Tips to Cut Down on Distracted Driving

April is Distracted Driver Awareness month, and we here at Toyota Scion of Concord wanted to give our wonderful customers some pointers on how to stay safe on the roadways. Not only does distracted driving account for a high percentage of accidents on the roadways, but a distracted driver is 23 times more likely to get into an accident – yikes!

We owe our business to you, the customer, and it is our hope that every one of our customers will stay safe on the roadways, so below is our list to stay focused on the road.

1.       Download an app! (Before getting on the road, of course)

·         There are a number of apps, such as AT&T’s DriveMode, tXtBlocker, and “Drive First” by Sprint that can block texting and other distracting features on your phone to cut down on distractions.

2.       Eat First

·         We understand that sometimes in your busy lifestyle you have to grab a bite on the go, but it is a distraction. Plan out your meals and try to squeeze a bite in before hitting the road.

3.       Set a playlist

·         Searching for a station, shuffling through an iPod, or fumbling through CDs are all huge distractions that can take your eyes off of the road for far too long. Try to set a playlist, or pick a CD before driving.

4.       GPS

·         Set your destination before you take off, or if you must change your destination, use voice control options so that you are able to quickly say your destination and keep your eyes to the road ahead.

5.       For parents: make sure your children are occupied and buckled up

·         If you are a parent, you know what we are talking about. Make sure the portable DVD player and snacks are ready to go before hitting the road, it could make the difference in arriving safely with your precious cargo!

These are just a few things that can be done to be safer on the roadways, and it is up to you to make a change and commit to staying focused.

Stop in and let us show you the technology Toyota is implementing to cut down on distracted driving!

We look forward to seeing you, and stay safe!

5 Million Hybrids and Counting, Toyota is Proud to Stay Green

Since 1997, Toyota has led the way in Hybrid Car technology. In ’97 the Prius was one of a kind, but 13 years of innovation has led to Toyota offering multiple hybrid options, as well as a number of electric vehicles. Each of these vehicles is environmentally friendly, and is available at Toyota Scion of Concord.

Toyotas hybrid lineup includes the Camry Hybrid, Avalon Hybrid, Highlander Hybrid, and the Prius.

Three of the four hybrids in the Toyota lineup receive over 40 MPG*, while the Highlander Hybrid reaches 28 MPG*, which is very impressive for a sport utility vehicle. Not only are these vehicles fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly, they are also some of the most reliable vehicles on the road.

In honor of Earth Day, and the amount of money these wonderful vehicles will save you in gas, stop in at Toyota Scion of Concord today and ask about our full line of hybrid cars and SUVs. Toyota is committed to stay green, and we here at Toyota Scion of Concord are more than happy to offer these great vehicles!

SEE WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT US

We came in with the intention of starting at Toyota of Concord, then planning to visit other Toyota and Honda dealers before making a choice. Instead, Tom Aberle discussed the Prius, accompanied us on a test drive, and worked out an agreeable price. So we dropped the plan to shop around, took a few hours to discuss the offer and attend to some other business, then came back late that evening and bought the car. Tom led us through the process, and did a fine job of meeting our needs for information and decision data.

Rachael Swick was at all times patient and concerned with meeting our needs and assuring our understanding. She stayed at work to finish our paperwork process long after the agency was officially closed, which was [quote]above and beyond the call[quote] as we saw it. The next day we had an additional question, and she promptly returned our call and answered our question fully. Toyota of Concord is lucky to have Rachael on their team.- Hal

Titus was personable, honest and sincere which are very important qualities in a salesperson. I have him a hefty task with my car search and he exceeded my expectations. -Natalie

Mark should receive a truly exceptional  rating as I was able to trade my old vehicle in and get my first new ride that is out of this world. After owning a Toyota, I truly understand the old slogan I love what you do for me Toyota. -Dustin
