Wear a mask

- Always wear the mask over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin.
- Your mask should fit snugly against the sides of your face.
Stay at least 6 feet away
- Remember that people without symptoms may be able to spread COVID-19 or flu.
- Staying 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from others, who don’t reside with you, is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.
Wash your hands
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Keep hand sanitizer with you and use it when you are unable to wash your hands. Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol for extra caution.
Consider other Thanksgiving Activities
- While you might not be able to gather, consider hosting a virtual Thanksgiving dinner or activity to interact with those who are unable to gather.
- Try sharing recipes that are new to the table or share old memories with one another.
- Consider playing a game together or watch sporting events together.
- Shopping sales online & with family can remind you of the days spent together flipping through ads and catalogs together.

The internet is the best place for a great deal
- Buying a new vehicle online isn’t always your best option. The lease or finance rate, trade-in price, and other factors play into getting the best deal on a new vehicle. We encourage you to stop in and visit with our finance team for the best possible deal on a brand new vehicle!
Paying with cash will get you the best price
- Paying for a new vehicle in cash isn’t always the best option. Choosing the right finance option for you is important and something our finance team can assist you with.
Your own financing is better
- Most customers think that bringing their own financing is best but when you choose to finance through the dealership, you’ll have access to various discounts whether it’s on the vehicle of your choosing or your interest rates.
Waiting until the end of the month will get you a better deal
- When you shop at our dealership, you’ll have access to great offers and incentives all month long. And on a variety of models, too. So there’s no reason to wait until the very end of the month to grab a great deal. Shop all month long and get a great price no matter what!
Wait to mention your trade-in
- Absolutely not! We recommend bringing up your trade up front and be honest about what you’re looking to achieve when you trade in your vehicle with us. Being upfront with our team can save you time and money. So mention it upfront and let’s get you behind the wheel sooner rather than later!

Make trick-or-treating safer
- Avoid direct contact with trick-or-treaters.
- Give out treats outdoors, if possible.
- Set up a station with individually bagged treats for kids to take.
- Wash hands before handling treats.
- Wear a mask.
Wear a mask
- Make your cloth mask part of your costume.
- A costume mask is not a substitute for a cloth mask.
- Do NOT wear a costume mask over a cloth mask. It can make breathing more difficult.
- Masks should NOT be worn by children under the age of 2 or anyone who has trouble breathing
Stay at least 6 feet away from others who do not live with you
- Indoors and outdoors, you are more likely to get or spread COVID-19 when you are in close contact with others for a long time.
Wash your hands
- Bring hand sanitizer with you and use it after touching objects or other people.
- Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Parents: supervise young children using hand sanitizer.
- Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds when you get home and before you eat any treats.

Hey Toyota friends! Welcome back to another week of helpful blogging tips. This week we are striving to help make you a better driver by bringing you eight popular poor driving tips and why it’s important to shake off those old, bad habits when you’re behind the wheel! Check out all of those details below and if you’re ready to start over and start fresh, our team is waiting for you right here at Simi Valley Toyota! Be sure to browse our online inventory and when you stop in, ask about all of our current incentives on brand new Toyota models. We’re ready and excited to help you get behind the wheel – let’s get started today!
Failing to signal.
- It’s important to let other drivers and pedestrians know your next move so they can slow down and accommodate. We recommend signaling at least 100 feet in advance.
Riding the brakes.
- Riding your brakes can cause excess strain on your brakes. Keep your foot off the brake and only use when/ if necessary.
Rolling through stop signs.
- We know this is a habit many struggle with but to ensure everyone’s safety, it’s important to come to a complete stop at any and every intersection you approach.
Slowing down to look at crashes or construction.
- Rubbernecking is not only dangerous, but can contribute to a chain reaction of slowed traffic and potential crashes. Keep your eyes on the road ahead of you to ensure you’re following road rules or police directions.
Sudden stops.
- Always be on alert and anticipate when you might need to stop. Sudden stops will create excess wear on brake pads.
Fast starts.
- Accelerate at a slow smooth rate, peeling away uses excess gas, and may be putting a strain on the key components of your engine.
Running yellow or red lights.
- Doing so can increase your chance of a car crash. If the light turns yellow before you reach the intersection, it’s best not to risk it and wait for the next green light.
Disregarding the speed limit.
- While speed limits vary by state and are typically posted, we recommend using the following ranges as a general guide if you don’t see a posted speed limit:
-
- Residential area: 15-30 mph
- Undivided road (rural): 40-55 mph
- Divided road (rural): 55-70 mph
- Freeway: 55-65 mph
