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 took my Highlander Hybrid in for a 90,000 mile service. An unexpected problem turned up during the servicing. Not only was the problem solved but Fort's Toyota saved me money.

This is the second time the service department has saved me money. All of the service employees are very knowledgable and take very good care of the customers. I will always buy from Fort's and use their service department. They are the best. More

When my 2006 Highlander Hybrid wouldn't start unexpectedly, Eric was able to diagnose the possible reason over the phone. He was right and I was able to get it started with a jump. That probabl unexpectedly, Eric was able to diagnose the possible reason over the phone. He was right and I was able to get it started with a jump. That probably sounds too simple but hybrid battery systems are a little more complex that usual. Cody ordered a new battery and Chad & the service department got it installed quickly. What I appreciated most was the respectful way I was treated - no condescension or attitude about not being able to change the battery myself. Sadly, that's not the case at every dealership. My husband and I used to be GM-only car buyers, until we were burned by them five years ago. We felt good about the deal Fort's gave us on this Highlander, and have been exceptionally pleased by them ever since. Our salesman Nick Armstrong (he's no longer there, unfortunately)was very knowledgeable, professional and honest. We were honest with the sales mgr Ben Weaver about the problems with our trade-in, but he made us a deal that was more than fair. We gladly return to Forts's for regular maintenance and have found their service dept. to be second to none. Love the service facility, too! More
