HOUSTON, March 9, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Longo Toyota of El Monte, California, the nation's top-selling Toyota dealership for the last 39 years(a) and top dealership of any franchise for the past four years(b), has extended its long-standing relationship with Universal Computer Systems, Inc. (UCS). UCS has been providing Longo Toyota with innovative dealership solutions since 1986, and now Longo Toyota will use UCS' newest server and continue to benefit from UCS' PC-based POWER Workstation software.
With UCS' POWER Workstation, Longo Toyota has a system offering a graphical user interface (GUI) with point-and-click navigation, hyperlinks, clickable buttons, drop-down menus, on-line manuals, and help tools.

Providing software solutions to a dealership the size of Longo Toyota demonstrates the UCS System's capacity to effectively address all dealerships' needs. Longo Toyota has 107 service stalls, services 500 cars a day and sells over 24,000 new and used vehicles a year(a).
