Tips for your Summer Travels

local Toyota service department St. LouisNow that you have scheduled your appointment with your local Toyota service department St. Louis to get your car ready for the trip, and you know what you need to do to keep you kids safe on the road, there are a few other tips to take into consideration while on the road.  The NHTSA takes bad driving behaviors seriously as they see the devastation caused by these acts every day.  Accidents caused by these types of behaviors are senseless and could easily be avoided.  These are the problems they see the most often:

• Distracted Driving: According to statistics, “nearly 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near-crashes involve some form of driver distraction.”  So, what’s your best way to avoid an accident on the way to your vacation destination?…Avoid distractions!  Distractions come in many different forms including; “cell phone use, texting while driving, eating, drinking, talking with passengers, and using in-vehicle technologies and portable electronic devices.”
• Wear your seatbelts!  Most of you will value the importance of buckling up your kids, so why wouldn’t you take the same consideration for you own life?  In the case of an accident, what good is it if your children are safe and their parents are tragically injured?  Your life is important too and can be saved by a seat belt in the case of an accident.
• Do not drink and drive!  If you plan to have a drink while on vacation, make sure you have a designator sober driver or plan ahead and take a taxi or ask your hotel or resort if they provide transportation to and from your location.  “Every 45 minutes and 32 times a day, someone in the United States dies in an alcohol-impaired-driving crash.”  Be smart…don’t become a statistic!

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
