New York’s Gault Toyota nominated to become WomenCertified among elite women friendly businesses

Endicott, NY (January 13, 2010) – WomenCertified® today announced that Gault Toyota-Scion, located at 2507 North Street, Endicott, has been nominated to receive the WomenCertified Seal of Approval, signifying its commitment to women friendly service.

One of the nominations, submitted by customer Brigit P. via WomenCertified.com, read as follows: “I have been doing business with Gault Toyota since I purchased my first car… They tailor their sales process to make me feel comfortable and don’t make me feel silly for any of my questions. It’s a warm and welcoming place to shop for a vehicle and I know that I will get honest answers, honest prices and a positive experience every time.”

After receiving multiple customer-generated nominations, Gault Toyota passed a rigorous qualification process to become eligible to participate in the WomenCertified program and earn the WomenCertified Seal of Approval, which signifies that a company is trained and held to higher standards of service.

Over the next four weeks, Gault Toyota Management and 60 members of their sales and service team will complete the WomenCertified training and certification program to strengthen the dealership’s commitment to providing better service and a women friendly car buying experience.

"We are very excited to have been nominated to participate in the WomenCertified Program. Our participation is part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring the best customer experience possible," stated Connie Gault, General Manager of Gault Toyota.

Once the dealership completes the certification program, Gault Toyota will be listed on the WomenCertified Locator, the online directory where consumers can search for women friendly businesses.

“We are pleased to recognize Gault Toyota for its dedication to women friendly service and business practices,” said Delia Passi, founder of WomenCertified. “In recognizing their efforts, we hope that other companies will follow suit and increase their commitment to higher standards of service – not only for women, but for all customers.”
