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!

Could not find a way to fix my car, which was unsafe to drive. Said that car was test drove, but the mileage out was the same number as the mileage out. The car accelerated when brake was used and they r drive. Said that car was test drove, but the mileage out was the same number as the mileage out. The car accelerated when brake was used and they released it to the customer. I was 200 miles from home and they appeared to not care---it was my problem and not theirs. This was the fourth time the car accelerated when using the brake. They said it was the way I drive. The looked at the walker and immediately assumed it was my fault because I was handicapped. However, one cousin was driving the car and it did it for her and my other cousin was driving when it did it to her. So, Toyota service cannot so it's the way I drive. The final time it did it was in a small town. I was braking for a red light and instead we sped through. Luckily we did not get hurt or hurt anyone else. I cannot believe they released an unsafe car to me. I ended up having to buy a used car so we could get home safely. More

everyone I dealt with made the buying experience easy for me. Would recommend Forts Toyota to friends and family. If you want more people to complete survey, you shouldn't require this review me.
