Classic Toyota FJ Commercial

For Throwback Thursday we thought we  would share this Classic Toyota FJ Commercial.

 

If you have not gotten a chance to see our beautiful 1970 Land Cruiser FJ40, Come by to Toyota of El Cajon!

Located right behind the front desk, the car was originally purchased in San Diego by Mr. Patrick Edwards in 1970.In 2003, after a little over 30 years of standing still, we at Toyota of El Cajon had the pleasure of being able to buy the car from Mr. Edwards. It arrived to the dealership and after re-filling the fluids we had it up and running like new the very next day.

Our Land Cruiser now only has 3,883 miles on it, still has its original color coating, and the only thing we have done to it is change some of the seals due to weathering.

Check out our Facebook album to see pictures of our 1970 Land Cruiser FJ40.

Throwback Thursday!

It’s Throwback Thursday again! For years the Kaminsky Family and Toyota of El Cajon have expressed a strong commitment to our community and local charities. They have been featured in Time Magazine and People Weekly for their significant contributions.

 The Kaminsky’s goal is to keep Toyota of El Cajon as an active member of the community.

Here are a few throwback pictures of our past involvement and are looking forward to many more.

Bluetooth Technology in Vehicles!

 Bluetooth wireless technology is built into a wide range of products from medical devices to cars and mobile phones. Bluetooth technology was in invented in 1994 by engineers at Ericsson, a Swedish company. In 1998 a group of companies formed the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), as a way to connect their products. The organization is devoted to maintain the technology and allow for no single company to “own” Bluetooth technology,

  From an automotive perspective, Bluetooth offers the ability to utilize your personal cellphone through an in-car system. It offers safety and convenience of a factory installed car phone combined with the freedom of a handheld cellphone. Using Bluetooth simply changes the device on which your calls are received. Your phone number stays the same and charges appear on your regular cell phone bill. Drivers can operate their cell phones either through the cars controls or via hands free voice activation.

 We have provided a video tutorial on how to pair your Bluetooth device with a 2013 Camry.

Toyota of El Cajon to Host Free Weekend eWaste Recycling Event in Honor of Earth Day

San Diego, CA – Recycle San Diego and Toyota of El Cajon have partnered to host a weekend-long eWaste Recycling Event in celebration of Earth Day. The event will run on Saturday and Sunday April 20-21 from 10am-2pm in the auto dealership’s parking lot at 965 Arnele Ave in El Cajon.

Jeffrey Harding, the Founder and President of Recycle San Diego, is happy to partner with an auto company with a strong environmental commitment as demonstrated by their award winning eco-friendly facility. “It is important to not only design and build environmentally-friendly businesses, but people should also remember to help protect our environment by diverting heavy metals and toxic substances from our local landfills. Older cathode ray tube (CRT) TV sets typically contain four pounds of lead, and we are committed to educating the public about safe and legal eWaste disposal.”

Items that can be recycled at the eWaste recycling event include: computers, monitors, TVs, laptops, cables, printers, fax machines, scanners, DVD players, VCRs, and other electronic items.

Recycle San Diego wishes to remind the public that it is illegal to dispose of e-Waste in the trash and California requires companies to recycle their e-Waste. California currently has the most comprehensive landfill ban in the nation, curbing both the illegal disposal and export of the largest category of toxic electronics which includes CRT TVs and computer monitors. 

Founded in 2006, Recycle San Diego is the #1 community resource for San Diego County, providing the most universal and innovative waste collection systems in the industry. Recycle San Diego believes in safe, environmentally friendly ways to reuse, repurpose, and recycle electronics of all types. “We recycle anything that plugs in or runs on batteries!”
