Continue reading if you are interested in seeing the numerous preventative steps we are taking to ensure our customers and staff stay safe at our dealership. We have also gone into further detail on some of the new methods we are using to make it easier than ever for our customers to access our services.
Preventative Steps At the Dealership
Over the past months, our dealership has implemented the following steps to ensure a safe environment for everyone who walks through our doors:
Our cleaning staff is constantly disinfecting and sanitizing all high-touch areas, including: tables, lobbies, door handles, restrooms, van shuttle seats, phones, and more.
We have added a number of hand sanitizing dispensers in key areas around the office for quick and easy access for every customer and team member to use.
All employees have been mandated to stay home IF they feel like they are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19.
We have based our approach moving forward on the advice being provided to the public from trusted organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
Our primary goal each day at Midlands Toyota is to ensure the health and safety of every person that comes to see us.
