Central City Toyota Awarded With Family-Owned Business Award

Central City Toyota is proud to be recognized as one of the 2019 winners of the Family-Owned Business Award. This award is given out by the Philadelphia Inquirer to companies which have displayed impressive business success and accomplishments over the past year, as well as community and civic engagement.

Central City Toyota’s Story

There are two dealerships that comprise the Central City Toyota company: Central City Toyota and Ardmore Toyota. Central City Toyota has been with Toyota since 1969, and 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of bringing Toyota to West Philadelphia.

Over this time period, Central City Toyota and now Ardmore Toyota have contributed to the local community in many very meaningful ways. We employ many local residents, helping the local economy overall. We have also been a part of several philanthropic efforts in the Philadelphia community, including Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House and the Enterprise Center.

Every three years, Ardmore Toyota and Central City Toyota donate two Toyota Sienna minivans to the Ronald McDonald House. The tradition started in 1985 when owner Max Paul and his wife Sandi decided to donate Toyota minivans to the Ronald McDonald House so families could be transported to and from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Following the donations, volunteers are trained by technology experts on how to use the vans and the new and evolving technologies in the Siennas.

How Central City Toyota Values Its Employees and Community

At Central City Toyota, we face challenges by following the Japanese concept of “Kaizen,” meaning “continuous improvement.” We’re always looking to improve for our employees, our customers, and our neighbors in the community.

Most importantly, Central City Toyota looks to build long-lasting relationships with our customers. Our proudest moment comes when a customer tells us that they’re a third or fourth generation family member who purchased or serviced their vehicle at one of our dealerships.

Central City Toyota will be officially honored with the Family-Owned Business Award at a luncheon on May 16, 2019. Be on the lookout for our profile in the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Sunday edition in late May. You can also visit or contact Central City Toyota here.
