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 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 espouse to my staff to treat everyone like they are working on their family members car. We don't sell "snake-oil" products or over-recommend work on cars. We do our best everyday and I hope it shows.

Service was good, speedy. They got me in did what they needed to service on my 2021 Rav4. First experience as first new vehicle. Only thing that keeps it from being great They got me in did what they needed to service on my 2021 Rav4. First experience as first new vehicle. Only thing that keeps it from being great, it wasn't washed. The wash probably wasn't in the deal. Smile, it is on me. More

We bought a new Highlander Hybrid last fall and it is fantastic. The dealer is great about regularly service like oil changes and tire rotations. I am in and out quicker than the scheduled time frame. fantastic. The dealer is great about regularly service like oil changes and tire rotations.
