New cars
Toyota's Corolla has offered great mileage in an affordable package ever since it was introduced to the U.S. in 1968. The 2009 Corolla continues that legacy with an all-new, contemporary design and impressive economy.
"Nearly 40 years after the Corolla was introduced to American drivers, the 2009 Corolla continues to offer the quality and value for which the brand has long been known," said Tim Morrison, Toyota Division corporate marketing manager. "In style and substance, the tenth-generation Corolla has a strong, new identity, all its own."
Seasonal Service
Your car had plenty of horsepower ever since you drove it away from
Valley Toyota. Lately, however, you noticed that it doesn't accelerate promptly and fuel economy has dropped.
"It could be your fuel injection system," said Tony Molla, vice president of communications at the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence and author of a book about changes in fuel injection technology. "Dirt particles can clog the tiny valve inside your Toyota's fuel system and reduce performance noticeably."
Accessories
Lewis & Clark never had it so easy.
Say you're on vacation in the Canadian Rockies and your family wants a hotel before the sun goes down. The nearest town was miles back and traditional maps don't offer any clues. What now?
"GPS navigation devices offer drivers precise directions whether you're in Manhattan or rural Kansas," said Ted Gartner, senior manager at Garmin, a maker of GPS devises. "You also can take portable devices out of the car and use them for walking directions."
Car care
A set of quality tools can help make a job go faster and better whether you are building a house or washing your Toyota.
So says Lane Pietro, a car care professional who spent years applying elbow grease to a wide range of makes and models. Pietro quickly discovered how car care tools made jobs go faster. And the results were better, too.
Valley Toyota
Trasee Faria, customer relations coordinator at Valley Toyota, spent her youth on a small dairy farm in Tulare and gained a big perspective on the world.
Trasee's folks, Tony and Theresa Carvalho, are natives of the Azore Islands off of Portugal. They settled in southern San Joaquin Valley when Trasee's father took a job in the dairy business. Eventually, her parents scrimped and saved enough to open their own dairy in Riverdale.
Valley Toyota offers sales, parts, repair, and service for the southern San Joaquin Valley, Calif. including Hanford, Visalia, Fresno, Tulare, Delano, Bakersfield, Porterville, Reedley, Selma, Sanger, Lemoore and Kingsburg.
