Acton Toyota of Littleton Helps Find Homes for Youth in State Foster Care

Dealership recognized by the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange

BOSTON, MA - Acton Toyota of Littleton is showing its customers the many benefits of donating a used car through its dealership - it not only helps them get a tax break, but it also helps hundreds of special needs children in Massachusetts foster care find a "permanent place to call HOME."

Over the past year, Acton Toyota of Littleton has been a top referrer to the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange's (MARE) Car Donation Program, one of MARE's key fundraising initiatives to maintain its mission of recruiting adults to adopt local youth from foster care. To commend the dealership's commitment to building families through adoption, MARE recently presented Acton Toyota of Littleton with a "Friend of the Family" award.

"Sometime a customer's used car is worth more to them as a charitable tax donation than we can give them in trade-in value," said Mike Hills, general manager of Acton Toyota of Littleton. "We're glad to give our customers the option of turning their used cars into a good deed for needy children."

Acton Toyota of Littleton has referred dozens of used car owners to MARE's Car Donation Program. The vehicles (car, trucks, motorcycles, and even boats) are processed in conjunction with Route 128 Used Auto Parts in Waltham, MARE's automobile recycling partner. Each donated vehicle has value to MARE, having provided over $100,000 last year alone to support MARE's programs, such as Adoption Parties and Wednesday's Child stories on WBZ-TV.

A local TV investigative report described MARE's Car Donation Program as "one of the better ways to maximize donation dollars." MARE receives 50% of the proceeds when a donated vehicle is sold, while many other vehicle donation programs contribute only 7% - 10% to their designated charity.

MARE is currently seeking adoptive families for 517 children and teens in Massachusetts foster care. Over the past 52 years, MARE has helped more than 5,350 youth leave temporary state care for permanent family life.

"Each year more than 600 local teens 'age out' of the foster care system at age 18 to fend for themselves in our communities," said Lisa Funaro, MARE's executive director. "With the generous support of Acton Toyota of Littleton and their customers, we can continue to focus on finding adoptive families for children in state care who have been waiting the longest for a home."

Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange, Inc. (MARE)

Founded in 1957, MARE is a private non-profit organization dedicated to finding "a permanent place to call HOME" for harder-to-place children waiting in foster care, including children 6 to 16 years old, sibling groups, children of color of all ages, and youth with emotional, physical and intellectual challenges. MARE works in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) and private adoption agencies throughout the state. To learn more about MARE's Car Donation Program or adoption from foster care, contact MARE at 617-54-ADOPT (617-542-3678) or visit http://www.mareinc.org/

Acton Toyota of Littleton ranked in Top 50 nationally in Toyota sales

Acton Toyota of Littleton, which relocated to a new, state of the art dealership campus in October 2008, has been recognized by Toyota Motor Sales USA as one of its Top 50 Toyota dealerships for calendar year 2009. Located in Littleton, Massachusetts, Acton Toyota of Littleton provides outstanding representation for Toyota for customers in greater and metro-west Boston area, Nashua, Watertown, Woburn, Framingham, and Lexington.

"Achieving a Top 50 ranking in new Toyota sales is the result of hard work and a focus on providing an exceptional sales, service, and ownership experience for our customers," comments Mike Hills, General Manager. Winner of Toyota's President's Award for 18 consecutive years, the dealership is focused on superior service as well as volume sales.

Acton Toyota of Littleton also finished the year as the 5th largest Toyota dealership in Toyota's Boston Region which encompasses nearly all of New England. Additionally the Littleton, Massachusetts dealership was the largest retailer of hybrid Toyota Prius in the Boston Region, achieving the #1 ranking in retail sales crown for the second year in a row. In fact, with more than 400 Prius retailed for 2009 the dealership averaged more than one Prius sale per day throughout the year.

While the dealership enjoys the impressive sales performance achievements, Acton Toyota and its employees pride themselves most on the recognition they have earned in customer satisfaction ratings tallied by Toyota Motor Sales USA. Proving that high volume sales do not have to come at the expense of a quality sales and ownership experience, the Littleton Toyota dealer achieved an almost unheard of 99.19 "Would Recommend" rating in the latest Sales Satisfaction Index published by Toyota. This rating is based on actual customer surveys conducted by Toyota during calendar year 2009.

