Toyota Repair in St. Catharines, ON

A Brief History of Toyota from Boyd Automotive & Tire

Toyota started as a division of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works that was devoted to the production of cars under the direction of the founder's son, Kiichiro Toyoda. Toyota Motor Company became its own entity in 1937. The SA was Toyota's first commercial passenger car after World War II. However, because of the economic decline of Japan after the Second World War, Toyota was on the verge of bankruptcy. In June 1950, Toyota only produced 300 trucks and announced several layoffs and reduction in pay, which caused a union strike that lasted for two months. The result of this strike was the resignation of Kiichiro Toyoda and Taizo Ishida became the president of Toyota. Toyota was saved during the Korean War by producing over 5,000 vehicles for the United States military.

In 1957, the Toyota Crown became the first Japanese car to be exported to the United States and Toyota Motors Inc. U.S.A. was established on October 31, 1957. The Crown and Toyota Land Cruiser remained the most popular Toyota vehicles until the introduction of the Toyota Corona, which was designed specifically for American drivers. The Corona tripled Toyota sales to more than 20,000 units. By July 1967, Toyota became the third best-selling import brand in the United States. The Toyota Corolla was introduced in 1968 and was a huge success among American drivers. Today, the Toyota Corolla has become the world's best-selling passenger car of all time, with over 30 million cars sold in 140 different countries. Given this, it's no wonder that so many St. Catharines and Fonthill residents choose to drive a Toyota. When your Toyota needs transmission repair, scheduled maintenance, brake repair, or anything else, we at Boyd Automotive & Tire can take care of your vehicle.
