About Anthony "Tony"
Hi, I'm a sales consultant at Rudy Luther Toyota Golden Valley, going on 38 years in the business. I'm from Red Wing, MN, a single dad who loves spending time with my son. My free time is usually spent golfing, skiing (water and snow!), and enjoying the outdoors. I'm a Red Wing High School and Winona State alum, a huge Minnesota sports fan, and love western ski trips. I believe in providing exceptional service and giving clients all the information they need to make confident decisions. My approach is honest, transparent, and straightforward. It's not about a "sale"—it's about building relationships and being my clients' go-to "car guy" for anything automotive, whether they're buying or just have a question. Repeat and referral business is the foundation of my success; I'm proud to have multiple families who've been clients for two and three generations. I've earned numerous Toyota certifications and awards, including recognition from the Toyota Master Sales Society and 5-Star Dealer Rater. I'm also a proud member of the Positive Coaching Alliance, dedicated to creating positive youth sports experiences. I'm passionate about Toyota vehicles—they truly are the best—and making the car-buying process enjoyable. I love talking about kids and sports, so don't hesitate to reach out. This isn't just my job; it's my career.

He was great and I was very comfortable with him. I feel I would recommend him and call with any questions.

Tony was a great individual and a great salesperson who immediately established rapport with me as a buyer. He obviously has tons of experience in this venue and it showed. After the sale, he subsequently followed up and very clearly conveyed all intricacies about the vehicle, as well as associated service plans at Rudy Luther. V/R- Mike Thode

Tony was very helpful in my purchase of a Ford Escape Hybrid. He was willing to drive me to a couple of alternate sites so that I could test drive some vehicles. He was honest in telling me that he was concerned about the condition of one of the vehicles and ended up recommending the one that I ultimately purchased. He and the service department worked with me in fixing the "service soon" light that popped on shortly after purchase. Tony is a friendly guy who knows vehicles. Thanks Tony!
