What does it mean to you?

Recognition & Standards of Excellence

Superior Service, Superior Sales
We have some of the most experienced technicians and salespeople in the state. Every one of them is required to maintain their certification and receives regular training. Our Service team has Elite 8 Status. That means they are one of the top 8 dealers in a five-state region.
Our sales staff is trained to ensure our customers receive accurate and superior assistance in selecting the right vehicle for them. Each salesperson is required to be certified within a year of their employment and to maintain their certification. Because of this, three of our salespeople have received special national recognition from Toyota. But the most important measurement is by our customers.
