Toyota. Nowhere else. That's all I ever wanted to work for. I have joked that I bleed Toyota emblems. My Dad, Uncle, and Aunt all worked for Toyota when I was growing up. We were early adopters of the product here in Central Illinois. I think our 1989 Corolla was the first Toyota in Fairbury, IL. I started at Fort's as a Salesman on April Fools Day 1996. Hopefully, I haven't been the fool! It is an easy way for me to remember the date. I had never sold a car or worked at a dealer before, but I impressed the sales manager with my product knowledge. Later, as my Wife and I started a family. I needed a kid-friendly schedule and moved to the service department. This has been an opportunity to meet thousands of Toyota lovers! I can talk Toyota all day with you folks!

How cruddy would that be??? "Hey, I know you just had a stressful moment and your car needs immediate attention... BTW, lets try and sell you a bunch of stuff that will not take care of your concern!". Nope, we are here to help. Thanks for the kind words!

In my experience they have always gone above and beyond in service. We currently have 4 Toyota’s and all 4 are serviced at Fort’s Toyota. Additionally, we’ve purchased 8 Toyota’s over the years from Fort’s More
