About Ebbett and Toyota
Ebbett Motors, established in 1928, was originally sandwiched between a Chinese laundry and a gunsmith’s shop in Hood Street. They Focused on the popular General Motors products of the time; namely Oakland, Oldsmobile and Chevrolet. These core marques secured the survival of a company bravely started during the world-wide depression by a young Alf Ebbett, who was later joined by his brother Ron.
When General Motors decided to separate its two product lines in 1938, Waikato Motors Limited was formed to operate the Vauxhall/Bedford franchise from the original Hood Street premises, while Ebbett Motors moved to a newly built dealership on the corner of Hood and Anglesea Streets, to represent the Oakland, Pontiac and Chevrolet brands.
Ben van den Engel (our current CEO) joined the company as an apprentice mechanic in 1970. The business was listed on the NZ stock exchange but the Arab-Israeli war and high oil prices spelt the end of GM dominance in the market.
Since then, the Ebbett Group has expanded and gone from strength to strength. Representing 18 brands in total and employing over 400 passionate team members.
Our culture is shaped and defined by our core values. They unite us. They’re our DNA. Our core values clearly describe and define who we are, how we work together and intentionally deliver extraordinary customer experiences that result in our customers raving about us.
Here at Ebbett, we are proud of the reputation that we have earned, based on our uncompromising commitment to living our values and providing the best experience for our clients.
