We welcome to the Nelson Mountainbike Club to our list of Community Partners..... again

The team at Bowater Toyota are pretty excited to be back helping the Nelson Mountain Bike Club again. Many of our people are very keen mountain bikers and we all see the incredible value in ensuring that the local mountain bike scene is healthy and strong. Our new community partnership means they will have an overlay of workshop support to ensure that their fleet remains safe and efficient in the rugged back country of the Wairoa Valley and around the rest of the region with all of the trails they maintain.  

Our Community Partnership first started back in 2017 when the NMTBC first took over the management of the Gorge and it was established that they needed help to hit the ground running and make the most of an absolutely incredible opportunity. We got right behind the team with a new Hilux - exactly what was needed in the early days to get on top of the whole process of running the Gorge and turning it into the premier mountain biking destination that it is today.

Over the years we have been active supporters and vehicle providers for the Dodzy Memorial Enduro, an event so meaningful to the local mountain biking community, and a real connection to the jewel in the local mountain biking scenes crown, The Gorge!
We have really enjoyed this aspect of our support as we have many staff, friends and clients who have always been very positive about our support of the Dodzy Memorial Enduro. It is one of those events that really holds a special place in the hearts of many, and we have felt very privileged to have been a part of it over the years until it ended.

The whole team here at Bowater Toyota, and the wider Bowater Motor Group are very excited to see where this era of our community partnership with the Nelson Mountain Biking Club leads us all. We would love to see all of the NMTBC members in our Bowater Toyota stores around the region for servicing and WOF's. We would love to be able to give your personal vehicles the same level of care and attention we are giving to the NMTBC fleet.
