919-872-1999The Toyota Avalon has long been regarded as Toyota’s top-tier sedan, blending comfort, performance, and exceptional reliability. Introduced in the mid-1990s as Toyota’s answer to the full-size luxury sedan market, the Avalon quickly earned a reputation for smooth highway cruising, spacious interiors, and upscale features at a competitive price. In Raleigh, you’ll find Avalons cruising Glenwood Avenue, making long commutes on I-40, and serving as dependable road trip companions.
With standard V6 power for most of its production run, available hybrid powertrains in later years, and an impressive safety record, the Avalon appeals to drivers seeking both refinement and longevity. Many owners keep them for a decade or more, thanks to their ability to easily surpass 200,000 miles with consistent care.
At Creech Import Repair, we’ve worked on Avalons from their earliest generations through the most recent hybrids. Whether you own a well-loved model from the early 2000s or a sleek current-generation vehicle, we know the common trouble spots, maintenance needs, and repair strategies that keep them running at their best.
