Duane, you rock! Way to show our guests what McGeorge Toyota is all about.
"My husband and I purchased a 2012 Toyota Corolla on 30 May 2012. I was not kidding when I told Duane that this had been the most pleasant experience I have ever had in purchasing a vehicle. I bought a Corolla in 1986 in California, a 2001 Sienna in Georgia and a 2009 Sienna from another dealership in Virginia and this was the first time that I have ever entertained returning the next day to buy another car.I hate sitting across from a salesman and "negotiating" with him and all of the managers. A whole lot of people are doing their research and shopping over the internet and unless you send me an email or text message with an extremely good price, I am not setting foot inside the dealership. Duane responded to my initial email, sent followup emails with no pressuring statements and responded immediately to my phone calls. When we arrived at the dealership he understood that we knew which car we wanted so there was no push of car features or statements that we needed to buy right away. He answered all our questions and gave us the keys to go test drive the car. My husband and I were so grateful to be able to drive the Corolla without a salesman distracting us. After the test drive we went upstairs to the extremely comfortable waiting room to discuss between ourselves whether we wished to complete the purchase. No one chased us and no manager showed up to close the deal. All this, and of course the price, made our decision a no-brainer. We weren't even pressured to finish the purchase that day. We agreed upon the price and came back a couple of days later to pay and pick up.Like I said, it was the best car buying experience I have ever had. I could have saved myself a lot of anxiety, stress, and money by emailing Duane years ago." -jmmath01

Kudos to David for earning another repeat customer! Keep up the great work.
"Wow. Absolutely the best buying experience. Within 30 minutes David found the exact car and the price I was hoping to find. At the most I spent an hour at the dealer before driving off the lot in a new car. No games and straight to the point. We plan on continuing doing business with McGeorge and David Lowenhagen." --VoIP.rules

America's Best-Selling Car Tuned Up for 2013 NASCAR Season
Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (TMS) and TRD, U.S.A. (Toyota Racing Development) today formally introduced the new 2013 Toyota Camry that will compete in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) beginning next season at TRD’s Salisbury, N.C. facility. The introduction of the new 2013 Camry for NASCAR competition marked the culmination of an aggressive redesign to provide the 2013 Camry with an updated and more-unique identity. TRD worked together with Calty Design, part of Toyota’s global network design team, to create an on-track Camry that incorporates design elements which give America’s best-selling car its distinct character. “We’re thrilled to finally unveil our new 2013 Camry and we think NASCAR fans will really appreciate that our new on-track Camry looks like the one in their driveways,” said Ed Laukes, TMS vice president of marketing communications and motorsports. “Our 2013 Camry looks more like the production vehicle than ever before, and we hope this helps revitalize the long-standing relationship between fans and manufacturers in NASCAR. Never before have we had a Camry competing in NASCAR that looked so similar to its production counterpart.” A new front grill-area that matches the production model, distinct character lines down the side of the vehicle and an updated rear bumper make the redesigned 2013 Camry stock car more relevant than ever before to its showroom sibling. “We’re extremely proud of the new Camry and the development of the car was truly a unique process,” said Lee White, president and general manager of TRD. “NASCAR and all four manufacturers were brought together to guide the direction of the new cars. We all worked together to put the ‘S’ back in NASCAR -- we all wanted race cars that look more like our stock, production models -- and together we accomplished that. Our new Camry for 2013 is a great looking race car. Everyone at Toyota is eager to have our drivers in a race car that more resembles the street Camry.” For 10 straight years, and 14 of the past 15 years, the Toyota Camry has been the best-selling car in America. Built at Toyota manufacturing facilities in Georgetown, Kentucky and Lafayette, Indiana, the 2012 Toyota Camry was recently named the ‘Best Redesigned Vehicle’ by Kelley Blue Book. In addition, the Camry has been named the ‘Most American Car’ by Cars.com’s American-Made Index for three consecutive years. In an effort to create more distinct and stock vehicles for the race track, NASCAR worked together with the four series manufacturers to determine what areas were either ‘locked in’ or ‘open’ for unique design. NASCAR also allowed for the exchange of glass for solid body pieces. “When everyone at Toyota first saw the design of the 2013 Camry, the first reaction was, ‘They’re actually going to let you race a car that looks like that?’,” said Andy Graves, TRD’s vice president of chassis engineering. “That just demonstrates how excited everyone was about the new design of the Camry stock car.” The new 2013 Toyota Camry will make its NASCAR Sprint Cup Series debut at Daytona International Speedway’s ‘Speedweeks’ in February.

