This approach protects your vehicle’s performance and resale value and helps avoid short-term fixes that cost more over time. We also make service affordable with financing options and targeted discounts; review our service specials when you schedule service. Choosing dealership service means certified techs, genuine parts, and repairs that preserve warranty coverage.

Common codes for a 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300-series (misfires), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), and various EVAP codes.
