Ninety three sessions will be offered – designated for Fundamental, Intermediate and Advanced levels to make it easy for attendees to choose the sessions that best fit their needs. Two specialized tracks – for Dealer Pre-Owned and Dealer Fixed Operations – will be featured.

Pre-owned managers – and dealers who want to focus on this profit center – can learn in-depth about issues and best practices for pre-owned during 10 sessions sequentially scheduled over the three-day period.

Cottage Lake Motors: celebrating the good & the bad years

I really like the truth in advertising represented by this sign, which reads "Anniversary Sale: Thanks for 10 great years and … 2 mediocre ones". I wonder what will be on their marquee next year at this time.

Street Toyota Gives new car Owners a Beneficial Workshop

Amarillo, TX (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

Street Toyota of Amarillo, Texas is hosting another New Owner’s Clinic to help recent car buyers understand their cars and the maintenance they require.

On Tuesday, February 7, Street Toyota will host another New Owner’s Clinic to benefit those customers who recently bought a car from Street Toyota. The clinic will be held in Street Toyota’s conference room and will consist of a light dinner and door prizes at no cost.

The New Owner’s Clinic is designed to last 1-2 hours and it will inform customers of the benefits of proper car maintenance, the knowledge needed to get the most out of their cars and a Q&A session. Furthermore, experts from the service and parts departments will be present to assist any new owners where they need help.

The event is invite only and those that attend must RSVP. The clinic is hosted every other month so that all new owners may be included in the opportunity.

Dave Walker, Scion Sales Manager, organizes the clinics and guarantees it is worth your time.

“It is just another reason to buy a vehicle from Street Toyota. Learning about the maintenance of a car is just as important as buying a car,” said Walker.

The New Owner’s Clinic is planned to benefit Toyota customers so that they can get the most out of their car and so that they may also value their vehicle as much as we do.

Street Toyota in Amarillo, Texas was established in 1982. A new 58,000 square foot facility on 9 acres is now open at 45th and Soncy. This is a state of the art facility and the customer’s comfort has been emphasized from the ample parking right down to the gourmet coffee. Street Toyota is the first dealer in west Texas to become Signature Certified.

Street Toyota has been a valuable corporate citizen in the Panhandle area. They provide support to area nonprofit organizations such as United Way, Better Business Bureau, Amarillo Adult Literacy, Harrington Cancer Center, Meals on Wheels, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Amarillo Symphony, Amarillo Museum of Art, Amarillo Little Theater, Lone Star Ballet, Discovery Center, Globe News Center for the Performing Arts, CACHA (Hispanic Chamber of Commerce) and many other organizations.
