AUCKLAND CITY TOYOTA HYBRID CITY!

-

Hybrid City –the newest addition to the Auckland City Toyota group owned by Rick Armstrong – there’s good reason to party on this weekend.

In the first instance, it’s been three years since the dealership opened its doors and that’s reason enough to celebrate, given the original staff of six has now become a team of 33, which speaks volumes as to how popular the dealership is. Dealer Principal Tom Barrow has aptly christened the Greenlane operation Hybrid City. This store is recognised as a Group One store by Toyota New Zealand, and also holds the prestigiou­s Enviro-Mark Diamond certificat­ion. This means all processes are stringentl­y monitored annually to ensure excellence in our community. “The strength of the business is our people,” Barrow points out. “We’re proud of the profession­al calibre of our people and the diverse range of cultures we have on the team. It’s the ideal ethnic mix to serve a cosmopolit­an centre like Auckland well.”

The Greenlane dealership was the third dealership acquired by the Armstrong Motor Group to showcase the Toyota brand. The site allowed the group to deliver the exceptiona­l service and experience consistent with the Toyota Brand and Armstrong Values.

Hybrid City is strategica­lly located between the other two sites; Mt Wellington and Grey Lynn.

CEO for the Auckland City Toyota network, Anthony Kearns is proud to represent New Zealand’s number 1 motor vehicle brand in New Zealand’s largest city.

“The weekend’s celebratio­ns at Greenlane, are our way of saying thank you to our existing and future customers as well as our community.”

But how does it work, with three dealership­s in the same geographic­al location? “We’re one big family,” explains Barrow “and there is a great deal of cooperatio­n as well as some friendly sibling rivalry.

“Each dealership is equipped to deal with every aspect of automotive retailing – from the sales, parts and service, finance and insurance right through to onsite grooming.

“Right now receive 3.9% P.A. interest *across the new vehicle range!”

To happily coincide with the dealership’s third birthday celebratio­ns, Toyota New Zealand is also running great campaigns, which includes the brand’s extensive and proven hybrid products; Camry, Corolla and of course, Prius. All of these new vehicles meet the criteria for a spectacula­r

3.9 percent finance package, available for a very limited time. Naturally, there is a three year/100,000km warranty available, which offers excellent peace of mind.

On any new car sold, if all the ‘Toyota Capped Price’ servicing stays at the dealership, that threeyear warranty extends by a further two years. That’s five years warranty for the price of three with servicing by factory-trained technician­s using genuine parts. In addition, Hybrid City also has some ‘why wouldn’t you?’ promotions on used hybrid product, including a limited offer of

2017 Camry SL Hybrid models with up to 20,000kms.

These highly desirable vehicles are available for the heavily reduced price of $34,990 and take advantage of a low 7.25 percent finance package with 10 percent deposit over 36 months. Clearly, Hybrid City is well named, given the high levels of activity around the new and pre-loved vehicles available through the dealership. Many customers are aware of how much a Toyota hybrid can save, especially given the extremely low fuel consumptio­n figures. The fact that Toyota hybrids typically have a greater pure electric range than other brands is another highlight. But there is still the question of where do you charge your PHV? There are plenty of charge stations around the Auckland area, and of course, you can power a hybrid from home, but with free onsite charging at Hybrid City, it’s kind of like having an electronic ‘’welcome home’’ mat for you as part of the

Auckland Toyota Group family. Being a full sales and service dealership, means Hybrid City also carries Signature Class vehicles, and yes Signature Class applies to hybrid vehicles too. In addition, the dealership has secured a number of Toyota Certified Hybrid vehicles, with prices for the Aqua (Japanese domestic spec’ Prius) starting from $13,990 with one-year warranty, one-year AA Roadservic­e and one-year WoF check, including that 7.25 percent finance rate.

Take all of the above into considerat­ion, along with the birthday barbecue and stress free dealership experience, which the Auckland City Toyota team has down to a tee. So, what reason do you have for not coming in and sharing the all-weekend, family-friendly celebratio­ns at Auckland City Toyota (Hybrid City), 233 Great South Road in Greenlane.
