Bowater Toyota CEO Tony Bowater, Service tech Ken Gebert (DMT), and Service Manager Chris Westley.
Today the team at Bowater Toyota received another acknowledgement of a job well done with the presentation of a Diagnostic Master Technician Certificate to one of our dedicated and experienced service technicians Ken Gebert.
Bowater Toyota Service Manager Chris Westley and Bowater Toyota CEO Tony Bowater presented Ken with his certificate acknowledging his achievement within Toyota's technical training.
This is one of the highest awards for any Technician and the achievement demonstrates Ken's mastery of Toyota’s up to the minute technology. This technology has helped Toyota gain and retain one of the world’s most reliable and green motor brands as well as being number 1 in Nelson and New Zealand.
Ken Gebert is now an official Diagnostic Master Tech (DMT), and his training adds a new layer of knowledge to the already highly skilled and experienced team with the Bowater Toyota Service Bays across the region. Ken certainly knows his way around Bowater Toyota. He has been a valued member of the team for over 25 years, so has got real world, long term experience servicing the cars of Nelson.
Just one of the many images from The Richmond Mall Security Camera Footage.
On Sunday evening at 8.25pm a brazen thief walked into the Richmond Mall and set about stealing our Bowater Motor Group Information Kiosk touchscreen computer.
He did this whilst the mall was open, and people were coming and going to and from the Fresh Choice supermarket. He was in and out in a very short timeframe, and came prepared with gloves and some quite specific tools needed to remove the entire computer from the stand, as well as open up the back and remove the cabling.
This was obviously very premeditated, and required a high degree of confidence, as well as some careful planning. Thankfully the positioning of the BMG Kiosk in the Mall was such that it was in a very prominent position and therefore covered from many different angles with both the mall's own security camera's, as well as individual shop's camera's too. Currently the Police and making their way through the footage and going back in time to look at who paid the kiosk particular attention recently.
Whilst we wait for the video to be processed so that we can post it onto our website as well, here is a close up of this thief. Do you recognise him, or his clothing style?
As you can see by the image, the thief went to some lengths to hide himself from the cameras, with a hoodie that almost converts into a balaclava, and came prepared with gloves. Surely someone in the mall at this time must have looked twice at someone so obviously out of place.
The Bowaters Information Kiosk is a very specific touchscreen that has been configured to allow just our website and a multimedia slideshow, and nothing else. It is therefore quite useless to anyone other than us, as it is designed to be hacker proof and to be able to be left alone in public at the mercy of school kids and determined computer geeks looking for free internet or mischief.
As such it would be quite a frustrating thing to try and off load, as it just wont work. If you see someone trying to sell an HP Touchsmart 22" TS9300 Touchscreen Computer on Trademe or one of the Online Garage Sale Facebook pages please contact either us (This email address is being protected from spambots.

Kiwis are spending more time at work and less time with their family than ever. Hyundai New Zealand wants to help change that with the launch of The Hyundai Family Time Project, an initiative designed to help give time back to hard working Kiwi families.
The project began life as a way to thank their family – staff, dealer network and customers – for helping make Hyundai one of New Zealand’s favourite auto brands. Now they’ve introduced the opportunity for all New Zealanders to win time together with family.
It’s an ambitious, work-it-out-as-they-go kind of project and they’re committed to making it happen. A big slice of what they would normally spend on traditional media has been invested straight back into Kiwi families and the project kicked off with a year of time to give away. You could win a share of that year.
They’ve already shared 3 months with their staff and dealer network. Then they have six months for our nations Hyundai drivers and 3 months for all New Zealanders. Just let them know how you’d spend a month with your family and you’re in to win. Winners will be selected by online vote so make your story something special. Every entry helps remind us all of the importance of time spent together with family.
Imagine the perfect month together with your family. Tell them how that month looks and The Hyundai Family Time Project could help make it happen.
You could leave work early every day and pick up the kids from school, round up the rellies from all over the country for a series of Sunday roasts, spend a month apologising to your mum and dad for your teenage years or ask your kids to write your entry and discover just how important time really is.
Entry is simple but time is precious, so be quick. Just click on the link below and away you go.
Today is the last day that this great Z Bowater Motors offer is on, so head on down and fill those cars up whilst you can still get fuel at Nelson pump prices!
From Tuesday the 1st of October 2013 our fuel prices will return to the margin they were previously. This is only a few cents more but it certainly adds up over the filling of a large tank of fuel.
We have enjoyed being able to be competitive with Nelson Pump prices for the month (Thanks Z Energy) and we look forward to the next opportunity to pass on these great savings to the lovely people of Motueka and all of the tourists passing through.
