One of the hubcaps of my Toyota Camry 2012 came off. Where can I get them replaced other than the dealership which I would guess would be expensive.
Single mom and not very handy with automobiles. Online hubcaps are not expensive but not sure if I would be able to fix them myself. Please advice. |
| online. i assume yours is missing? it's not hard to clip on. a couple of 2 min youtube will do it. |

Thank you!
One of them is missing. You guys are giving my confidence to go ahead and do it myself. I am going to order them online from Amazon. |
Watch and listen carefully when he talks about valve stem - :55 mark. |
You got this!! It’s so easy that my 80-year-old mother has done it several times because she keeps losing them. |
You need to make sure it's in tight otherwise it will come off. |
| Check eBay. And as a mom, you should try to empower yourself with some basic mechanical knowledge. AAA used to offer classes, as do community colleges. Inspect your tires and check pressure at least once a month. This includes your spare tire. How old is your spare? Do you know how to use a Jack and replace a flat tire in an emergency? Do you have a safety kit? LED flares, blanket, water bottles, snacks in case of a mechanical issue. Check your coolant, oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid and power steering fluid periodically. You want to inspect for color and burnt odor. Changing brake fluid every 2 years is money well spent. |
| Hubcaps are easy to put on. Educate yourself, OP. I taught myself auto mechanics/troubleshooting. I've been working on my own vehicles for more than 30 years. I am a 50 yr old grandmother. Women limit themselves, I've noticed. |
