Part-y On: 4 Things to Know About Toyota’s Newest Parts Distribution Center

After two years of planning and nine months of construction, Toyota opened the doors to its newest parts distribution center (PDC) in Phoenix in July 2020.

It’s great news for Toyota dealers and customers across the Southwest. Dealers get their parts delivered faster, which means a quicker turnaround for vehicle services, which means happier customers.

Here’s what you need to know about the newest PDC:

 

1. It’s a Game Changer Until now, Toyota dealers in the Southwestern U.S. received their parts from distribution centers in Los Angeles and San Francisco. By adding another PDC in Phoenix, an Arizona dealer could feasibly order a part at the end of a business day and receive it before opening the next morning – something that wasn’t possible before. The Phoenix PDC will also offer same-day service for some areas. In this scenario, dealers could have a vehicle back to a customer the same day.

    

2. Far-Reaching Impact The PDC serves Toyota dealers across Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah. 

    

3. By the Numbers The new PDC is huge – it covers 136,000 square feet and added 61 new jobs in the community. 

    

4. Community-Oriented Toyota has partnered with a minority business enterprise. “We are proud to have community-oriented partners like Toyota, who recognize the strength of minority-owned businesses and who believe in our principles of respect, teamwork, honesty and community empowerment, and we will continue this commitment in Phoenix," said Frank Herrera, chairman of Herrera Mobility Enterprises and president of Koi Distribution
