Seniors and Driving

At Weiss Toyota, we value all of our drivers regardless of age, race, gender, etc.  It is important to us that everyone stays safe on the roads and has the tools they need to do so, on a regular basis.  That is why we don’t just write about the latest car you can purchase and what kind of great deals we have to offer.  We like to keep our readers well informed on current events and topics about the automotive industry, but also equipped with useful tools to keep them safe and happy in their new or used car or truck.  We have dedicated this article to senior drivers and highway safety.  With the help of dmv.org, we are providing several driving tips for you.

1. Be cautious or avoid all together nighttime driving.  The glare from others headlights and the reduced visibility can be not only difficult for people with less than perfect vision, but also very stressful which can be a distraction to driving in and of itself.
2. If you are feeling overwhelmed or inadequate to drive on the roads, take a refresher course!  Contact your local senior center or dmv to find out where one is being held and how you can get signed up.
3. Ask a friend or family member to help you learn how to properly use all of the features in your vehicle.

You can also spend some time looking over your manufacturer manual and practicing using the features when you aren’t actually driving down the road.  Toyota’s features are designed for comfort and ease and with a little practice could really add enjoyment and satisfaction to your time in your car.

Contact your certified Toyota St. Louis dealer today and we will be happy to get your car inspected for safety and help you understand your car’s features so you can drive safely to your next destination.

Toyota’s Stance On E15 Fuel

Image
E15 fuel is a source of fuel that is currently catching a lot of heat from people in the automotive industry.  It is a fuel source that consists of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline.  The most common type of gasoline that is currently used is E10.  Supporters of this new fuel source believe it will help lower the cost of gasoline for consumers and it will help people become more independent in the energy category. Experts in the auto industry who do not believe in the benefits of this fuel argue that the added alcohol in the make-up will cause potential corrosion in the engine and through the major components of the vehicle, making the cost of repairs far more substantial than any savings at the pump could offset.  When you add the issues of car warranties being potentially invalid due to the use of fuel that isn’t recommended by the manufacturer of most vehicles, you may find it’s not the best choice for your vehicle. Toyota has commented on the fuel saying, “E15 fuel hasn’t

Social Media Strategy with Toyota Cars

Image
Recently autonews.com interviewed Jack Hollis, the Marketing Vice President of the Toyota Division.  Hollis touched on some important factors of selling Toyota cars in this upcoming year.  One thing is for sure, marketing across all businesses will not be able to overlook the power of social media this year.  It has quickly become a rising star in the world of business and sales and people of all ages are turning to it when shopping for products. Hollis spoke about the big social media outlets and how Toyota will use them to promote their brand.  Specifically, he mentioned Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.  Hollis believes that the “return investment is based upon how you used these all together in a strategic form, not one-by-one on a tactical form.”  In other words, Toyota does not see one of these outlets as more important than another.  They are all very important and should be used together to maximize the benefits our current market has with the availability of social
