The Toyota Tercel was Toyota’s entry level North American car during the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. It got great gas mileage in all its forms despite being somewhat spacious with its later models. The Toyota enjoyed a well-deserved reputation for reliability and longevity, and with proper maintenance, the cars would last a long time.

The Tercel was never designed to be a sports car, and while it could be hustled around, the Toyota Tercel’s brakes were never really its best feature. Consequently, it is important to maintain the brakes in the highest condition to ensure that you will have the brakes available when you need them.

The Toyota Tercel’s brakes were a disk and drum combination in most models, although later models had four wheel disks available. We carry the maintenance parts for all of your braking needs. It is important to inspect the brake pads and rotors regularly, and the easiest time to do so is when you change your oil and rotate your tires, since the wheels are off anyway. The life of your brake pads will vary considerably based upon your driving style, so there is not a strictly followed service interval, although brake fluid should be changed and bled at least every two years. If the brake pads are reduced to a third or less of their original thickness, they should be changed. Whenever you change your pads, you should change your rotors or have them machined to ensure a smooth and even mating surface for the pads.
