About Toyota:
Toyota Motor Corporation (トヨタ自動車株式会社 Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki-gaisha?) is a multinational corporation headquartered in Japan, and currently the world's largest automaker. Toyota employs approximately 316,000 people around the world.
Toyota History:
The Toyota Motor Co. Ltd was first established in 1937 as a spin-off from Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, one of the world's leading manufacturers of weaving machinery.
The Toyoda Automatic Loom Works was then headed by Japan's 'King of Inventors' Sakichi Toyoda. The patent rights to one of his machines had been sold to Platt Brothers (UK) and provided the seed-money for the development and test-building of Toyota's first automobiles.
August 1997 marked the 60th anniversary of TMC. The fledgling company founded by Kiichiro Toyoda, Sakichi's son, has since blossomed into the leader that it is today.
In 1950 the company experienced its one and only strike. Labor and management emerged from this stoppage firmly committed to the principles of mutual trust and dependence, and that corporate philosophy still guides our growth today.
Production systems were improved in the late 1950s, culminating in the establishment of the 'Toyota Production System.' It became known as TPS in 1970 but was established much earlier by Taiichi Ohno. Based on the principles of Jidoka, Just-in-time and Kaizen, the system is a major factor in the reduction of inventories and defects in the plants of Toyota and its suppliers, and it underpins all our operations across the World.
Toyota launched its first small car (SA Model) in 1947. Production of vehicles outside Japan began in 1959 at a small plant in Brazil, and continued with a growing network of overseas plants. Toyota believes in localizing its operations to provide customers with the products they need where they need them; this philosophy builds mutually beneficial long-term relationships with local suppliers and helps the company fulfill its commitments to local labor.
Over and above manufacturing, Toyota also has a global network of design and 'Research and Development' facilities, embracing the three major car markets of Japan, North America and Europe.
In every community in which the company operates, Toyota strives to be a responsible corporate citizen; close relationships with people and organizations in the local community are essential contributors to mutual prosperity. Across the world, Toyota participates enthusiastically in community activities ranging from the sponsorship of educational and cultural programmes to international exchange and research.
Today, Toyota is the world's third largest manufacturer of automobiles in unit sales and in net sales. It is by far the largest Japanese automotive manufacturer, producing more than 5.5 million vehicles per year, equivalent to one every six seconds. In the time it has taken you to read this paragraph, at least another three or four cars will have been produced!

Toyota Customer Reviews:
1.I took my 2004 Corolla in for a new clutch at 186,000 miles. My service adviser told me that if all I needed was a clutch kit install(best case scenario), $860.00. Worst case,$1590.00. Thats if I needed clutch, flywheel, master and slave cylinders. About three hours after I dropped off my car, I got a call from my adviser telling me all that was needed was the clutch because I had driven so gently that there was disernable wear on the other components. My first shock was the bill, $1140.00. next, when I
2.I bought a brand new Toyota Hilux from our local Toyota Dealer and I was surprised to find that the air-conditioner broke down after only one day. I went back to get it mended and the simply recharged the cooling circuit with gaz but this measure did not solve the problem since it happened again after a few weeks.
3.Toyota Financial Services is far the worst company I have ever dealt with. I receive harassing phone calls even when I pay on time. Whenever I have to call, they are very rude. I had asked to speak to a manager on several occasions and had the same person return to the phone and refuse to hand over the phone to a supervisor.
