about what comes next. At our Toyota dealership in Van Nuys, CA, your refund can do more than sit in your checking account. Here are a few ways to put it toward something that moves with you every day at Keyes Toyota. more Put It Toward a New or Pre-Owned Model A solid down payment can go a long way toward your next vehicle’s financing. Whether you've had your eye on the all-new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, a dependable Toyota Camry, or a rugged Toyota Tacoma, applying your tax return upfront means lower payments and better financing terms. It can also help out with a pre-owned vehicle, including our Toyota Certified Pre-Owned models. Lease With a Stronger Start Leasing is already one of the most flexible ways to drive a new Toyota vehicle, and your tax return can cover most or all of your upfront lease costs. That means getting into something like a Toyota Corolla Cross or a Toyota Highlander Hybrid with very little out of pocket on day one. Pay Down or Refinance Your Current Loan If you already own a Toyota model, your refund can work just as hard. Applying it to your loan balance reduces what you owe and saves you on interest over time. And if your credit score has improved since you financed, refinancing could lower your monthly payment even more.

Your refund is a great opportunity to knock out an oil change, tire rotation, brake service, or that repair you've been postponing. Make Your Tax Refund Go Further at Our Toyota Dealership Toyota vehicles are built to last, and investing in one, whether through a purchase, lease, or service visit, is one of the smartest ways to spend your tax refund. The team at Keyes Toyota is here to help you find the right option. Stop by and let's put your refund to work.