"We have been very fortunate to have the large majority of our business come by way of referrals and repeat customers," notes Craig Belowski, General Sales Manager at Acton Toyota. Belowski adds, "We understand and appreciate that in order for this to continue, we must ensure complete customer satisfaction is always our number one priority. While we are thoroughly pleased with the sales performance accomplishments, our top goal each and every year is Toyota's President Award." This prestigious award from Toyota requires exceptional customer service in all three dealership facilities: sales, service, and parts.

Acton Toyota of Littleton looks forward to 2010 with hopes of even greater sales performance numbers and records. However, the Boston, MA area dealership will not let its desire to reach them overshadow what has always been most important at Acton Toyota of Littleton.
Superior customer service and satisfaction are paramount to Acton Toyota.

Acton Toyota of Littleton unveils its new website

Demonstrating its own firm commitment to Toyota's business philosophy "kaizen," Acton Toyota of Littleton, a premier Toyota dealership conveniently located outside of Boston, MA, is proud to report the launch of a brand-new website hosted by Dealer.com utilizing the premier web-builder's V8 SmartSite 2.0 platform.

The Japanese word "kaizen" has developed into a translation of "continuous improvement" and this is precisely why Acton Toyota, a leading Toyota dealership in metro-west Boston, Mass, undertook the task of building a new website from scratch.

"We are careful to pursue only those Internet advancements that truly deliver a better buying experience to the customer and a strategic advantage to the dealership. We do not make or adopt technology simply for the sake of adopting technology," comments Mike Hills, General Manager of Acton Toyota.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise that "nearly all of the changes to this new site were done with a meticulous focus on improving the customer's experience," notes Justin Brun, e-Commerce Manager and individual primarily responsible for Acton Toyota's new website.

A few of the many changes include:

Mobile Website: Consumers can now conveniently view the Boston, MA and Nashua, NH local Toyota dealership's new and pre-owned inventory on their smart phone providing them greater opportunity and flexibility to shop for the car they desire. Additionally, iPhone users might be pleased to know that they can now download through iTunes an Acton Toyota of Littleton application which will allow them to not only view inventory, but also view service and parts specials, contact the dealership (via phone or email) with one click, and more.

Individual Indexing of Used Vehicles: Now each individual pre-owned vehicle listing has its own unique URL which is recognized by the search engines. The dealership's goal here is provide the customer with exactly what he/she wants and seeks. So, when a consumer searches for a "2005 Toyota Camry in Boston, MA" there is a good chance Acton's results will present specifically its 2005 Toyota Camry's available for sale.

Greater Customer Offerings/Information: Acton's new site boats over 25 FAQs covering sales, service, and parts, RSS feeds directly from Toyota covering Toyota incentives/specials and manufacturer news and events, and a "Sell Us Your Car" page presenting customers a chance get an estimate without visiting the dealership.

Enhanced Video Usage: Each pre-owned vehicle listing now has an audio voice to compliment the car's written description to better communicate to the customer the details of the car being viewed. Additionally, the dealership filmed numerous satisfied customers to tell from their perspective why they like Acton Toyota and why others would enjoy doing business with the dealership. You can find this video prominently displaced on the home page of the new site.
Additionally, "this site was built to better tell the Acton Toyota of Littleton story and communicate to the viewer how committed our dealership is to providing an unequalled shopping, buying, and owning experience," remarks Craig Belowski, General Sales Manager of Acton Toyota of Littleton.

Whether it's the Acton Rewards page detailing the leading Boston, Mass Toyota dealership's unique rewards program rewarding consumers for their patronage with free services, loaner vehicles, and discounts off Toyota parts or the Toyota Certified Used Vehicle page specifically explaining the Toyota Certification process, its warranty coverage, and other corresponding consumer benefits to the program each page has been carefully designed to provide the customer with as much information as he/she deems important.

