Hey, everybody! Check it
out. The new Prius C has arrived here at Checkered Flag
Toyota.
Yep, you heard me. That's
C as in "city," but I'd say it stands for "cool."
Seriously. What else could you call a ride that fits four
adult passengers comfortably, fits into the tiniest of spaces, and gets a
record 53 miles per gallon…
One of the most important factors for
today's Hampton Roads
automotive customer to consider is engine type.
Never before have there been so many choices to optimize our drivers'
fuel budget while still meeting comfort, style, and assorted driving

staff has to be familiar with the competition to help our customers make

Wouldn't it be great if your car would just send you
a reminder message when it was time for an oil change? What
if your teenage daughter's car could alert you when her tire pressure is
