Meet Our Friendly Shuttle Drivers

Free Shuttle We know that life doesn’t stop just because you’re in need of auto repairs or an oil change. This is why Markquart Toyota offers free shuttle service while your vehicle is being repaired. Our team of friendly shuttle drivers will get you to where you need to go. Bob R. is the veteran of the group. After working for Markquart Motors in the Parts Department for six years, Bob came to Toyota to be a shuttle driver. It’s been six years since then and he’s put on a lot of miles since! He always has a friendly smile and positive attitude, which makes every trip with him a pleasant one. Shuttle driver Steve has been with Markquart Toyota for a little over a year, and he works in the lanes, greeting customers when he’s not driving the shuttle van. He’s quick with a joke and loves to make people laugh. Having been a 7th-grade math teacher for 36 years, he’s got to have a good sense of humor! Bob H. is one of the newer shuttle drivers with three months under his belt already. Before coming to Markquart, Bob was a local machinist for 30-plus years. He is quite the gentleman, and has six grandkids he loves spending time with. Jim is also fresh to the team of shuttle drivers by two months. He loves to fish and tries his hand at golf occasionally. He may be a former postal worker and is one of the nicest guys you’ll meet, so you’ll be lucky to get a ride with him. All shuttle drivers agree that the best part about their jobs is the people that they get to know as they’re driving around the city. Next time you’re in need of auto repairs or maintenance, schedule an appointment with Markquart Toyota Service. Our friendly shuttle drivers will work around your schedule so that you don’t miss a moment while your vehicle is being serviced! Schedule Service

Toyota Parts

Congratulations to Parts Manager, Tom Jakowicz, on 25 years with Markquart!

Thank you, Tom! Tom Jakowicz has been at Markquart for 25 years and has loved every minute of it. He started his career at the Markquart Motors location as a parts associate, and after working there for three years, he moved away from the area. Once he returned to the Chippewa Valley, he was working for a local parts store when he was recruited to join the team at Markquart Toyota, and the rest is history. For Tom, the best part about working at Markquart is the customers and coworkers. He loves helping people, and there’s never a day that he doesn’t feel like coming to work. Over his 25 years, Tom has made a lot of memories; one of his favorites is moving into the new and improved Markquart Toyota building on Commercial Blvd. Outside of work, Tom enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife Roxann and daughter Rayna. He loves to bow hunt and holds the record for the biggest whitetail buck ever shot with a bow in Chippewa County. An interesting fact is that Tom knows how to play the guitar, and has even played with local rock bands in the past. We are lucky to have someone as kind and knowledgeable as Tom on our team. Join us in congratulating him on his 25 th anniversary! CONGRATULATE TOM
