    David Giesbrecht
    (250) 365-7241

    David comes to us from the storied town of Watson Lake, Yukon, home of historic mile 635 on the Alaska Highway and the Sign Post Forest. Although he is relatively new to the automotive retail business, he brings what is considered the most important attributes of a great product advisor -- the ability to listen carefully and understand and fulfill what his customers are asking. David served several years as a paramedic before joining us, so he's especially attuned to getting things done with conscientious and courteous professionalism. In his spare time, David likes to ski.

    Darcy Howard
    (250) 365-7241

    Darcy was a Product Advisor at Castlegar Toyota two years ago and, after a period in the Creston Valley, has happily returned to once again provide information and insights for customers on his favourite automotive brand. Originally from Portage la Prairie, MB, Darcy is a true automotive enthusiast, and his passion is quarter-mile race cars and performance upgrades. However, Darcy has been a Product Advisor for 13 years, and he believes his overall automotive experience plays an enormous part in making sure his customers and vehicles are perfectly suited to each other. In his spare time, Darcy enjoys the outdoors and has lately taken a serious interest in snowshoeing in the backcountry.
