Toyota's reputation for quality has certainly been in trouble in recent month. While recalls have most certainly hurt the brand, its reputation for quality has not been completely eroded – at least not yet.
But what exactly is this reputation for quality? Just look at this video by Top Gear and you'll understand exactly what's at stake. For years Toyota has been a reputation for reliability that few other automakers can match. Nissan Framingham MA suggests that trucks in particular, such as the Hilux/Tacoma in this video, are what have become synonymous with Toyota's reputation. With only a few minor tweak under the hood, this truck, which is in far worse shape than most vehicles going through Fredericksburg collision center locations, starts up and keeps on going.
Incentives and discounts have keep sales afloat, but such tactics don't typically "repair" brands. If you ask one used Hondas Fredericksburg dealer, it will be Toyota's products that that will have to do that, not their attractive deals. However, it is their products that are expected to be intensely scrutinized in the months ahead.
