Gather information about 1998 Toyota Camrys. Read customer reviews and mechanic websites. Learn about the common problems and maintenance issues specific to a 1998 Camry. Gather maintenance schedules and information about tire sizes, oil types and other fluids that are specifically compatible with a 1998 Camry.
2Inspect the car yourself. Test drive the car and listen for any strange sounds. Make note of any pulling or other motion-related disparities in the movement of the car. If possible, pop the hood and get underneath the car. Check for leaking fluids or broken parts.
3Research any problem you notice. With the information you gathered from the inspection, look through your Chiltons manual, which describes how to fix any mechanical problem you may encounter with your car.
4Consult with a mechanic, or begin the repair yourself, depending on the nature of the repair needed for the car. If you need to seek professional assistance, contact a mechanic that specializes in foreign cars, or better yet, one that specializes in Toyotas. If you are mechanically inclined or are facing a simple repair, you may choose to fix the vehicle yourself. Make sure you observe safety standards if you need to raise the car on jack stands, and use gloves to protect your hands. You can purchase parts for your Camry at most automotive stores or online. Keep your Chiltons manual close by for reference.
