Auto Dealerships

SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS

Toyota national commercials are funded by Toyota Motor North America, Inc. (TMNA), the manufacturer, rather than individual local dealerships. 

  • Funding Source: As a corporate entity, Toyota Motor invests over $100 million in digital, print, and national television advertising annually to maintain brand image and market share.
  • Purpose: These national ads focus on brand awareness, “halo models,” and national sales events, while regional ads (often with different branding or incentives) are handled by dealer associations, including military rebates.
  • Production and Cost: Major campaigns are often created through agencies like Conill or Saatchi & Saatchi. In 2022, Toyota was among the top spenders in the U.S., investing billions in advertising, including massive, high-cost placements during events like the Super Bowl. 

Note: Local dealer advertisements are separate and typically funded by local dealer associations or individual dealers themselves.

Las Vegas Car Dealership, Centennial Hyundai, Honors Veterans and Active-Duty Families with Exclusive Military Discounts

Las Vegas, Nevada – March 18, 2026 – In a heartfelt commitment to honor those who serve, Centennial Hyundai, a leading auto dealership in Las Vegas, is proud to announce their expanded military discount offerings for veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. This initiative reflects the dealership’s dedication to supporting the men and women whose sacrifices protect our freedom and uphold the values we cherish.

Dennis Trent, the General Manager says, “As a proud American, I’m honored to support our military members and their families. At our dealership, we deeply appreciate your service, and we’re committed to offering exclusive discounts to show our gratitude. It’s our privilege to serve those who serve our country.”

A Tradition of Respect and Gratitude

At Centennial Hyundai respect for the military is woven into the fabric of their business, as General Manager Dennis Trent explains, “I’m honored to support our military members and their families. At our dealership, we deeply appreciate their service, and we’re committed to offering exclusive discounts to show our gratitude. It’s our privilege to serve those who serve our country.”

The dealership’s military program offers substantial savings on new and pre-owned vehicles, as well as special financing options tailored to the unique needs of military families. Whether customers are looking for a reliable sedan, a rugged SUV, or a family-friendly minivan, the dealership’s wide selection ensures everyone finds a vehicle that fits their lifestyle and budget.

Honoring All Branches and Service Statuses

Centennial Hyundai invites veterans, active-duty personnel, reservists, National Guard members, and their immediate families to take advantage of these exclusive savings. With proof of military service—such as a military ID, DD-214, or valid veteran documentation—customers will unlock significant discounts and benefits throughout the dealership.

“We recognize that the transition from military to civilian life can present challenges, and we want to make the process of purchasing a vehicle as seamless as possible,” says Mr. Trent.  “Our sales and finance teams are trained to guide military customers through every step, ensuring their experience is stress-free and enjoyable. We usually find that when active-duty service members relocate to Las Vegas, the first thing they want to do is buy a car, and we are here to give them exactly what they want.”

Beyond Discounts: Commitment to Community

The dealership’s military appreciation extends beyond the showroom floor. Centennial Hyundai actively participates in local veteran organizations, sponsors military appreciation events, and supports charitable causes benefitting service members and their families.

The dealership works with a network of trusted lenders who understand military life, offering options like deferred payments, tailored loan terms, and easy transferability for those who may relocate.

Additionally, the dealership has a dedicated Military Liaison on staff, ready to answer questions and assist with documentation. This specialized support ensures every military customer receives the attention and respect they deserve.
