About Us
Malcom King loves cars – pure and simple. More importantly he loves Toyota and Lexus vehicles and he has spent most of his life working on them.
Raised in Central Otago, he couldn’t wait to get qualified as a mechanic. “I started when I was about 12 years of age tinkering with cars and used to work part time through High School and then went straight into the trade when I left school.”
With ten years working as a fully qualified Toyota Pro Technician, Malcom set up his own business last year on returning to Queenstown after two years working for Toyota in Canada.
“ I worked for Northern Toyota which was great experience particularly learning about the business side of the industry and everything there was very professional. Because of the harsh Canadian conditions people really take maintenance and servicing seriously.”
His own business, Tech 2U, specialises in personalized mechanical servicing for Toyota and Lexus vehicle customers and he performs services to comply with Toyota NZ warranty standards using genuine parts.
“Essentially my customers are those people who want to have their own mechanic work on their vehicle which means I go to their home or workplace and do all the servicing there for them. I am a one stop shop and carry everything I need to do for the job on the spot.”
Customers range from business people, rental companies and retired folk who simply ring or email Malcom when their car needs servicing or work done. He also does ‘call outs’ and has been known to pull vehicles out of the Arrow River but that’s only occasionally. Visitors to Queenstown or Wanaka also call for one off servicing while on holiday.
“ I have some really happy, regular customers who like to know exactly what is happening to their vehicles. Its quality servicing and workmanship that I stand by – it really is my dream job.”
