Absolute Energy upgrades the safety, efficiency and environmental footprint for houses every day, so when it came time to look at upgrading their vehicle fleet, they turned to the team at Bowater Toyota to help them into a range of modern Hilux that are as efficient as they are tough.
Jason came to us 20 years ago as a freshly qualified auto technician. Now he is a leader in our workshop, a qualified Diagnostic Technician, Hybrid certified and a level 4 & 5 qualified Automotive Electrician.
The community partnership Bowater Toyota have with the Nelson Mountainbike Club has been rekindled in 2025. This renewal is an exciting new phase for both groups, ensuring that the club's fleet of vehicles used at the Wairoa Gorge are maintained to optimal levels so that they retain value and keep everyone safe in a harsh back country environment.
24th April 1985 was the official start day at the family firm for a young Tony Bowater. On Thursday 24th April 2025 we held a surprise morning tea for Tony to celebrate his 40 years of dedicated service. Several sides of the family attended to acknowledge this significant achievement, and rounds of the team from Bowater Toyota rolled through to shake his hand and participate in such a momentous occasion.
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.
