At our Toyota dealership serving Wappingers Falls, we have always prided ourselves in our professionalism and ability to forge relationships with our customers that have lasted for years.

While Prestige has sold and serviced used and new Toyota vehicles to the Hudson community for over two decades, its roots in the automobile retail industry goes back to 1962 when its founder, Arnold L. Brauer opened a Ford dealership in Madison, NJ. In fact, it could be said that Arnold was born into the business with his father opening a Graham Paige dealership in 1929, the year Arnold was born. Fondly recalling many Saturdays during his youth observing and helping Dad in the showroom, Arnold refers to those experiences as a kind of "baptism of fire."
Arnold, who earned an economics degree from Columbia University, also found the lure of the auto industry too appealing and like his father before him, opened the doors to his first showroom at the age of 33. He purchased his first Toyota franchise some 14 years later. According to Arnold, the keys to success is "selling and servicing the best vehicles made and just as important, giving back to the community that supports your business."
A Dedication to the Community
It is Arnold's profound belief in the product, commitment to customer service and sense of community involvement that has perpetuated his long run of success. Arnold has sponsored and supported a numerous local charitable and civic programs.
These days the daily working operations of the dealership are entrusted Jonathan Brauer, the third generation auto retailer in the family tree, and his partner, Charlie Roszko of Kingston. Jonathan and Charlie are committed to ensuring that product excellence, community involvement and customer loyalty, the foundation Arnold built all those years ago, continue to be the credo by which Prestige conducts business.
With so many years of experience, we at Prestige have come to understand that the value of your purchase, maintenance and repairs is not measured solely by the dollars you spend, but also by the attention you receive and the courtesy you deserve.
