Delicious Prize Wheel Destinations

Toyota City is known for an exceptional customer experience from start to finish. To add extra fun for our customers, we have a Prize Wheel that everyone gets to spin for a perfect new car day! Amongst the prizes are gift certificates to some great local restaurants. We thought we’d dive into a few of them. The Sedona Taphouse is just down the street from our showroom at 640 East Boston Post Road, (914) 341-1511. They offer a terrific selection of artisan sandwiches at lunchtime. Try their crispy chicken sandwich with a hot honey glaze served with a side of your choice, or perhaps a prime rib sandwich served with sauteed onions and mushrooms. For dinner, their STH Wagyu beef burger with pepper jack cheese is a must-do. Sedona Taphouse has an excellent selection on beer on tap and ales. Another fabulous destination is Modern on the Rails, located at 1 Station Plaza in Mamaroneck, (914) 777-9300. You will be dining in a grand old train station with gorgeous woodwork, vaulted ceilings, massive fireplace, and a delicious mix of Italian and Continental cuisine to suit different palettes. You may enjoy a T-Bone lamb chop, pork chop, NY strip or ribeye while your partner feasts on linguine with fresh shucked clam sauce. The service is excellent. Car shopping with children? Try these kid-friendly restaurants, also good for a delicious quick bite. Did you know the Mamaroneck is a home of one of the oldest and most famous hotdog restaurants, Walter’s Hotdogs? Walters is located at 937 Palmer Ave. You can’t miss it. Look for the green roof and dragons. (The building is a nationally registered historical landmark.) An exclusive blend of beef, pork and veal, Walter's hot dogs are split down the middle, grilled in a "secret sauce," and served on a toasted bun with Walter's signature mustard: a blend of choice mustard seeds, relish and spices. You can have curly fries and fresh ice-cream for dessert. There’s nothing like it! The only place for a great slice of traditional pizza is Sal’s Pizzeria located at 316 Mamaroneck Ave. Sal’s competes with the best of Bronx pizzerias and we’re lucky to have them nearby! The crust is crispy with a little char on the bottom, dense and chewy and able to carry whatever toppings you choose. And of course they also do calzones and other solid pizzeria favorites. We invite you to come by when you’re ready for your next car, truck or SUV and experience just what Transparency, Efficiency and Respect means to us and you, the customer.

Spring has arrived! Time for some TLC for your vehicle

Winter is tough on your vehicle. Now that the weather is warming up it's time to perform some important maintenance to keep things running smoothly. Routine maintenance Now that winter is in the rearview mirror, schedule a service checkup with our Toyota Service Center. Your appointment doesn’t have to be a scheduled service interval visit. Let the expert techs perform a thorough check of your vehicle’s fluids, tire pressure and treads, battery and engine/transmission systems. Fresh clean oil and other fluids ensure that your engine, transmission and drivetrain run smoothly. Winter takes a toll on your battery After winter, your car battery might be on its deathbed. Low temperatures forced your battery to work harder by slowing down its chemical reactions. Now, high temperatures are right around the corner, ready to evaporate essential battery fluids and speed up corrosion. There's a chance that one hot day could leave your battery DOA. Avoid the inconvenience of a car that won't start by getting your car battery tested and if necessary, replaced, before it’s too late. Tires Check your tire pressure in the morning, and adjust your tires based on that reading. Your tire pressure should match the recommended tire pressure in your vehicle manual. In general, tires lose or gain 1 PSI (pound per square inch) for every 10℉ change in temperature, and both under-inflated and over-inflated tires can cause problems on the road. Our Toyota Service Center will check your tire's tread depth and wear patterns as well, and recommend tire rotation and/or replacement. Wiper blades and wiper fluids Winter ice and debris are not your wiper blades friends. Our Service Center will replace them for a clean, streak-free windshield. Top off your washer fluid as well. A full detail There's nothing better than a top to bottom clean and shine for your vehicle after a messy winter! Our Full Service Detail leaves your vehicle sparkling inside and out. Speak to one of our Service Representatives for details. And check our Specials page for other discounted services. Your Toyota is built to last a long time, but it does need your help. Doing your part by performing seasonal maintenance will make all the difference for years of comfortable, trouble-free driving. We invite you to come by when you’re ready for your next car, truck or SUV and experience just what Transparency, Efficiency and Respect means to us and you, the customer. Check our new inventory here and our pre-owned inventory here. We have a great selection in stock and ready for delivery. Our expert finance department will work with you to find financing that works for you. You can even get pre-approved on our website. Call us at 914-825-649 8 to arrange a visit and a test drive with one of our sales specialists. We look forward to seeing you!

Winter Safety and Vehicle Care

Winter is a tough time for drivers and their vehicles. The first snowfall of the season seems to appear unexpectedly and take us by surprise. There's no better time than now to review smart tactics so that next season we're fully prepared. Routine Maintenance Before the heavy cold sets in, schedule a service checkup with your Toyota Service Center. Your appointment doesn't have to be a scheduled service interval visit. Let the expert techs perform a thorough check of your vehicle's fluids, tire pressure and treads, battery and engine/transmission systems. Tires In snowy regions, dedicated winter tires are the best option. If you use your stock all-season tires, make sure they have enough tread and are wearing evenly. If treads are very worn, don't shrug it off. It's the safety of you, those riding with you and others around you! Emergencies Stock your vehicle with a few bottles of water, extra windshield fluid, an emergency blanket and flashlight. We've all heard about jammed highways that took many hours to clear. Be prepared! Fuel Keep your vehicle filled with fuel. A few hours of idling or a long detour can leave you stranded with an empty tank. While you're at it, take the station stop as an opportunity to double-check your tire pressure. Changing temps cause tires to change pressure. Snow sweepers Most of us have been using simple scrapers and brushes. Consider a snow sweeper like this one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Suncast-Telescoping-Snow-Sweeper-SB80024/207206768 This sweeper is absolutely brilliant. Fast work with no scratches! Our dealership uses ones like this all the time to make short work of cleaning cars after a snowfall. There are plenty of other brands and models available as well. And don't forget to raise your wiper blades before a snow! Common sense and good preparation will go a long way to make your motoring winter safe. Stay warm! We invite you to come by when you’re ready for your next car, truck or SUV and experience just what Transparency, Efficiency and Respect means to us and you, the customer. Check our new inventory here and our pre-owned inventory here. We have a great selection in stock and ready for delivery. Our expert finance department will work with you to find financing that works for you. You can even get pre-approved on our website. Call us at 914-825-6498 to arrange a visit and a test drive with one of our sales specialists. We look forward to seeing you!
