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!

Let's be honest, car repairs usually rank somewhere between root canal surgery and interpretive dance in terms of excitement. But this trip to Forts Toyota was like a clown car full of happy surprises! between root canal surgery and interpretive dance in terms of excitement. But this trip to Forts Toyota was like a clown car full of happy surprises! First off, the service advisor, Eric Stahl, had the charisma of a game show host and the knowledge of a car whisperer. I'm pretty sure he gets all his whispering from Kenny in the back. They explained everything in terms even my dog could understand (although, to be fair, my dog is pretty darn smart). Bonus points for the juggling act with loaner car keys while quoting Monty Python. Who says car repairs can't be cultured? The waiting area was like a fever dream of complimentary snacks. I'm pretty sure I saw a unicorn drinking on a gourmet coffee next to the free massage chair. I may have blacked out from sugar overload after the third donut, but hey, a happy tummy makes a happy customer. Did they discover a time machine in the back? Did they negotiate with the gremlins living in HVAC fan? Whatever their secret sauce, it worked like a charm. More

I was very happy with my last service, but I’m still upset that I haven’t received my tunnel cover refund in about six months. I know the owner and I really like the owner, and if he was aware of this, upset that I haven’t received my tunnel cover refund in about six months. I know the owner and I really like the owner, and if he was aware of this, he probably would be unhappy as I am. The service department gets an A+. More
