It's time for an all wheel drive!

We've got the snow - were you ready? Shovel - check, snowblower - check, snow emergency kit - check, all wheel drive....Wait, you forgot to pick up your all wheel drive? Well, come on over!

At Cedric Theel Toyota Scion we have 10 models that have all wheel drive or an all wheel drive option. Like the 2010 Matrix. This sporty little car is perfect for hauling around a lot of stuff and comes with an all wheel drive option. What a great idea!

The Toyota Sienna Van is another great vehicle and yes, it also comes in an all wheel drive option. Of course there is the great line-up of Toyota SUVs - Rav4, Highlander, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Land Crusier. We've got one for every lifestyle!

Another Toyota you should really check out is the 2010 Venza. This vehicle is engineered so it is easier to get in and out of. You may never have another dirt mark on your pants or coat when you're driving a Venza.

We've got a lot more winter to come, so take the plunge and make driving easier with an all wheel drive from Cedric Theel Toyota Scion, in Bismarck

Last Minute Gift Ideas

There are only 2 and 1/2 shopping days until Christmas. Are you ready?

If you still need a couple gifts under the tree, head to Cedric Theel Toyota. We still have a good supply of caps, t- shirts and sweatshirts. How about an emergency car kit for that frequent traveler, or put together some car care products for those that like to keep their vehicles nice and shiny!

Here is another idea - make some fudge! This is a great recipe and fairly easy to make. The hardest part is standing and stirring for 8 - 10 minutes. Whip up a batch for the mail carrier or the neighbor that snowblows your walk all the time.

Fudge Recipe:

1 ½ cups choc. chips             ¼ pound butter
2 cups mini marshmallows     2 Tablespoons vanilla

Mix above ingredients in large mixing bowl

1 large can carnation milk      4 cups sugar

Mix milk and sugar in heavy kettle, bring to a boil and boil for 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly.Pour over first mixture and stir until melted. Pour into buttered 13x9 pan.

Optional: 2 cups chopped nuts

A Different Kind of Body Shop

Parking lots and intersections can be slick this time of year. If you get an unexpected bump or ding, contact our Body Shop (223.2190) and let them take care of you.

At Cedric Theel Toyota, we know the body shop isn’t a basketball court. You shouldn’t be passed around like a ball from player to player, so we simplified the play book. When you come to our body shop, you will deal directly with the person who is going to fix your car, from start to finish.


The body shop technician will write your estimate, work with the adjustors and get you a rental if needed. This is all before they start on the metal work, frame straightening and painting of your vehicle! At Cedric Theel Toyota, personal service has a whole new meaning.

One of the Body Shop technicians put it this way: “If something gets lost in the shuffle or something goes wrong, it is going to be my fault. I am personally responsible from beginning to end, so I’m going to be extra careful to do everything right, from the paperwork to the bodywork.”

Our dealership features state-of-the-art body shop equipment. The Downdraft Paint Baking Booth and Prep Deck will give vehicles a beautiful factory finish.

Experience a different kind of Body Shop at Cedric Theel  Toyota in Bismarck. Contact our Body Shop or get an estimate.

What's hot at Cedric Theel Toyota Scion

According to the Sales Department here at Cedric Theel Toyota Scion, the RAV4 is a hot vehicle right now. Maybe people are remembering last winter and thinking 'it would be really nice to have an SUV'. Or, it could be the fact that RAV4 has benefitted from years of refinement and offers a whole lot of room and comfort in a small package.

The RAV4 comes in a Base, Sport or Limited model. The Base model comes with many standard features, including air, cruise and a nice audio system with MP3 jack. The Sport has a sport-tuned suspension and bigger wheels, while the Limited offers many luxurious bells and whistles, including a Smart Key System.

RAV4 offers plenty of cargo space, or with the available 50/50 Split &Stow 3rd Row seats, it becomes equipped to haul up to seven people. So whether you're hauling the team to the game, packing for a camping trip or just heading out for a quick shopping trip, RAV4 can handle it.

Stop by and test drive a RAV4 soon! We're located at I94's exit 161, north of the Oasis Truck Stop in Bismarck. You can also shop online at cedrictheeltoyota.com.

Winter Driving Tips

Cedric Theel Toyota Scion Winter Driving Tips:


1) Get your vehicle’s regular service done now. Tire pressure, hoses, and belts need to be checked so you don’t have problems when the temperature dips.

2) Make sure your battery and charging system are ready for the cold weather. Batteries need more power in the winter.  Your cooling system also needs to have the correct mix. We can check these systems out for you in our service department.

3) Check your defrost setting, windshield wipers and washer fluid level. Make sure you have a good ice scraper and brush in your vehicle. If you have a rear-window defroster, check that out as well. Clear off your car, windows and head lights and taillights before driving off. You need to be able to see clearly, and others need to be able to see you.

4) Stash a winter survival kit. Include the following: a sleeping bag; extra clothing; flashlight; water; shovel; blanket; flares. The Parts Department at Cedric Theel Toyota Scion has a roadside assistance kit – what a great gift idea!

5) Keep your cellular phone charged.

6) Know how to stop on the ice – do you have antilock brakes, traction control or front-wheel drive? Each will handle a bit differently in snowy conditions.

Drive safely this winter!
