Toyota Giving Back: 2013 Prius Plug-In Challenge

In light of recent allegations towards some automakers for overreaching fuel economy claims, Toyota, who has faced little if any scrutiny, is setting out to get the word out about their fuel-efficient and green Prius line while giving back. Taking place in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut is the 2013 Prius Plug-in Challenge.

Participants in the Prius Plug-in Challenge will be loaned a Prius Plug-in for 30 days, and will drive it for no less than 500 miles, or 75 per week. At the end of the thirty days, the team that achieves the best overall fuel economy will win the challenge and receive a $2,500 donation toward their organization. Second place in the challenge will receive a $1,000 donation, while third place gets $500.

The 2013 Prius Plug-in receives an estimated combined 95 MPGe or 50 MPG depending on if you use the electric or hybrid mode.

Toyota of Concord Customers Say It All!

I had thoroughly researched the RAV 4 Ltd on the internet before visiting the dealership. I was trading in my 2011 Prius and wished to stay within my comfort zone for paying cash for the RAV 4. Donnie Moore and I discussed the purchase, agreed to deal, found the car at another dealership, and had it delivered to Toyota Scion of Concord. I took possession within two days.
When arriving at the dealership, Anthony Arellano completed my paperwork quickly and efficiently and Pete Barnhardt, Finance Manager, completed all the financial paperwork also quickly and efficiently. Bottom line, I was in and out of the dealership in two hours - and that was only because I remained to talk to these superb gentlemen for several minutes after having all my paperwork and new vehicle keys in hand. -Philip

Joe is great. I've bought two cars from him in the past 6 years and each time he's been easy to work with, professional, and very knowledgable. -Matthew

Everyone was very nice and friendly and answered all of my questions. I liked the van ride to and from work. That went very well too. My car was repaired and serviced so much faster than I thought it would be. The entire experience was so good that I am telling everyone I know about it. It made me buy a new vehicle from the dealership because I liked the service I received. -Sandra

John Larson did a great job and helped me find that car that suited me. He knew information on the car that helped me pick the model that I did and I am very satisfied with it. -James

All of your service reps are great and were very attentive to me even though Tonya Cordrey was assigned to me that day. I was experiencing severe knee pain when I was there and they paid attention to me and made sure I had a comfortable place to sit to keep me off my feet as much as possible. Peter Del Sol and Tonya took care of my service needs. I understand that Tonya is relatively new and she is definitely a keeper. Peter is a class act and I am happy he has been promoted to Manager.
Your service department is well managed and they work together as a family. While I have worked mostly with Peter in previous years, I have always received top notch care from anyone who has helped me with my service. -Patricia

Kelley Blue Book Names Toyota as Brand with Best Resale Value


It isn’t something that everyone considers when buying a new car, but resale value should always be considered when purchasing a new vehicle. Don’t you want to get as much as possible out of your vehicle when you trade it in or sell it for a newer model five years down the road?

Toyota of Concord Customers Say It All!

Tyler was a great salesman! I thoroughly enjoyed my first car buying experience with him. He was knowledgeable, patient, and has a very warm personality. His charisma shows that he enjoys his role at Toyota of Concord. He even spoke with my husband over the phone. I would definitely recommend a friend ask for him if he or she was looking for assistance.- Melissa


Tom was very helpful and answered all our questions just like he did the last time when I purchased my 2012 Prius.
He took time to show us all the extras we were getting with the 2013 Prius and explained how the apps worked.
Michelle in finance, worked hard for us too so we would have a lower finance interest rate.
Both Tom and Michelle, in my opinion, went above and beyond the normal selling of a car.
I am looking forward to purchasing again some time next year.
Thank you Toyota Scion of Concord for employing two very special people to represent you. -Gloria

Check Out Our Testimonial This Week

Last week I happened to be at the dealership service center to get my 2012 Prius factory service done for 15K. I randomly took an appointment online with Rick Smith. Someone else came to attend me when I drove into the service area. Later it was transferred to Rick.

The very moment I introduced myself I started experiencing the good 'customer service' feeling. I could tell the difference between the two individuals right away and Rick was great greeting me, listening to couple of observations I had in the vehicle and documenting it and cross verifying the same with me before sending the car into the service area. He was so precise in understanding my issues and translating into machine language :-).

I must also Thank the mechanic who serviced my vehicle. Unfortunately they work behind the scene and I don't get a chance to thank them. Hence please pass on my appreciation to them as well. The after service experience with the vehicle was also great. I thought I am riding a newer vehicle. The steering was so smooth and controlled, the engine felt quieter, the break pedal was more responsive.

All in all this time my experience was amazing. Rick Smith and team has done a true 'Customer Service' and excelled. - Gopinath
