Special APR

noreply@blogger.com (Rick Hendrick Toyota) — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:16:00 +0000

Recently Toyota has introduced an aggressive Special APR program for buyers with challenged credit. Here's an example, lets say my credit would qualify for a 15%-18% rate, I could possibly qualify for a rate as low as 6.9% up to 11% on some vehicles. This could mean lowering what you car payment could have been by over $100 per month!!!!! For more information and details on this new program contact us at 866-479-1115

Mr. Costello,

I know Toyota is having a hard time right now both in the media and on the stock market. However, I have not lost my trust in the company and especially in Rick Hendrick. I have had numerous interactions with your staff and I have always been treated with professionalism and respect. This is what make a great company not just the product that it sells. I currently have a 2007 Rav4 and if I had to do it over again, I would come back in there and buy the same car. It has been the best car I have ever owned and the service provided by your staff has been outstanding. I believe my opinion is held by most people who own Toyota cars. Additionally, I believe the current blip on the radar screen will only make Toyota a stronger company. Regards and continued success.

Mr. Evans

Thank You Mr. Evans ... Tom Costello

Thank you, Toyota!

By Greg Brown, columnist

I am not an employee of Toyota, neither am I an investor. I am simply one of those millions of Americans’ who drive a Toyota, and am red, white and blue proud of it.

I do happen to have social networks in Alabama, Indiana, Texas, Mississippi and Kentucky who benefit from Toyota manufacturing in their states. And though I have no friends in West Virginia, I am sure there are plenty of Americans there, as well, who are proud to build Corollas and Camrys, make good salaries and pay plenty of taxes.

I not only have one Toyota, silver Camry. I have two. One of them is afflicted with the viral accelerator pedal … the deadly pedal on 2.1 million vehicles that has resulted in six (yes, six) accidents. That’s right, I said six … sechs, seis, sei, sest. Whether pronounced in German, Portuguese, Spanish or Italian, the number still denotes a five-fingered hand plus one. Even if you’re an enemy of Toyota, it’s difficult to clap with that.

I still remember where I was when I became a fan of Toyota. It was 1997 and I was tromping around in the desperate terrain of Uganda, negotiating the landscape between Kampala and “The Bush.. Riding on roads that most bicycles could not safely traverse, I saw one Toyota after another, not just surviving, but quite apparently, thriving in the bucking rodeo of Uganda’s twisted roads. How those cars and trucks survived the rising and falling slopes, the dark contorted pot holes, I will never know. I still remember my pained hips, my twisted back and bruised skull, from riding on those roads with 20 other people stuffed in a van. I wrote in a prayer journal one night, that the skeleton of a man was no match for the chassis of a Toyota truck. I asked our Ugandan translator why the only truck I seemed to see in the bush was a Toyota. Revealing the reach of Darwin, he simply said: “Survival of the fittest.”

When I came home, I told my wife that the next car I was going to buy was a Toyota. I have been faithful, and I have not been disappointed. In fact, I am not bothered a bit by this national, knee-jerk reaction. I wish the congressional committee forming to investigate would summon me. I am humored by it. Selfish human that I am, I also calculate that if the skeptics are successful, I will just get a better deal on the next Toyota I buy … a little discount, maybe.

I write this article today, because I am bothered by the media hype surrounding the recent recall. The last TV hype that matched this was two weeks ago, when a weather report from Atlanta zoomed in on snow flakes collecting on the top rail of a bridge, somewhere near Buford. I mourn, not only, for the loss of good sense in the public discourse, but for the financial injury done to good, decent, hard-working people. Like those folks who work for Toyota.

So, I want to say thank you. A hearty thank you. You guys are doing a great job. Keep doing it. All I have done in the last 14 years with my Camrys is take them in for normal service. That’s all. And the service at my Toyota dealership is so professional, so inexpensive, so dependable and so good, I would get my lawnmower and bicycle tuned up there, if I could.

Toyota Customer Comments

noreply@blogger.com (Rick Hendrick Toyota) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:37:00 +0000

Comment: I had a Toyota prior to this purchase and the Jason in the service department is always very Pleasant and helpful. I am always fully explained what needs to be fixed and it is always done in a timely manner. The Service department is why I continue to be a faithful Toyota owner!

Aspects liked the most: The fact that the pricing and how to determine the range I wanted to stay in was kept within the parameters I requested. The 0% APR offered also played a big role!

Aspects that could have been improved: I would have like to see more activities in the children's play area than what was offered as it was a long process and I had a young child with me.

Thank you Amber

Rick Hendrick Toyota Update Regarding Recalls

Nothing is more important to Rick Hendrick Toyota than doing the right thing for our customers -- and restoring their confidence in the safety of our vehicles. We deeply regret the concern that our recalls are causing for our loyal customers, and we are making an all-out effort to develop and implement effective remedies as quickly as we can.

Our staff at the dealership, including sales and service, is well informed about all aspects of the recall and how it may affect our customers and/or their vehicles. Whether you own or are considering owning a Toyota product and have a concern related to the recall please call our dealership, we are here to help. Please also note that many models are unaffected.

Our highest priority is to fix the accelerator pedal problems for our existing customers. We want to reassure our Toyota owners that instances of sticking pedals are rare and generally do not occur suddenly. Toyota is currently in the process of recalling vehicles to remedy the issue of pedal entrapment and we have begun sending instructions to customers about how we will fix their vehicles. Customers who have any questions or have experienced any issues with their accelerator pedals should visit Toyota.com, contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331, or call their local Toyota dealer.

The engineers at Toyota have identified the cause of the problem and are focusing all of their energy and resources on developing and thoroughly testing remedies. The engineers have been working around the clock and we’ve been in direct communication with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) throughout this process.

Toyota has taken the unprecedented step of stopping production to help serve our customers quickly and ensure that all new Toyota vehicles going forward do not experience this problem.
