Part 1 of 3: Meet the Gulf States Toyota Field Team For the first time in several years, our field organization is fully staffed, and we are proud to begin this series by recognizing our incredible Sales Operations Team. Our District Sales Managers do far more than support vehicle sales. They help drive smart inventory distribution, improve dealership profitability, strengthen customer satisfaction, and champion innovation throughout the retail experience. From analyzing market performance and optimizing inventory health to coaching dealers on digital retailing, lead management, leasing readiness, and customer engagement, this team plays a critical role in helping dealerships succeed. Every day, our DSMs work alongside dealer partners to create better experiences for customers and long-term success for the Toyota brand. Their dedication, adaptability, and passion for continuous improvement are helping shape the future of automotive retail, and we could not be more proud of the impact they make across our region. #Toyota #Leadership #DealerSupport #Automotive

Big ideas. Cutting-edge training. A behind-the-scenes look at how GST is helping dealers stay ahead of the curve. Recently, the Fast + Functional team stopped by our Dallas Training Center, where Alexandra Villman sat down with CW33 KDAF’s Daniel J. Esteve to talk innovation, technology, and the future of automotive training. Check out the interview below! 👇 https://lnkd.in/g_UxxiNj

Big week in The Big Easy! We had the opportunity earlier to spend some time with our friends at the New Orleans Saints and get an inside look at the upcoming season. Partnerships like this go beyond the game. They are about showing up, building connections, and being part of the communities we serve. We're loving the energy and can't wait for next season. #WhoDat! #Toyota #LetsGoPlaces

Sometimes the most meaningful moments come from simply being seen and appreciated. Listening to 2025 Noble Nurse Award recipient Dr. Ming Tzeng reflect on the overwhelming emotions and gratitude she felt while receiving this recognition was both inspiring and deeply moving. 🫶👩⚕️ At Mike Calvert Toyota, we believe the dedication, compassion, and sacrifices nurses make deserve to be celebrated far beyond a single week or month. Through our partnership with The Texas Nurses Association, District 9, the Noble Nurse Award was created to recognize extraordinary individuals who continue to make a difference in the lives of others. In continued celebration of Nurse’s Week and Nurse’s Month, we are proud to host a special appreciation event on May 15th, where all nurses who visit the dealership and present a valid nurse ID will receive a complimentary oil change from our team as a small token of our gratitude for everything they do. 🪪 Walk-ins are always welcome, but appointments are preferred. To reserve your spot for May 15th, simply schedule your visit ahead of time and include “Free Nurse Oil Change” in the description. We look forward to celebrating and serving the incredible nurses in our community. 💻🔗 #nursesweek #nursesmonth #thankyounurses #healthcareheroes #freeoilchange #houstonevents #houstonnurses #explorepage #explore #toyotaservice

We’re fired up to welcome some incredible new talent to the #GSTfamily. Over the past month, we’ve added an amazing group of team members, each bringing fresh perspective, drive, and energy that will make us stronger today and even better tomorrow. Great companies don’t stand still. They evolve. They invest in people. They raise the bar, again and again. That’s exactly what we’re building here.

Three years in the making… and totally worth the wait. The GST Supply Chain Soccer Showdown delivered everything: big plays, bigger energy, and a full-on Family Fun Day to match. Think moonwalks, mascots, simulators, and just a little healthy competition between our VPC and PDC. The final? A 0–0 nail-biter that went to a shootout, where AS Roma Pizza United came through clutch. Conclusion: Supply Chain knows logistics… and how to have a good time, too! #GSTfamily

Another unforgettable Fiesta San Antonio is in the books! For 11 days, this city comes alive in a way that is impossible to fully capture in words. As a long-time partner in this celebration, we love being able to celebrate the history, culture, and traditions of this #community Toyota’s roots here run deep. From the team members building Tundras and Sequoias at TMMTX, to the dealers who serve their neighbors every day, #Toyota is part of the fabric of this community. Thank you, San Antonio, for welcoming us into something so special. #Fiesta #SanAntonio

Strong partnerships drive strong results. We recently brought together this incredible group for GM Service Training focused on what matters most: collaboration, smarter inventory management, and performance-driven decision making. These sessions are more than training. They are an investment in our shared future. When we come together to exchange ideas, challenge each other, and align on best practices, we create momentum that reaches every service lane and every customer experience. We are proud to stand alongside our dealers as partners, committed to continuous improvement and long-term success across our five-state region. #FixedOps #Automotive #Toyota

We were honored to join BridgeYear in celebrating their 10th Anniversary luncheon yesterday and to be recognized alongside The Friedkin Group as Corporate Partner of the Year. Our partnership with BridgeYear is one we’re deeply proud of. Together, we’re helping create meaningful pathways for young men and women to explore careers and step confidently into the workforce after high school. From hands-on career test drives to launching our first Auto Tech Apprentice Cohort, it’s inspiring to see the impact taking shape in real time. Pictured here with our GST team are members of that inaugural cohort, who are already putting in the work, learning, and building their futures. Thank you to the BridgeYear team for the work you do every day to open doors and change futures. We’re grateful to be part of it. #BridgeYear10 #WorkforceDevelopment
