Welcome to Royal South Toyota

Charles Royal moved his family of five girls up from El Paso, Texas to Bloomington, Indiana back in 1968, when he purchased the local Chevrolet franchise. That was his first dealership in Bloomington, and over years, he added many franchises and dealerships to the Royal Group. He added Toyota in 1983! Much has changed since those first Toyota sedans we sold back in 1983--but the family who runs the dealership hasn't. Royal South Toyota is still a local, family run business, and Mr. Royal still comes to work every day with a passion for automobiles.

Mr. Royal started working at his father's used car lot when he was in high school, and never really left the retail automobile industry. During his 20's, he tried his hand at auto racing, even making it into famous races such as Pike's Peak International Hill Climb and the 1953 Carrera Panamericana Road Race. Our company's history changed for the better when Mr. Royal decided he wasn't a good enough road racer to make a career of it--especially to support his growing family--and he retired from racing to concentrate on selling cars. From there, he rose through the ranks of various dealership organizations, eventually becoming a partner in the Bloomington Chevrolet franchise in 1969. The rest, as they say, is history!

Royal South Toyota is a full line dealership offering Toyota Sales, Service, Parts and Collision Repair to customers here in the Bloomington, serving customers near Columbus, Bedford, Elletsville, Spencer, Nashville, Oden, Mitchell, and other local areas. We're also happy to service Toyota customers up in Indianapolis, down in Louisville, and over in Cincinnati. You don't have to be local to enjoy a "small town" dealership experience. And that is absolutely true for our Pre-Owned Vehicle Sales Department, who routinely ship vehicles all over the country!

Royal South Toyota: The Premier Hybrid Dealership of Indiana!

New and Certified Used Sales

Each model of new Toyota vehicle that is available in the Royal South Toyota showroom is one of the leaders in its class. Toyota has come a long way from building only small, fuel-efficient compacts. Our lineup now now extends into almost every segment in the global automotive industry. We still are among the industry’s best in fuel-efficiency, we certainly have one of the largest inventories are hybrid vehicles; but if you are looking for more capability you will certainly want to look at our SUVs and pickups.

Because of the outstanding reliability of Toyota vehicles, they often go on to serve more than one owner. The best of the pre-owned cars can become a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. In order to get this designation, each model must meet minimum standards for age and mileage. If those conditions are met, the car will then go in for an intensive inspection that covers almost every square-inch of the vehicle. Any parts that can’t be fixed or refurbish will cause the vehicle to lose its certified status. Ask a Royal South Toyota sales professional about the additional benefits of driving home a certified pre-owned vehicle.
