Toyota Wishes You Happy Holidays and Safe Travels

St Louis Toyota Corolla DealerThe holidays are in full swing and Christmas is just around the corner.  You probably have a trip or two planned to visit family over this holiday season.  Whether you are traveling across the state or just across town, there are some very important safety concerns to keep in mind.  One of these very real concerns includes the danger of drunk drivers.  David Strickland, administrator for the NHTSA comments on the upcoming travel season saying, “Ultimately, personal responsibility is critical to improving roadway safety and we urge all motorists to be responsible this holiday season and never, ever drive drunk.”

The NHTSA isn’t just talking about awareness, they have just kicked off a campaign for this year’s “winter holiday enforcement crackdown.”  Backed by more than $7 million in advertising, the NHTSA hopes to bring a heightened sense of awareness to this very real and tragic issue during the Christmas season in a campaign called “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”  MADD also contributes to this campaign in an effort to encourage everyone who plans to consume alcohol during the holidays to designate a sober driver beforehand.  The NHTSA asks you to remember these important tips before you begin celebrating the holidays:


  • Always plan your evening ahead so you aren’t stuck without a sober driver and tempted to drive after consuming alcohol.
  • If you do find yourself out and impaired, be smart…call a taxi or a family/friend to come get you.
  • Do not get in a vehicle with someone who is drinking and driving.  Contact police if you have a concern about another drunk driver on the roadway.
Before you head out for your holiday travels, make sure your car or truck is safe by getting your routine maintenance scheduled with your local Weiss new and used Toyota service department in St. Louis today. We have great specials for the holiday season.  Merry Christmas from your Toyota service department technicians!

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
