Riverside Toyota getting a new look

Riverside Toyota is getting a new look as exterior remodeling begins at the dealership on U.S. 411. Says Skip Welborn, "We're starting phase two of our Image USA remodeling by adding brushed aluminum to the exterior to modernize the building."   The dealership completed an interior remodeling project last year. The Image USA remodeling is a nationwide project at Toyota dealerships.   "We're trying to get ahead of the curve and get the renovation finished before our busy sales season," Welborn said. "The construction crews have told us it will take about six weeks to complete."   In the meantime, the Riverside Toyota staff has been busy repairing local vehicles as part of Toyota's massive recall on millions of cars and trucks.   "We have lots coming in for the recall," Welborn said. "We have a very hard-working staff in the parts and service department that is doing a great job handling the volume." By Natalie Simms.
