Vernon Schoemaker, President and owner of the dealership, served in the US Navy for
three years and then went to work selling cars for his uncle in Amarillo, Texas. There, the automobile business became his life, and in 1968, he came to Irving where he established Toyota of Irving. In 1978, he purchased land on Hwy 183 (Airport Fwy.) and his dream of building a beautiful new facility came true.
The business has far exceeded his expectations and expansion is underway. In 1998, a new pre-owned vehicle sales and service facility was completed. In September of 1999 we opened our ultramodern collision repair center.
Vernon and his oldest son, David recently celebrated the company's 37th year in business.
Over the years, Toyota of Irving has earned many awards. Among them, Toyota's top award, the President's Award, was received in 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2001 and 2002. This honor is given to dealers for their outstanding performance in vehicle and parts sales and in outstanding customer service. Additionally, the Leadership Award was earned in 1994, 1995, and 1996 along with the Toyota Sales, Service and Parts Excellence Awards for the same years.
