Meet the Lake Charles Toyota Team!

Lake Charles Toyota is a dealership owned and managed by Phillip Tarver and his wife DeWanna. They are lifelong residents of Southwest Louisiana. We probably already know you and your family by name! More importantly, "knowing you by name" is a statement of how we are going to treat you whether we grew up with you, or are just meeting you for the first time. We are your hometown friends, and that's how we like to do business. Phillip has been associated with the car business for over 30 years, and has owned Lake Charles Toyota for over 20 years. You can expect to see him here in the store whenever you come in. You will also see he and his family at local functions and at every McNeese Football and basketball game!

Phillip and his staff have received many awards from Toyota for excellence in customer relations, parts, and service. They have also received wide acclaim for their support of our community's activities. They have served on the boards of directors of the Chamber Southwest Louisiana and the McNeese Foundation. Philip has served on the Calcasieu Parish School Board, and the dealership is active as a partner in education with F.K. White Middle School and St. John Elementary. Phillip is a proud member of the McNeese State Cowboy Club, Wheel Club and Quarterback club. A graduate of LaGrange Senior High, his wife and sons are Bucs from Barbe High School.

Our mission at Lake Charles Toyota is to win you over as a customer for life. We do that by developing a personal relationship with you so that we may fully understand your automotive wants and needs. Then, we do whatever it takes, not just to sell you a vehicle, but to bring you back again and again. Free Wi-Fi and popcorn are always included to help keep you connected. We also have a children's play area for the little ones while you wait and an arcade for the older kids.
