Stop driving when it’s safe and have the vehicle inspected immediately. At Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston our rapid-response diagnostics determine if the cause is an ignition component, fuel delivery issue, or sensor failure. Fast, accurate repairs reduce the risk of severe engine or emissions damage and will often be less costly than delayed fixes. We use OEM parts and certified Toyota technicians to restore performance and protect emissions systems; warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid. Ask about service financing and available service specials when you call, and schedule service online for same-day or next-day appointments.
