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!

Excellent service, Kevin did a great job helping us out. "Fort's Toyota" was the first and only dealership we had to go to to find a great deal on are amazing new 4Runner. It is a very nice and relaxed atmos "Fort's Toyota" was the first and only dealership we had to go to to find a great deal on are amazing new 4Runner. It is a very nice and relaxed atmosphere, no pressure. I'd actually been going to Forts Toyota for years for there service department. Eric Stahl does an amazing job running the service department. You honestly couldn't find a better guy for the job. He has always taken care of me. So we decided to start are car search there, and that is where it ended. Like I said couldn't have been more of a comfortable experience. No one jumps on you when you first get out and look. They wait patiently, and will actively seeking out what you are looking for or better while still staying in your price range. They can count on us being repeat customers. Oh yeah plus they give a lifetime warranty on 4runners. LIFETIME!!! More
