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 have been a Fort's Toyota customer for 15 years and service has always been more of a small family get-together versus a large dealership where you get lost in the shuffle. I prefer their more personal service has always been more of a small family get-together versus a large dealership where you get lost in the shuffle. I prefer their more personal approach to handling business. The Sales and Service for 2 new and 3 used cars over the years has never let me down, I recommend Fort's Toyota 100 percent! Plus, they now have a brand new coffee kiosk machine with every variety you could want. Makes you want to stay! More

I appreciate how easy it was to get an appointment to follow up with the diagnostic on the oil leaking in my RAV4.
