Priority Toyota Chesapeake

What Priority Toyota Chesapeake does

Priority Toyota Chesapeake is a single-location, authorized Toyota franchise automotive dealership headquartered at 1800 Greenbrier Parkway, Chesapeake, Virginia, founded in 1999 and currently employing approximately 108 staff. The company sells new Toyota vehicles (sedans including Camry and Corolla, SUVs including RAV4 and Highlander, trucks including Tacoma and Tundra, minivans, and an expanding lineup of hybrid and electrified models including the bZ battery-electric and Mirai fuel-cell vehicles), certified pre-owned Toyotas, and a broad used-vehicle inventory. Beyond vehicle sales, the dealership operates a Master Toyota technician service department, a Toyota Collision Center, a parts and accessories business, and a tire center, with financing arranged through Toyota Financial Services and external lenders.

The business model is a vertically integrated franchise retail operation: revenue is generated through one-time vehicle transactions (new and used sales), transaction-fee financing/F&I income, recurring service and maintenance, collision repair work, parts and accessories sales, and protected add-on products such as vehicle protection packages, lifetime powertrain warranties via the Priorities for Life program, and ToyotaCare Plus maintenance plans. Multi-channel distribution combines a physical showroom with Toyota's SmartPath online shopping platform and a multi-channel digital marketing presence (search, social, email, paid display). The customer base is broadly distributed across individual consumers in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area, with segmented programs targeting military personnel (Priority Military Rewards) and recent college graduates (College Rebate).

The dealership is privately held and is part of the Lithia Motors, Inc. (NYSE: LAD) dealership network, with Lithia providing corporate scale benefits in inventory financing, F&I product access, marketing, and operational support. In 2023, the dealership received the Toyota President's Award, recognizing top-tier performance in sales, customer satisfaction, and operations within the Toyota dealer network.