Check out these three five-star reviews! Keep up the great work, team.
"I was under the gun to buy a new car after being in a accident that totalled my 4Runner. I knew I wanted another Toyota, did my research, found a good price (elsewhere) and asked mcGeorge by e-mail if they would match the price. I got a very prompt response from Chris and McGeorge beat the price I was quoted elsewhere. Chris's response time definitely helped the sale. Other dealerships that called me back the next day were just too late. Overall, a very pleasant new car buying experience. Thanks to Chris, Betty and the whole team at McGeorge Toyota." --Irene

Another great review from a happy McGeorge customer! Way to go, Duane.
"My husband and I had a very good experience when buying our new 2012 Camry from McGeorge Toyota. Duane Bookheimer sent information to us via the internet, which helped us select the type of car we wanted. When we made a decision, Duane oversaw everything and made the sale go smoothly. He also was very patient and helpful when explaining all of the "bells and whistles" to us." --Jeanne B. Wine

Many thanks to Carol, the author of this five-star review!
"David Lowenhagen immediately responded, and an excellent e-mail discussion ensued on the next morning. He listened, researched, and responded helpfully and thoughtfully. He found that what we were looking for was possibly set to arrive in two or three weeks but invited us to test-drive a similar model on the lot. We made an appointment with him for that Friday. The car we test-drove was a pleasure to drive and to sit in, and we liked its looks, as well. David found that the car we'd discussed in our e-mail conversation had begun its assembly even as we were sitting there! He told us all the costs, savings, and rebates available--no arm twisting and excellent pricing." -- Carol
Keep up the great work, Duane! Thanks to the author of this review.
"We worked with Duane Bookheimer in internet sales. We wanted a hard to find base XLE Camry in Cypress Pearl. After not having much luck locally, I contacted McGeorge through their website. Duane sent me a price I was pleased with right off the bat. We drove a little over two hours to pick it up. No hassle and no back end sales tactics when we got there. Paid the quoted price and was very pleased with the experience." -- Gittix

Two more happy McGeorge customers! Way to go, team.
"Garland Willis went to extra lengths to locate and acquire a Prius Plug in that exactly matched my needs. He kept me up to date on status during the few months of search. He made my trip up from Florida to pickup the car a very nice experience. I am very happy with Garland and my new Prius." --mmannari

Maintenance Tip Of The Week: Reduced Visibility Conditions
Driving is always more difficult in reduced-visibility conditions. It’s hard to see your route clearly. Reduced visibility conditions include twilight, darkness, rain, snow, fog, smoke, and bright sunshine. - Use moderation in judging a safe speed. Drive slow enough to maintain a safe stopping distance.
- Don’t slow down so much that you become a risk to other drivers.
- Be aware that in reduced visibility conditions, drivers tend to follow the tail lights of vehicles in front of them.
- If you must pull off of the road, pull as far off of the road as possible, turn off your headlights, take your foot off of the brake pedal, and turn on your hazard lights.
- Make sure you have a pair of sunglasses in your vehicle in case of bright sunlight.

Toyota back on top as world's largest car maker
In a comeback for the ages, Toyota has reclaimed its spot as the world's largest automaker.
Initial sales reports for 2012 so far suggest that the Japanese brand, which was badly hit by natural disasters last year, is now outselling American rival General Motors.
Toyota was the world's largest automaker between 2008 and 2010, but lost its crown to GM after the Japanese earthquake and then flooding in Thailand seriously disrupted its production.
Now though, the brand is back on top, having sold 2.49 million between January and March, compared to 2.28 million by General Motors.
Volkswagen, the world's number three, sold 2.16 million, Bloomberg calculated.
Many observers consider Toyota to be in a better position now than it has been in years -- with global gas prices still high, demand for its fuel-efficient vehicles is soaring, especially for the Prius.
Demand for the model in the U.S. alone is outpacing the prediction of 220,000 vehicles sold in 2012, Toyota said this week, with the Prius comfortably selling more in April than competitors such as the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt combined.
This week it unveiled its first all-electric vehicle, the RAV4 EV, at an electric vehicle show in Los Angeles.
The electrified SUV is a reprise of one of the world's first electric vehicles, the original RAV4 electric, with several new enhancements -- it's been developed with the help of leading electric automaker Tesla, and now features a 100 mile (160km) range and performance equivalent to the gas-powered RAV4.

