Dignitaries from Toyota, including the President of Gulf States Toyota, will celebrate the ribbon cutting of the newest Toyota dealership in the United States at Bruner Toyota in Early on Friday, September 6. The public is invited to join the 11:00 a.m. ceremony, which will feature some unique Texas-themed activities for the guests from Toyota.

Bruner Toyota is located at 224 Early Boulevard, directly across from Heartland Mall. The 25,000 square foot full-service dealership is home to the full line of Toyota cars, trucks, SUVs and vans, plus a dedicated Toyota Quick Lube and Toyota Certified Used Vehicles.

“We are excited that Toyota builds their all-new Tundra right here in the state of Texas, in San Antonio, where they are producing the most dependable full-sized truck in the industry,” says Greg Bruner, President of Bruner Toyota. “We will showcase the exciting new western-themed 1794 edition Tundra, plus the all-new, totally redesigned 2014 Corolla, one of the most exciting cars on the American road today.”

The state-of-the-art dealership contains the newest corporate images from Toyota as well as customer-focused features throughout. Visitors have been amazed at the giant mural across the showroom that pays tribute to the heritage of Texas, with brilliant splashes of color that include bluebonnets, longhorns and the star of Texas.

Bruner continues, “Toyota shares our commitment to being dedicated to the positive customer experience.  We are extremely proud to be installing the very latest technology that Toyota showcases at its largest dealerships.”

General Manager Jim Stanley has high expectations for the new dealership location.  “When we opened here six years ago, we committed ourselves to being a good corporate citizen while, at the same time, managing a professional operation.  We are involved with everything from youth athletics and academics to the arts and the United Way.  Our customers have found the same caliber of facilities here that they would find in Dallas or any other major city.  That’s the Bruner Toyota commitment.”

During the ribbon cutting ceremony, Bruner and Toyota officials will make a joint announcement about a local community partnership that will benefit high school students in the Brown County area.

Toyota officials have honored the Bruners with their highest recognition, the President’s Award, for each of the past two years. Bruner Toyota has exceeded a stringent set of standards that includes excellence in sales, service and the overall customer experience.
