Meet Product Specialist, Mark Grill

06-19-MT-MeetMark
Mark grew up in Bloomer and has been a member of the Chippewa Valley for his entire life. He says that he never expected to find a career in the automotive industry but discovered his place here over 8 years ago. His interest in the product specialist position with Markquart grew after he spoke with a large number of his connections here and he heard good things about our reputation among employees. Mark’s father even worked for Markquart in the early 90s. Even though he never pictured himself in this industry, you could call Mark a natural. He has always loved working with people and found himself around cars all the time while growing up. When he isn’t around vehicles and assisting customers with finding their dream cars, you might find Mark in the outdoors. He enjoys golfing, fishing, hunting and more. You could say that anything recreational is right up his alley. Family is also extremely important to Mark and he says that he often takes his family boating around their home on Lake Wissota. The next time you are in the area, stop by and chat with Mark. We are located just off of US 53, between Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls.   Email Mark

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
