Taking on the payments and fees associated with your new car is already a big responsibility, so maintenance and roadside mishaps are the last things you want to worry about. Luckily, with ToyotaCare, you don’t have to. When you opt into this zero-cost warranty plan, you’ll enjoy factory-recommended Toyota service in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and more — all on Toyota. Let’s review some of the perks below. Peace of Mind Comes Standard With ToyotaCare No Cost Maintenance Under ToyotaCare, select vehicles qualify for routine maintenance for the first 2 years or 2,500 miles from the date of first use — whichever comes first.* That means fluid level adjustments and engine oil and filter changes are completely covered at their manufacturer-suggested intervals. So are multi-point inspections. And when you need parts replaced? We’ll switch them out with Genuine Toyota parts. Roadside Assistance You can’t foresee everything the road’s going to throw at you. That’s why ToyotaCare makes roadside assistance available for the first 2 years of ownership.** The best part? Mileage restrictions don’t apply. Who hasn’t experienced one of those days when they’ve left their keys in the ignition or their car won’t start? It’s a good thing that battery jump-starts, lockout protection, and emergency fuel delivery are all included in the plan. And if you find yourself in a rut, ToyotaCare’s roadside assistance also offers towing, winching, and tire services. Schedule Toyota Service in Philadelphia We’re proud to honor ToyotaCare for applicable vehicles at Central City Toyota. Contact our dealership today and speak with one of our friendly customer service representatives for more details. * Applies to normal factory scheduled service for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.

On Tuesday August 4 th, Max Paul’s Central City Toyota hosted camp students from The Enterprise Center at 46 th and Market in University City, Philadelphia. Malyka Sankofa, Director of Women and Youth Programs for The Enterprise Center, brought over 40 summer camp youth students on a walking trip to Central City Toyota.  Students had the opportunity to do what most teens never have the chance to do and see the inner workings of a car dealership and learn about car ownership.  Students learned the importance of saving to purchase an auto and were educated on the terminology involved in how to negotiate for a new car.  Malyka wanted the students to understand that their purchase should be made at a dealership in their community because support of a community business helps their community’s economy. Students asked some of the most amazing questions to Jamie Haberle, General Manager of Central City Toyota. We thank Malyka and The Enterprise Center for bringing this amazing group of students to Central City Toyota. The Enterprise Center is dedicated to serving the community through entrepreneurial and leadership endeavors.  Please join www.TheEnterpriseCenter.com in helping to make Philadelphia a quality place to live and do business.
