• The general public is encouraged to vote each day to help determine winners
• One vehicle will be awarded each day through August 16 for a total of 100 vehicles

TORRANCE, CALIF. (May 9, 2011) – Toyota today announced that public voting for its “100 Cars for Good” program is now open through August 16. The program will award 100 vehicles over the course of 100 days to 100 deserving nonprofit organizations based on votes from the public.

Beginning today, five organizations per day will be profiled on Toyota’s Facebook page where the public is invited to show their support by voting daily to help determine the winning nonprofit organization. Each of the 500 nonprofit organizations selected as finalists have created an online profile, which may include a video showcasing how the organization plans to use a new Toyota vehicle to do good in their local community. Voters may place one vote per day, each day, over the course of the program.

Each day, the previous day’s winner will be announced and five new nonprofit organizations will be featured for voting. Winning organizations can choose from the following vehicles: Toyota Prius, Tacoma, Tundra, Highlander Hybrid, Sienna or Sienna Mobility. With each vehicle, Toyota Financial Services will provide a six-year, 100,000 mile Toyota Vehicle Service Agreement to help provide extended protection beyond the vehicle warranty.

The 500 finalists were chosen by an independent panel of judges who are experts in the fields of philanthropy and corporate social responsibility. The finalists represent non-profit organizations servicing the community across a broad range of categories including animal welfare, arts, education, environment, health, safety and human services, among others.

And don't forget to donate to our care packages for our military men and women. Go here for details.

Sales Manager

Chances are, if you have been into Hatch Toyota, formerly part of Hatch Motor Company, in the last twenty years, you have seen this guy.
Meet Bob Genet.
He is our Sales Manager.
He is by far the most positive employee at Hatch Toyota.
He can cook a mean steak, while his wife can fill in the rest of the meal with things that will make your mouth water.
I spent a lot of time at his house as a kid.
He sold my parents cars even before I was affiliated with Hatch Toyota.
He is an all around good guy.
And will surely put a smile on your face if you get an opportunity to work with him.

He has four boys and has lived in the same house for as long as I can remember. He's reliable, a good father, and a good employee to have around.

Come out to the auto mall sometime and meet him. I don't think you will be disappointed.

A tip

Boy, do I have some good news for you! Do you know what week of the month this is? You got it. It's the last one.
What does that mean for you?
Let me explain.
The last week of the month brings dead lines on goals set at the beginning of the month. We at Hatch Toyota don't take our goals lightly. This means that on top of all our incentives and great deals we will work even harder to get you into your dream car at your dream price.
Shhhh...don't tell.
Just thought you might be interested in that tid bit.

Which one are you?
Have a fun and safe Prom, BRHS.
We are proud to be holding it at our facility.

What is the Plural of Prius?

"Money is sorely needed..."

Hatch Toyota has given a donation amounting to $2500 to the Humane Society of the White Mountains. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., will be matching the donation with an additional $2500. The director of the Humane Society told Mike Leiby of the White Mountain Independent that "the money is sorely needed because donations have suffered significantly during the ongoing recession, and the money will be used to help low income and struggling mountain residents afford spaying and neutering."
Summer months usually increase the number of animals unwanted. Spaying and neutering could help this significantly.
As of now, the Humane Society could use all the donations possible. They need it to help with medical costs as well as the cost to keep the animals clean, fed and watered.
Hatch Toyota picks four charities to donate $2500 each year. The reason Chaz picked the Humane Society this year was because he feels it is often overlooked. With every donation, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., matches it. This allows all Toyota dealers to have a greater impact on their hometowns with each contribution.

Japan

Our deepest sympathies are with the families in Japan who are without homes and loved ones.
Toyota is now moving to donate 300 million yen for relief and recovery efforts. They will also be reviewing other needs as more revelations of the damage come out.

Speaking of Presidents

"Each year, Toyota Motor Sales recognizes its stellar dealerships with the prestigious President's Award. It's a very high honor a dealership can receive from Toyota, and is only awarded to those dealerships who have demonstrated a commitment to maintaining Toyota's high standards for customer satisfaction.

