Congratulations Tri County Toyota team for all the rave reviews! 

"Rick was so helpful from begining to end. He explained the financing and process very clearly and was extremely friendly yet professional. He made us laugh and really made the whole experience better. I felt like he was just as excited for me to get my new car as I was!" - sinfanti

"The staff is friendly and helpful. The dealership is clean and orderly. They got us into a new car quickly. I felt the pricing on the new model car was fair and the trade in value on target. Financing was easy. Haven't had any problems with the service department either for our other vehicle." -deeanne68

"I searched the web looking for a pre-owned 2005 Toyota RAV4 and found it at Tri-County Toyota. I made e-mail contact with Sales Associate Nick Fisher on a Friday expressing my interest in the car. While Tri-County is about an hour away from me and I had never done business with the dealership , I nevertheless visited them the following Monday. I wasn't disappointed! The car (8 years old with 66,000 miles) was immaculate! Nick covered all the details and answered all the questions I had. I couldn't have asked for a better car-buying experience. I highly recommend Tri-County Toyota and Nick Fisher to anyone in the market for a vehicle!" - rcbushnell

Toyota and National Center for Family Literacy Launch $10 Million Initiative



 
 
 New initiative kicks off by accepting grant applications from local organizations to further family learning beyond the classroom and into homes and communities

Louisville, Ky. – May 13, 2013 – Toyota and the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) are launching Toyota Family Learning, a six-year initiative that will create a new model for literacy by expanding it beyond the walls of the classroom and into homes and communities. This new initiative will engage families in learning together both online and offline, incorporating digital elements launching later this year, including a website, mobile app, social media and more. Today, the first phase of Toyota Family Learning goes live: a grant program for communities to fund new family mentor and service learning programs targeting vulnerable families.

Five organizations will be awarded a three-year, $175,000 grant, in addition to a wide range of NCFL training and communication support, learning items and materials. Fifteen grants will be awarded over the course of the six-year initiative. Schools, libraries and community-based organizations that provide services to families are eligible to apply. Submissions are being accepted now through June 24 at www.toyotafamilylearning.org. Submissions will be evaluated on a number of factors, including strength of existing services, commitment from community partners, and strength and innovation of proposal. Grant recipients will be notified in July.

“The vision for Toyota Family Learning is to become a modern-day movement for families learning together and this grant program launch is the first of many steps we’ll be taking in the coming months and years to make that vision a reality,” said Sharon Darling, president and founder, NCFL. “The components of this initiative are all rooted in increasing Parent and Child Together (PACT) Time® that is so critical to improving family literacy.”

“For over 20 years, we’ve been proud and humbled by our partnership with NCFL, which has helped more than one million families learn and grow together,” said Patricia Salas Pineda, group vice president of National Philanthropy and the Toyota USA Foundation at Toyota Motor North America. “We’re excited to build on this with the new Toyota Family Learning initiative and look forward to seeing how local community organizations will help expand our work beyond the classroom and into homes and communities.”

This new initiative is the latest in Toyota’s long-standing support of NCFL’s mission to advance family learning and literacy. Since 1991, Toyota has been a strategic partner to NCFL, providing more than $36 million to fund 256 literacy programs nationwide and impacting more than 1 million families. Program highlights include:

• Toyota Family Literacy Program: brings parents and children from immigrant families together in a classroom to learn and engage with culturally relevant programming.

• Toyota Teacher of the Year award: annually recognizes individual educators for their efforts to improve literacy among learners of all ages. The winner receives a $20,000 grant to implement his or her classroom project.

• Toyota Families in Schools: establishes learning services in schools and engages parents and at-risk students aged 5 to 12 years old by providing academic and home-life support.

Windshield Wiper Wear




Windshield wiper blades are an important part of any vehicle that help to ensure the safety of the occupants. If your windshield wipers are not working properly, it can become difficult to see in heavy precipitation, which can increase the chances of having an accident. It is a good idea to learn as much as you can about windshield wiper replacement so that you'll know when it's time to change a windshield wiper that could be defective. How often you should change windshield wiper blades depends on how much they are used, so the following will tell you all you need to know about when to change wiper blades, based on local climate.
Cold Climates
If you live in a climate that has cold, snowy winters replace the windshield wiper blades at least once per year, preferably in the fall. People who live in areas that get lots of snow and rain use their windshield wipers more, so they wear out faster. Also, the grit and salt used to melt ice on winter roads can make the rubber blades wear out more quickly.
Dusty or Sandy Regions
In regions with little rainfall but a lot of dust and sand in the air, such as desert areas, the windshield wipers are used less frequently but the grit that accumulates on the windshield makes them wear out surprisingly fast. In this type of area, it is best to change the wiper blades at least once per year, but you should check them every couple of months to make sure they are still in good working order.