And while the Boston metro-west Toyota dealership has spent an immense amount of time and focus on building its new website, the dealership's strong commitment to "kaizen" that will have it continually improving and advancing what currently exists. And thanks to Dealer.com's extremely flexible platform, Acton Toyota now has the ability to easily and quickly change the site by adding, removing, and editing content and by adding new pages. "We view the site as ever-changing and advancing, not simply a static, stale item once '"complete," again notes Justin Brun, e-Commerce Manager.

Ultimately, Acton Toyota of Littleton hopes the viewer of its all-new website comes to the conclusion after comparing Acton Toyota of Littleton to other Boston, MA Toyota dealerships that indeed there really is no comparison.

Acton Toyota of Littleton refunded over $40,000 to its "Cash for Clunkers" customers.

Acton Toyota of Littleton, a premier Toyota dealership conveniently located just outside of Boston, MA, in keeping with its commitment to doing what is right for the customer, refunded over $40,000 to its "Cash for Clunkers" customers.
This comes in stark contrast to what the Boston Globe discovered upon investigating Boston, MA area dealerships' adherence to the CARS program requirement for dealers to return all but $50 of the "clunker" scrap value to the customer.
"I was surprised and pleased when in addition to the "Cash for Clunkers" rebate Acton Toyota also sent me the salvage value for the minivan that I traded in. I commend Acton Toyota for their business practice on this issue and am pleased that I chose this dealership," writes Marshall Lee, resident of Concord, Mass and satisfied Acton Toyota customer.
Unfortunately, not all Boston, MA area "Cash for Clunkers" customers received their scrap value check like Mr. Lee. The Boston Globe found that out of the 10 Boston, Mass area dealers it interviewed, half stated they did not return the money and two others declined to comment. Herb Chambers remarked "?customers got the government money, which is all they were entitled to." A local Boston, MA Nissan dealership stated "[we] did not return any of that money to customers because none asked for it."
As a Boston, MA metro-west Toyota dealership, Acton Toyota of Littleton is the proud recipient of Toyota's prestigious President's Award for exceptional customer service for nearly 20 consecutive years. The dealership just outside of Boston, MA and south of Nashua, NH prides itself on providing its sales, service, and parts customers a transparent, honest, and hassle-free experience. Most importantly, the dealership strives to ensure complete customer satisfaction.
When determining which Boston, MA area Toyota dealership to visit for your next Toyota vehicle, Acton Toyota of Littleton encourages you to consider its decision to ensure all of its CARS program customers received a scrap value check.
Once you compare, there really is no comparison.

Toyota Announces details of remedy to address potential accelerator pedal entrapment

Torrance, Calif., November 25, 2009 - - Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (TMS) announced today details of the vehicle-based remedy to address the root cause of the potential risk for floor mat entrapment of accelerator pedals in certain Toyota and Lexus models. Toyota issued a consumer safety advisory on September 29 on this issue and has, as an interim measure, commenced the mailing of safety notices to certain Toyota and Lexus owners on October 30.

The models involved are: 2007 to 2010 MY (model year) Camry, 2005 to 2010 MY Avalon, 2004 to 2009 MY Prius, 2005 to 2010 MY Tacoma, 2007 to 2010 MY Tundra, 2007 to 2010 MY ES350, 2006 to 2010 MY IS250, and 2006 to 2010 MY IS 350.
The specific measures of the vehicle-based remedy are as follows:

1. The shape of the accelerator pedal will be reconfigured to address the risk of floor mat entrapment, even when an older-design all-weather floor mat or other inappropriate floor mat is improperly attached, or is placed on top of another floor mat. For the ES350, Camry, and Avalon models involved, the shape of the floor surface underneath will also be reconfigured to increase the space between the accelerator pedal and the floor.

2. Vehicles with any genuine Toyota or Lexus accessory all-weather floor mat will be provided with newly-designed replacement driver- and front passenger-side all-weather floor mats. In addition, as a separate measure independent of the vehicle-based remedy, Toyota will install a brake override system onto the involved Camry, Avalon, and Lexus ES 350, IS350 and IS 250 models as an extra measure of confidence. This system cuts engine power in case of simultaneous application of both the accelerator and brake pedals.