One of Toyota's primary goals is to emphasize the entire ownership experience. We want to help ensure that our customers are satisfied not only at the time of purchase, but as long as they own their vehicle. Offering top quality cars and trucks is, of course, the first step - but only the beginning. Toyota dealerships strive to match the quality of our products with the finest service in the industry. In order to qualify as a President's Award winner, dealerships must excel in each of a series of categories, including Customer Sales Satisfaction and Customer Service Satisfaction. Dealerships which meet the requirements in all categories receive name badge recognition at all dealer events, national recognition in an Automotive News advertisement and, of course, the beautiful President's Award Tiffany crystal trophy."

Taken From Toyota. com

Hatch Toyota has been the recipient of this award for 2010.

We are highly honored and feel blessed to have the customers we do.

We know the only way to keep the customer coming back is by doing the things which qualify us for such awards as mentioned above.

Here's to 2011, because we are planning on doing it again.

Presidents and IPads

Starting Thursday, Feb 17 thru Monday, February 21, you come purchase a new 2010 in stock Toyota, you receive a free Apple IPad. 

Yes, let me say it again, purchase a New 2010 in stock Toyota, receive a New Apple IPad. 

Be tech savvy and keep some presidents in your pocket.

If you have watched the news, you probably know about the NHTSA/NASA study that will be conducted on the Toyota electronic throttle system. In response to the publication of the upcoming extensive testing, Steve St. Angelo, who is Toyotas Chief Quality Officer for North America has been quoted:

"Toyota Welcomes the findings of Nasa and NHTSA regarding our Electronc Throttle Control System with intelligence (ETCS-I) and we appreciate the thoroughness of their review. We believe this rigorous scientific analysis by some of America's foremost engineers should further reinforce confidence in the safety of Toyota and Lexus vehicles. We hope this important study will help put to rest unsupported speculation about Toyota's ETCS-I, which is well-designed and well-tested to ensure that a real world, un-commanded acceleration of the vehicle cannot occur."

"We will continue to develop and equip Toyota and Lexus vehicles with industry-leading safety technologies, including many based on breakthroughs in sophisticated electronics systems. We will also continue to cooperate fully with NHTSA and respected outside experts in order to help ensure that our customers have the utmost confidence in the safety and reliability of our vehicles. Everyone at Toyota - all 30,000 of our team members in the United States and the many thousands of Americans at our dealers and suppliers across the country - is focused on listening to our customers and constantly improving our products and service."

We at Hatch Toyota would like to get behind this statement. We have faith in our product and welcome an extensive study so our valued customers can feel safe driving off of our lot.
We will continue to keep you updated on any other important information pertaining to you the customers, safety.

Accelerated Readers

As a sponsor of the AR (reading program) at Whipple Ranch Elementary School we were more than thrilled when they asked us if we would have the students who were completing and excelling in AR to Hatch Toyota for a fun reward field trip.

In the below freezing temperature buses filled our car lot. It was definitely a great site to see so many children doing well in reading as this is one thing they will need the rest of their lives.

Popcorn and candy were provided by WME Theaters.
A representative from the Show Low Museum came and gave a presentation on how Show Low got it's name.

Hatch toyota had jumpers set up indoors. The kids really enjoyed this. We gave a card to each student as they came in and then drew cards later for gifts.

Each child left with a re-usable water bottle, gift bag, and a $500 off the purchase of a new Toyota for their parents.

It was a good break from the daily grind to do something fun for the children in our community.

9 degrees

This morning I got in my car almost frozen solid from the short walk I made to get in. It was a whopping 9 degrees.
It has seemed to be an unusually cold winter. With that in mind I asked our service manager Chris Stearns what tips he had for us in the frigid temps. This is how he responded:

"Tips: Driving warms the car faster than idling. If your concern is not the health of the car, but simply your own creature comforts. Idling is not actually an effective way to warm up a car – it warms up faster if you just drive it. Your vehicle is built with cold weather starts in mind this is why the switch to the New lighter weight oils to provide better protection faster at lower temperatures."

My creature comforts seem a little more important at 9 degrees and besides the health of my car is up to the boys down at Hatch Toyota.

New Year. New Product, and New Deals

It's 2011 !!! woo hoo.
