I’ve taken over the sales reigns in the last couple of years moving from being the Business Manager here at Northland Toyota to the Sales Manager.

The team and I would love the opportunity to meet you, and help you find your next new or used vehicle.
Shane McNeil
Vehicle Consultant
I have recently moved to Northland from Tauranga, partly to be closer to my wife’s family up here. I have been in sales for eighteen years and have always worked with quality brands, and I am proud to include Toyota with those. Of the eight vehicles I have owned so far, six have been Toyotas and the other two have been mistakes! I look forward to meeting over a hot drink.
Joe Sikulu
Vehicle Consultant
Malo E’ Lelei, originally from Auckland, Tongan born, I moved up to the mighty North to raise my family. Cars have always been on my radar, so I am excited to have taken that leap of faith into vehicle sales. During my years of experience in sales, customer service and retail management I have learnt that if I believe in something I will achieve it. Stop by, grab a complimentary coffee and I will do my very best in helping you find the right vehicle to meet your needs.

After working in the Motor Vehicle Industry for several years, I have made my way to Northland Toyota as their Fleet Manager. I moved to Whangarei in 2006 and recently settled on a nice Lifestyle property in Waiotira. I enjoy having the open space and being out in the community is a big part of what I enjoy. I’m heavily involved in the local School Board, 4WD Club, Hockey, and Squash, along with my children who love sports. I look forward to meeting you and showing you what we have to offer here at Northland Toyota.
