About Race Toyota

Our History

The company was originally started in 1921 by L.A. Race. It became a Toyota dealership in 1969. Since then, it has had four major expansions and moved to its' current location at 2155 Little Britain Road just off Highway 7. Having just undergone an expansion in 2005, Race welcomes everyone through the doors of their new showroom.

Toyota vehicles are known for their reliability, high quality and excellent value. These are also the qualities that have kept Race Toyota running smoothly for so many years. Race Toyota is currently the longest running new car dealer of import automobiles in Lindsay. In its long history, Race Toyota staff have worked hard to build relationships with its customers.

Customer service is also about community involvement. Race Toyota has sponsored many sports teams and supported community projects over its history.

I am very proud to be an owner here at Race Toyota selling the best product in the world. I have had the privilege of working in almost every department here since I was a teenager. Having the opportunity to work for my dad was quite interesting. He allowed me to pump gas, clean cars and do janitorial duties after school and on summer break.
