Chris Dugan

Video gamers rejoice - well at least if you live in Japan, speak Japanese, or plan to learn and order an overseas copy of an upcoming Nintendo 3DS game that will work in conjunction with Toyota's high end navigation systems.

For those that aren't into the video game scene, Nintendo - a name that surely rings a bell to anyone who watches even a little television - has released a new handheld or portable gaming device…

A great, warm weekend full of things to do

Chris Dugan

I just returned to my office at Handy Toyota from the new building site, and it's official:  the footings and the foundation walls are in and the site crew is busy installing the foundation drainage system along with the other miscellaneous elements that need to be completed before final backfilling can be completed!  By the end of the day, a good portion of the backfilling will be completed and Monday (October 10, 2011) could...

Toyota Finds Ways to Boost Profitability

Chris Dugan
Along with all the great benefits to customers when it comes to Toyota cars, trucks, and SUVs such as low cost or low ownership cost, high resale value, and incredible safety, comes the downside to the manufacturers of those cars:  a decreasing profitability in a time of high production costs and worldwide economic hardships.  Granted these features have made Toyota the largest automotive manufacturer the world over, which in turn allows for a good chunk…

Toyota Production Update

Chris Dugan
Have you been concerned lately as to the serious lack of Toyota cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans available for purchase?  Though generally available in any configuration your brain can imagine, the earthquake and ensuing tsunami in Japan has seriously hampered production of many of your favorite models like the Corolla, Camry, Prius, and more, while part distributors' own concerns have made getting OEM, genuine Toyota parts themselves an issue.  Luckily for our clientele, Handy Toyota…

Worred About Toyota Availability? Toyota Motors and Handy Toyota Have the Cure for Your Woes

Chris Dugan
With the devastation in Japan due to the earthquake and ensuing tsunami and nuclear leakage, the world of Toyota Motors, the automotive world at large in terms of both vehicles and parts, and indeed many other industries have been sweating over what's next.  Will we have parts to build Toyota Corolla sedans this summer?  Will we be able to sell the amount of Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles we've grown accustomed to?  And what…

Due to the Japanese Disaster, Handy Toyota Gets Inventive

Chris Dugan
I'd like to start out by saying something I really should have said weeks ago:  God bless those poor souls in Japan.  The reason I hadn't said anything until now wasn't due to a lack of sympathy for are brethren on the other side of the world, but rather I try to not to over saturate our blogs with the same point.  Tom Young, Handy Toyota's senior Toyota Corolla sales consultant…

The Mother's Day Gift of Breaking the Current Weather Trend

Chris Dugan
The sun is shining and we are at the beginning of a stretch of good weather.  What a mess this last weather pattern has left us!  Lake Champlain actually set an all time record rising to over 103 feet.  The Luneau/Handy family camp on Maquam Shore still has several inches of standing water inside and until the lake level recedes there is nothing we can do about it.  The silver lining, if there is?

This Blog is No April Fool’s Prank

Chris Dugan
Friday once again and it is April Fool's Day, but more importantly I hope winter will finally lose its grip and we will begin feeling the warmer weather that has alluded us so far.  On the upside, at least we did not awaken to the several inches of heavy, wet snow that was forecasted.

Now that March is in the books, I can safely state that Handy Toyota had an overall good month.  All…

Our Prayers to Japan

Chris Dugan
Hello All,

It's Friday afternoon at Handy Toyota, the sun is doing all it can to shine, and the last day of winter is showing signs of the spring that we all have been very patiently waiting for.  The weekend is forecasted to be bright and sunny with seasonal temperatures of 40 degrees.  To me, this sounds like ideal spring skiing weather and I plan on being at Smugglers Notch doing my share of…
