Toyota. Nowhere else. That's all I ever wanted to work for. I have joked that I bleed Toyota emblems. My Dad, Uncle, and Aunt all worked for Toyota when I was growing up. We were early adopters of the product here in Central Illinois. I think our 1989 Corolla was the first Toyota in Fairbury, IL. I started at Fort's as a Salesman on April Fools Day 1996. Hopefully, I haven't been the fool! It is an easy way for me to remember the date. I had never sold a car or worked at a dealer before, but I impressed the sales manager with my product knowledge. Later, as my Wife and I started a family. I needed a kid-friendly schedule and moved to the service department. This has been an opportunity to meet thousands of Toyota lovers! I can talk Toyota all day with you folks!

I got the dealer to take a second look fixed a major leak in the front of my engine. I don't believe the dealer believed me as to the second leak. I got the dealer to take a second look and this time he had 5-6 mechanics with him when he looked. And it was the Service Manager who shouted those immortal words, "I see the drip". I was vindicated with those words. The dealer kept my car for a couple of days and fixed the leak. I can now sleep at night. More
