Conicelli Toyota News and Events

At Conicelli Toyota, we like to keep our customers informed about current events at the dealership and in the industry. For more, see our newsletter for owners, the Conicelli Nice Times.



Smoke-Free Homes and Cars Campaign Kick Off at Conicelli


On June 27, 2009, Conicelli Autoplex will launch a new campaign with the Montgomery County Tobacco-Free Coalition. County representatives and health care representatives will provide a variety of health care information and tips for healthy living. They will also offer blood pressure checks, car seat inspections, carbon monoxide checks, and more.
The event will take place at 1200 Ridge Pike, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

Conicelli Is the First Auto Body Shop Certified for PPG/Waterborne Use in PA

Using PPG's Waterborne paint helps improve the environment. For a shop that mixes an average of one gallon of basecoat per week, using waterborne automotive paint reduces the emission of VOCs (Volatile organic compounds) by 300 pounds annually.
That's the same as eliminating the emissions of more than 1,000 cars per year.
At Conicelli this process eliminates appx.18,000 lbs. of VOCs annually, that would otherwise end up in our atmosphere. That compares to the emissions of 60,000 cars.

Global Finishing Systems Auto Painting

By controlling the speed of the motors for optimum performance, a VFD (variable frequency drive) provides huge energy savings that were previously unattainable.
All heated booths at Conicelli Body Shop include single or dual VFDs for better performance and energy savings.
By using Orion's leading-edge lighting products, Conicelli saves energy and reduces by 66 percent the amount of harmful greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.
 
Conicelli Service Shops

We recycle approximately 4200 tires a year, the material of which is then used in athletic and recreational areas, alternate fuel sources, and rubber mulch for landscaping.
Ground up tires even find their way back to your car in the form of automotive parts, like exhaust hangers, brake pads, brake shoes, and acoustic insulation; a low percentage goes into making new tires.
We recycle approximately 1400 car batteries per year, of which nearly 100% of the raw materials are used for other products. (Glass cleaner, new plastic cases, etc.)
We collect approximately 10 tons of cardboard materials annually to be recycled.
This reduces the demand for new paper from virgin pulp, thereby saving trees and decreasing the amount of pollution generated in new paper production. Also because cardboard is such a bulky waste, recycling it saves significant amounts of space in landfills and reduces pollution in areas where trash is incinerated.
Annually Conicelli shops recycle appx. 53,000 gallons of motor oil via Lorco Petroleum Services, thus converting it into fuel oil that not only meets but exceeds USEPA standards.

At Conicelli Toyota we are committed to reducing our footprint on the environment while still providing superior service.

2010 Toyota Prius News

Toyota Prius Points the Way to Design Future
The third generation of Toyota's hit hybrid, the Prius, stays true to the line's role as a vanguard of futuristic styling and sports many new elements that will be popping up soon in other Toyota models. AutoWeek* reports that features serving as precursors to Toyota's future design plans include sharply creased corners, the forward placement of the Toyota badge, a lowered grille, and styling that Toyota's global design chief Wahei Hirai calls "free-form geometrics." The goal was to create an avant-garde, high-tech look that also screams green. MSNBC** reports that Toyota's new plan is to make the 2010 Prius the company's technology flagship car, equipped with all the gadgetry the company can muster. In a nod to comfort, the car features an optional solar roof panel that uses the sun to power cabin vent fans that keep the interior from reaching oven-like temperatures in the summer. The LED low-beam headlights of the 2010 Prius also use 17 percent less energy than high-intensity discharge lights.
