Evie Peace
Business Manager
I have been with Manukau Toyota Group for 4 years, starting as a Parts and Service Advisor at our Papakura store. What gives me the most satisfaction from this role is seeing the smiles on customers' faces. I believe in our brand and feel privileged to represent Toyota. What I love about Toyota Personalised Finance is that it takes each customer’s specific situation into account. Each customer is assessed on a case-by-case basis, leaving them with that personalised experience and a finance rate tailored to them. I haven’t found a Toyota that I don’t like to drive but my favourite would have to be the Yaris Cross.
Mark Meiring
Business Manager
It’s coming up to two years since I started with Manukau Toyota Group. I began as a Service Advisor at Papakura Toyota after my small business was impacted by COVID – I then branched into a Business Manager role in 2021. Helping folks to buy a Toyota is very rewarding as I know they are making a good purchasing decision by choosing an asset with renowned reliability. With Toyota Personalised Finance we can make customers very happy by rewarding them for their good financial habits. My all-time favourite Toyota is the legendary Supra, but the new Corolla GR is already on the list!
