Ardmore Toyota has become a staple of its local community, proudly serving the Ardmore and Philadelphia, PA, area. And that’s why the family-owned car dealership is so proud to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year. A Look Back at Ardmore Toyota’s 50 Years in the Philadelphia Area From the beginning, Ardmore Toyota has been more than a car dealership. It all started with a family and a bicycle repair shop in 1905. Max Paul started the shop with the help of his uncle, and Max became known for his masterful mechanic skills. This made him more than capable of running the family auto body shop once his father passed it down to him. Max and his son, Harry, ran an auto body shop before being approached by the Toyota Motor Corporation in 1968. On February 17, 1969, they unveiled the first Toyota dealership in Philadelphia: Central City Toyota. Since then, they have expanded to Ardmore Toyota, but throughout it all, they stayed true to their family roots. Max paired the commitment to excellence he had learned as a Marine with his love of his community to establish the beloved dealership group we all know today. It all starts with the car dealer’s service itself. From the high-quality Toyota inventory to the expert auto service team, Ardmore Toyota has become known for its dedication to customer satisfaction. And it’s paid off. Just this year, Ardmore Toyota was recognized as one of the best car dealerships in the U.S. This award was based primarily on customer surveys, showing the value that the Toyota dealership has brought to the community. But it’s not all about business. Ardmore Toyota has taken their success and given back to the local community. They support a variety of nonprofits, including: the Ronald McDonald House Philadelphia, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and more. Most recently, the dealership participated in the Philabundance Food Drive. Come by Ardmore Toyota to experience the stellar service for yourself.

Most people get behind the wheel, turn the key, and take for granted that their car, truck, or SUV will get them where they need to go. While today’s vehicles are designed to handle the rigors of the road, some are better equipped than others. By looking at a 2017 study, it becomes clear which makes and models stand out. Which Cars Are Built to Last? Looking at the Study Iseecars.com conducted a study between January and November of 2017 in order to see which vehicles were still on the road after 15 years. The study surveyed vehicles from 1981 to 2002, attempting to get a wide range of vehicles. It looked at models from American and foreign makes. After looking at over 650,000 cars, truck, and SUVs, the study had some surprising results. Examining the List The first thing to note is that Toyota dominates the list, providing 9 different vehicles in the top 15. Even more interesting, the top 5 spots all went to Toyota, with the Toyota Highlander leading the way at number 1. The Highlander is followed by the Toyota Sienna, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Prius, and RAV4, with the Sequoia, Tacoma, Avalon, and Camry all making appearances on the list. This information is especially significant because it shows a mix of vehicle types, including sedans, SUVs, trucks and even a hybrid. It’s clear that Toyota doesn’t just specialize in one department, as they have dependable models of every style. What Does It Mean? The list focuses on cars that owners have kept for at least 15 years. These Toyota models were all kept for 15 years by at least 11.5% of drivers, with over 18% of Highlanders still on the road after that time period. The average vehicle, according to the study, was only kept by 6.8% of owners. This means that these Toyotas are about twice as likely to remain on the road after 15 years as the average vehicle.

Read more about the Toyota Tundra Food Drive, how it impacted those in need, and how you can get involved. Annual Haul Away Hunger Event On December 14, 2018, we were able to do our part to help Philabundance, an organization that battles hunger in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the Toyota Tundra Food Drive. During this event we, along with Tri-State Toyota dealers, partners in Toyota Financial Services, the Central Atlantic and New York sales regions of Toyota Motor North America, and ToyotaLift, delivered more than 350,000 meals — an amount that could help feed families in need into the New Year. Over 75 Toyota trucks, including the 2019 Toyota Tundra made the 7-mile trip to Citizens Bank Park hauling pallets amounting to about 180 tons of food, which surpassed the previous year by an impressive 10 tons. The 360,000 pounds offers enough fresh produce to feed 18,000 people for just a week, an impact that many families count on. Thanks to the supporters, media personalities, local sports icons, mascots and cheerleaders, it was definitely an event to remember in the city of brotherly love. Making A Difference In Our Community With Philabundance Philabundance, a member of Feeding America, is an organization that helps fight hunger locally. Hunger affects 1 in 8 people in the United States, including 1 in 5 people in the Philadelphia area alone, which is just one of the reasons this organization is so important to us. Philabundance serves 90,000 hungry people a week, 30% of whom are children and 16% of whom are seniors.

The Ardmore Avenue Community Center is dedicated to helping youth in the South Ardmore area by supporting them with educational, recreational, cultural, and social resources.