Another happy customer! Keep up the fantastic work, team.
"Garland never gave up on us as we were checking around at other dealerships.When what we wanted was not on the lot and not scheduled to come in soon, he found what we wanted at another dealership . We got the car we wanted at a very good price. I was already a McGeorge customer as I purchased a Prius in 2006 from them. I love their service department. I have two choices of where to wait downstairs if I want to watch TV and socialize ,upstairs where it is much quieter with computers and phones to use.The services employees are exceptional. I appreciate the ride to find my car and of course the free car washes." - c.h.bick

Toyota unveils first all-electric SUV
Toyota took the wraps off what it’s calling the world’s first all-electric SUV, to be based on the RAV4 with a top range of 100 and minimum six-hour charge time.
The car will be sold initially only in California with a base price of $49,800, and the Japanese car company hopes to sell a relatively modest 2,600 units over the next three years.
Toyota Motor Sales USA executive Bob Carter said the company believes the car will "attract sophisticated early technology adopters, much like the first-generation Prius," Toyota's pioneering hybrid car launched 15 years ago.
"It's all about blending the best of two worlds... The all-new RAV4 EV marries the efficiency of an EV with the versatility of a small SUV -- in fact, it is the only all-electric SUV on the market," he added.
The car, which costs more than twice as much as the gas version of the RAV4 and would have difficulties with out-of-town driving for any distance, may struggle to find a mass appeal.
"It's designed for consumers who prioritize the environment and appreciate performance," said Carter, adding that the new car will go on sale later this summer in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego.
"We look forward to seeing how the market responds," he added, unveiling the car at the 26th annual Electric Vehicle Symposium in Los Angeles.

Check out these two five-star reviews! Great job, team.
"Sean Jones, the salesman, was terreific. He answered all our questions and took alot of time explaining the operation of the vehcile to us. There were no pressure sales and went above and beyond his job description to ensure that we were brought up to speed about the information and operation of our new vehicle. Buying a new vehcile is stressful for anyone, and Sean made the experience pleasurable with as little stress as possible." --Dennisandsondra

Keep up the great work, Duane! Thanks to the author of this review.
"Duane was most helpful in facilitating the sale, getting a great price, including trade in value, and staying on top of the order. There was a problem with the details of the order and he helped make appropriate adjustments. He also was most helpful with the awkward way Toyota handles satellite radio, arranging for a discount and someone to come to the dealership to do the installation." --Car Driver

Many thanks to the authors of these incredible reviews! Keep up the wonderful work, team.
"Sean was very helpful, polite, patient and answered all our questions. We asked for direction, he even drove to show us the way. Good job, Sean! You took good care of your customers, they will keep coming back!" --naturalfoodlover

Wow! What a great review. Keep it up, McGeorge Toyota!
"I am actually a repeat McGeorge Toyota customer. This is the 2nd Camry in a row I have purchased from you. My first experience, when I bought my new Camry back in 2005, was so positive, I didn't even consider another dealer when I started looking for a new one. My salesperson was very professional and the finance department was top notch.
Remembering that experience, I decided McGeorge was where I'd find my new Camry. I think my most recent experience was even better than last time.
I started an email dialogue with Chris Mcdonald and he prompty answered every question I posed and provided me with tons of information. Chris was very helpful in finding the model with the options I wanted and worked diligently with the finance department to make it fit into my budget. He was quite knowledgable,friendly,assertive but not pushy, and very professional. You should keep him around. I will be recommending him when asked who's a good salesperson to deal with.
Also, I must tell you Richard Tiffin was the consumate professional and exhibited superior customer service. He made the financing a breeze and was very good at making sure I understood everything that was going on and everything I was signing. He was also very polite and delightful to talk to.
Together those two guys made my experience very positive and exemplified the outstanding level of customer service I have come to expect of McGeorge Toyota. Those guys are definitely doing their jobs the right way. Thats why I always reccommend McGeorge to anyone I talk to about automobiles." --Robset

What a fantastic review! Thank you, Robert and Beverly.
"Sean Jones is a "keeper"! He is an asset to McGeorge. Both he and Richard have the knowledge and experience we were looking for. Our thanks to them both." -- Robert & Beverly Payne