Toyota is in the process of completing development of these actions and for the ES350, Camry, and Avalon will start notifying owners of the involved vehicles via first-class mail by the end of this year. The remedy process regarding the other five models will occur on a rolling schedule during 2010.
Dealers will be trained and equipped to make the necessary modifications to these models starting at the beginning of 2010. Initially, dealers will be instructed on how to reshape the accelerator pedal for the repair. As replacement parts with the same shape as the modified pedal become available, they will be made available to dealers for the repair, beginning around April 2010. Customers who have had the remedy completed will have the opportunity to receive a new pedal if they desire.
In the meantime, owners of the involved vehicles are asked to take out any removable driver?s floor mat and not replace it with any other floor mat until they are notified of the vehicle-based remedy, as notified in the consumer safety advisory and the interim notice.

The brake override system will be made standard equipment throughout the Toyota and Lexus product lines starting with January 2010 production of ES350 and Camry and is scheduled to be incorporated into new production of most models by the end of 2010.

The safety of our owners and the public is our utmost concern and Toyota has and will continue to thoroughly investigate and take appropriate measures to address any defect trends that are identified.

Owners who have further questions are asked to visit www.toyota.com or www.lexus.com or contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1 800-331-4331 or Lexus Customer Assistance at 1-800-295-3987.

Acton Toyota, a premier Boston, MA metro-west Toyota dealership, is proud to announce that it is again participating in the Toys for Tots Program.

The Toys for Tots Program is a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve program that collects new, unwrapped toys to then distribute as Christmas gifts to the needy children within each local community. The U.S. Marine Corp Toys for Tots aims for this program to "deliver a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens."

When asked about the Toys for Tots Program, Steve Jensen states, "Toys for Tots is not only for the kids, but the mothers and fathers who struggle with the idea of not having gifts for their children during the holidays. To have the ability to help make a child and a parent happy, particularly around this time of year, is extremely rewarding."

Steve Jensen and everyone at Acton Toyota of Littleton encourage you to donate to the program and the less fortunate. If you would like to donate a gift please feel free to contact Steve Jensen directly at 978-431-5859 or by email at steve.jensen@actontoyota.

Acton Toyota Recognized By Toyota With Top Sales Honor

Toyota Motor Sales U.SA. just recognized Acton Toyota of Littleton, a premier Toyota dealership in close proximity to both Boston, MA and Nashua, NH, as a top 50 Toyota dealership nationally on a year-to-date sales volume basis.

"We have always considered ourselves to be that 'hometown' dealership in the suburbs of Boston that prided itself on offering unparalleled top-notch customer service. We may now have a hard time convincing most we are still a small store with this ranking, but I'm more than confident our customers will agree we haven't lost our customer-centric focus," comments Mike Hills, GM, of Acton Toyota's top 50 recognition.

Indeed, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the suburban dealership located in metro-west Boston to convince individuals it is a small dealership. Last year Acton Toyota ranked #1 in Toyota Certified pre-owned sales for all of New England. Additionally, the store finished #1 in Toyota Prius sales for Toyota's Boston Region.

The dealership's "problem" of portraying itself as a small Toyota dealership within the Boston area is only exacerbated when a customer visits the one-year old state-of-the-art facility.

Customers shopping for a view can choose from over 500 new and pre-owned vehicles, including one of the largest 2010 Toyota Prius inventories in Massachusetts. It is particularly problematic for customers who visit to service their Toyota vehicle. Service customers at this Toyota dealership enjoy a climate controlled indoor service write-up area, 32 service bays, large and comfortable service waiting area, and separate, enclosed quiet "business center."

Additionally, Acton Toyota of Littleton has its very own café upstairs serving breakfast and lunch. In an unusual twist for auto dealerships, service customers are provided a coupon entitling them to a free meal at the dealership while their vehicle is being serviced.

Yet despite its new size and large sales volume, Acton Toyota of Littleton remains true to its original small and "mom and pop" style form by always making the customer priority number one. It is this commitment by the Toyota dealership just outside of Boston, Mass that has helped it achieve Toyota's prestigious President's Award for exceptional customer service for 18 consecutive years.

However, the President's Award recognitions are viewed not just as a point of pride for the Massachusetts Toyota dealership, but more importantly as a mandatory requirement to ensure customer service satisfaction is always the number one driver.

