He said to give more meaning to the above, the company established a Customer Satisfaction Team at the beginning of the year. "The objective is for all staff to listen very well to customers' voices, strive to solve their problems, give feedback to customers and improve quickly on our performance".

He said the growth indicates that customers are developing confidence in Toyota. Mr Dako said the vision of Toyota is to offer every customer the best purchase and ownership experience.

In this case, he said, "the customer is well thought of at each stage of Toyota's operation, as well as the entire period that the customer owns any Toyota vehicle".

He said Toyota is committed to ensuring that they go beyond the world-class minimum safety standard and would also provide Ghanaians with best vehicles suitable for the Ghanaian environment.

He reiterated that the company would bring 3000cc V6 Camry into the market soon, also the automatic transmission of Corolla 1.8L 1300cc Corolla and 2 versions of New Generation Hiace bus.

He said dealers would be located and upgraded in every region to ensure that customers get genuine parts at any part of the country.

He cautioned customers to be ware of imitations on the market.
