The entire service experience at Markquart Toyota is designed to be as smooth and customer-friendly as possible, and that starts with our Lanes Crew. The lanes crew works out of our drive-in service lanes to make sure your whole visit is as efficient as possible.

Our service process is simple:

1. When you arrive for service, to the right of our main entrance, you drive directly into our service lanes. A member of our lanes crew will greet you with a smile and show you where to park.
2. Then, the lanes crew will introduce you to your Service Advisor to discuss your needs for the visit.
3. After you meet with your advisor, you will be shown to our comfortable lounges while you wait. If your visit takes longer, our friendly shuttle service can drive you to work or home.
4. Behind the scenes, our lanes crew will ensure your vehicle is serviced and washed.
5. Once maintenance is complete, you will consult with your Service Advisor once more to discuss the health of your vehicle and any other maintenance you should consider.
6. After you finish meeting with your advisor, a Lanes Crew member will pull your car up close, and walk you out.

Available In Select RAV4 Inventory

Whether you have to navigate uneven roads or harsh weather conditions, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 with Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD will do the hard work for you can focus on the road ahead. This AWD system independently distributes torque to the right and left rear wheels to match driving conditions, which drastically improves performance on snowy roads.

This system also features disconnect mechanisms that incorporate the worlds-first ratchet-type dog clutches on both the front and rear wheel shafts. These clutches are in place to prevent drive system rotations that transmit force when in 2WD mode. Which significantly improves fuel efficiency and reduces energy loss. The added AWD Integrated Management (AIM) harmonizes engine, transmission, and braking for stability regardless of road conditions.

Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD allows the driver to steer the vehicle exactly as intended, which is just one of the many futuristic features of the new RAV4. In addition to the capability, the 2020 RAV4 brings convenient features like Apple CarPlay, heated seats, and Toyota Safety Sense 2.0. You can even choose between three driving modes for optimized performance based on your terrain.

Visit the team at Markquart Toyota near Eau Claire to test-drive a 2020 RAV4 with Dynamic AWD and experience the capability for yourself.

Wisconsin winters are tough on you and your vehicle. Schedule an appointment with the team at Markquart Toyota and let us make sure your car is prepared to handle it all. Keep reading for some rules of thumb when winterizing your car, truck, or SUV!

Tires & Tire Pressure

When the temperature drops, you will likely see the low tire light alert on your dash. Keep an eye on this, and always have a tire pressure gauge in your glovebox. Toyota may also give you a tire-specific low-pressure warning. Tires can be filled at most local gas stations, or the team at Markquart can help during your appointment.

Wear and tear occur on your tires naturally all year round, making sure your tires have appropriate tread will help limit slipping on icy roads. Let our Toyota Certified Technicians check your tires to make sure that you can accelerate and stop appropriately through the winter months.

Coolant

The coolant in your engine is what makes you able to defrost your frosty windshield and heat the interior of your vehicle. Without regular coolant maintenance and changes, your car can overheat, or you can be left stranded without heat. Let the team at Markquart Check your coolant, so you’re safe and warm.

Wipers & Wiper Fluid

Visibility is everything, especially when you are on the road. As the weather changes and the arctic-like temperatures appear, make sure your wiper fluid is winter-rated to keep up.

If you are starting to get streaks across your windshield or noticing a squeaking sound when using your wiper blades, that means it is time for a new pair. The team at Markquart Toyota is happy to find you the best blades for your vehicle and install them during your service appointment.

Battery

When your vehicle is exposed to extreme temperatures, the wear and tear on your battery increase. If you begin to notice a clicking sound or a delayed start time when you turn on your car, you may need a new battery or a recharge on your current battery. Preventative maintenance with the team at Markquart will keep your Toyota starting without hesitation all winter long.

Let the knowledgeable team a Markquart Toyota service your vehicle, and make sure you are all set going into the winter months.