To contact Acton Toyota of Littleton directly please call 978-263-1500. Also, you are welcome to email the dealership at sales@actontoyota.com.

For Prius, Cutting-Edge Cool is Hot New Norm

By Susan Pack of Toyota Today

To go before. To go beyond. In its third generation, the 2010 Toyota Prius builds on its eco-techno base to provide more power, more mpg and more futuristic features.
Take, for example, the optional solar moonroof that helps keep drivers from losing their cool. While the car is parked, solar panels power a ventilation fan that reduces the temperature inside. As owners approach their car, they can tamp down the temp even more by flipping on the A/C with an available key fob.
It's the kind of option that should appeal to the technologically savvy as well as the simply sweaty. In other words, the broad customer base that Prius needs to remain the best-selling hybrid in the world.
Toyota Division Group Vice President and General Manager Bob Carter helped introduce the 2010 Toyota Prius at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Jan. 12.
"The features and performance of the new midsize 2010 Toyota Prius are superior to anything we have ever built," Carter said. "And along with building a better car, we will make it available in more places. We plan to sell this new 2010 Toyota Prius in 80 countries worldwide, nearly twice as many as today."
The new model arrives in U.S. showrooms this spring, equipped with a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine that pumps up performance. The 2010 Toyota Prius zips from zeo to 60 mph in 9.8 seconds in internal testing, compared to 10.9 seconds for its predecessor.
Fuel efficiency also improves, thanks to advances in design and technology. An aerodynamic stretched silhouette, along with underbody covers, minimizes air resistance, reducing the drag cofficient from .26 to .25. A new exhaust heat collection system uses engin collant to extract exhaust hear, improving engine warm-up time and increasing start-up fuel economy.
A redesigned gas tank not only simplifies the fueling system but also sheds weight. In fact, the entire hybrid system weighs less.
As a result, of the changes, the new 2010 Toyota Prius is expected to get an EPA-estimated combined rating of 50 miles per gallon, four more than the current generation.
Size also shifts. While exterior dimensions are comparable to the current model, the interior is more spacious, thanks to a smaller batter control module and other space savers. The cargo area cradles three golf bags instead of two.
Of course, the 2010 Toyota Prius' propensity for "green" goes well beyond a golf green. Plant-derived "Ecological Plastics" are used in seat cushion foam, trim and scuff plates. Then there's the new cool exhaust gas recirculation system that cycles some exhaust gas back into the engine, reducing certain emissions. It's another potent pairing of eco and techno that should help the 2010 Toyota Prius clean up in the expanding hybrid vehicle market.

Toyota Names Acton Toyota #1 in Prius Sales

Toyota Motor Sales, USA has once again recognized Acton Toyota of Littleton for outstanding sales results, this time for achieving the #1 sales rank for Prius sales for calendar year 2008 in Toyota's Boston Region. The Boston Region of Toyota encompasses Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, and parts of Connecticut. Acton Toyota of Littleton competed against 72 other Toyota dealerships to attain this honor.
"Hybrid vehicle sales, and especially Prius, have always been a focus of Acton Toyota," according to General Manager Mike Hills, "and now our efforts have resulted in the dealership selling more Prius than any other Toyota dealership in New England for 2008."
Acton Toyota would like to inform everyone that it currently has a 2010 Toyota Prius that has been reserved exclusively for test-drive. Additionally, this new Prius is equipped with the Solar Sun Roof Package with solar powered ventilation system. This slick environmentally friendly technological feature uses an electric fan to draw outside air into, through, and out of the cabin once the inside temperature reaches 68 degrees Fahrenheit. It will lower the cabin temperature to near the outside ambient temperature to help make the cabin more comfortable when reentering the vehicle. It must be turned on prior to leaving the vehicle and cannot perform cooling such as with an air conditioner. If you would like to to stop by to learn more about the 2010 Toyota Prius and take this gas-sipping hybrid out for a spin please contact us to schedule a time to visit.
Customers who want to view the available inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles, including the Prius, are encouraged to visit their website: www.actontoyota.com. The dealership will provide a no obligation, upfront internet price quote for online Prius shoppers.
