Hot Car Safety

In the news two children have died from being trapped in a hot car recently. That makes 15 children this year. Most cases are by accident but as parents this is something to think about during the hot summer months ahead. Our cars act as ovens and can heat up 20 degrees in 10 minutes. That might not sound like a lot but in Texas or many states it can be deadly. Cars can reach 110 degrees when the outside temperatures are only in the 60's! That is hot! Most of the children left in cars die of heat stroke and this isn't what any parent wants. So how can you prevent this from happening? A few inventions and tricks below can help you remember your child.

New Owner Event June

Last night we hosted our June New Owner Clinic. It's always a fun event where we can help our guests understand their new vehicles. During the event we serve dinner, answer any questions, and go through demos of our different departments. From service, parts, and quick lube our Toyota trained technicians were on hand to answer any questions. One of the most informative parts of the night was the service light portion where our technicians went over what each of the car lights means and what you should do when your car light comes on.

Flood Safety

Houston has been hit hard with rain, tornado warnings, and now flooding. The roads have been crazy this week and will continue into the weekend with rough weather. Bayou city is known for flooding and if you are a commuter this can be even more dangerous trying to get to and from work. Driving through a flooded street can cause damage to your car or worse put you in danger! Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind while on the road:

• Flash floods happen fast and sometimes without warning
• 6 inches of water is all it takes to reach the bottom of most cars which can cause you to stall out
• At shallow depths the road is still unpredictable
• Take caution at bridges, overpasses, and underpasses
• Drive in the middle where water is most shallow
• If your vehicle stalls out leave it and get to a safe place
• If a road is blocked with barricades don't try to drive through
• If you can't safely drive through the water turn around and find another route

United Golf Tournament

We had a great time sponsoring the United Golf tournament. Our hole in one contest was a big hit and all participants took home Toyota golf balls. Even better if the Fred Haas Toyota Country golf balls went in water we gave them another box because they were under warranty! Ok maybe golf balls don't have warranties but we wanted everyone to know about ToyotaCare and the perks of owning a Toyota. Check out our pictures from this weekend...
