Toyota Australia has opened its newest dealership in Yarrawonga in rural Victoria.
Yarrawonga Toyota is located in the Kaiela Business Park of the town with a population of over 7000.
The Yarrawonga site now provides an additional link in Toyota’s dealer network between Albury/Wodonga and Cobram east to west, and joins Wangaratta, Shepparton, Deniliquin, Kooringal, and Leeton Toyota in the Vic-NSW riverina.
Dealer principal Robin Brewer, who has also run Cobram Toyota since the mid-90s, says the Toyota new car showroom, used car department and service department have been a “long time in the making”, Shepparton News reports.
Brewer says developers Matt and Jim Wood, and site-owner Frank Pelicano deserved thanks for their efforts keeping the business park alive through the global financial crisis.
Local tradesmen Steve Richmond (designer) and Kennedy Builders built the dealership, which Toyota southern division regional manager Michael Sistanis says is another jewel in the network.
“This is a great representation of our brand and a great result for the community,” Sistanis tells the local news outlet.
Yarrawonga Toyota is holding a family opening day from 4pm today with BBQs and an appearance by locally-born former Geelong Football Club legend Tom Lonergan who played 209 games.
Yarrawonga Toyota will compete against Pigdon Holden, the only other new car dealer in town.
