Community Car

Bowater Toyota are pleased to be able to offer community groups use of the Bowater Toyota community van. Just give us a call, let us know about your organisation and where you need to go and we can possibly help get you there! Our 11 seater van is available for the community to move about safely and efficiently and be able to attend events that might otherwise be a little hard.

Always great service with a smile when heading in for a checkup. Nick, Chris and Marty in town are awesome and nothing is ever a problem. Thanks for helping me keep my Hilux on the road (and off the road a bit as well......)! David Eagle
