Hello! Let me first introduce myself, I am Terry Buchanan, Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician, ASE Certified Master Technician and a Member of The Toyota International Service Champions Society. I am also a proud husband, father, grandfather, fisherman and gear head.

Most of the people in the USA think Toyota is a foreign company, rightly so; however did you know Toyota has 11 manufacturing plants, 5 Research & Development centers and 2 Design Centers, employing over 365,000 Americans? Toyota invested over $18,000,000,000 in the US facilities and spends $29,000,000,000 buying parts from other US suppliers.

If you drive an Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Corolla, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Sienna, Tundra, Sequoia, Matrix, Venza, RAV4 or Tacoma it was probably made (not just assembled) somewhere like Georgetown KY, Blue Springs MS, Preston IN or San Antonio TX, by folks like you and me.

In future blog posts, we will discuss Toyota's advanced technologies such as hybrid vehicles, all electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. If you have a question about some system on your Toyota vehicle let us know and we will find the answer. Thank you for reading!
