It has been a proud day at Bowater Toyota as our parts advisor Barry Roach received his National Certificate in Business.

This NZQA recognised certification is the culmination of a years hard work, both here at Bowater Toyota, and also in his own time. We actively support our staff to up skill themselves at every opportunity, and in Barry's case the benefits from his Certificate in Business have been put to good use from the moment he began study. 

The course covered a wide subject base of all things business, from business strategy through to front line customer interface techniques, commercial agreement negotiations, dispute resolution and staff management. All of these skills will help us, and also Barry, as he continues to do a great job as parts advisor here at Bowater Toyota in Nelson.

New Zealand Has Got Talent is coming to our screens soon.
Toyota NZ are a major sponsor of the show, and are certainly a very talented bunch in themselves, but more about that later!

For the next couple of months Toyota, and indeed Bowater Toyota as well, are all about the talent, the showstoppers and the star performers.

Our nimble little number, the electric blue Yaris has got a new look and is taking a short holiday at the Richmond Mall during the school break. It looks great out there, and is a stunning deal at just $22,990 with a whole lot of bonus tricks thrown in, like a free 5 year service plan, 5 year warranty & 5 years worth of free WOF inspections to name but a few!

Not to be left out, the used car arm of the Toyota network want to also get in on some star action so have put together this incredible offer.

Give the friendly team at Bowater Toyota a call  - we have some demos of this great 2009 Toyota Corolla in stock so that you can see for yourself what a brilliant performer this car is, and why the Corolla has been NZ's favourite car for decades!

When it comes to getting you, your family and all of the essential gear up to Rainbow Ski Field this year you may need to think outside of the box and make the journey a whole lot more comfortable.
Why clutter up the inside of your car with wet, snowy & stinky ski gear when you can put it all on the roof?

Thule roof boxes have an amazing reputation, for very good reason. They prove time and time again to be the best way to transport awkward or bulky gear on trips, or even just to move the kids sports gear to sports ground in the weekend, or to the beach in summer.

We have come up with some very special prices on a couple of the most popular models to get you on your way.

Hurry to get these deals on the Thule Pacific 600 and the Thule Pacific 700 - they are not going to last for long!
If you are not familiar with how roof boxes work keep on reading to see some in action.
