As one of the leading Toyota Centre’s in the UK we are passionate about ensuring our customers are always put first every day, everywhere.

Who we are:

John Roe founded his business in 1969 when he opened John Roe Motor Sales in Grimsby. Two years later, he was awarded the Toyota franchise and sold 80 new cars in his first year as an official Toyota dealer.

To this day, John Roe continues to be a family-owned and run business, operating four car dealerships and two franchises across North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire.

Our heritage has shaped the way we run the business, so rather than simply inviting customers to buy a car from us, we instead ask you to be part of the family. This highlights the focus we have on looking after you with what we believe to be the highest standards of care and service you will find anywhere in the motor industry.

Joining us as a Technician offers you the opportunity to thrive. You’ll develop your career with one of the world's most prestigious companies, working alongside some of the industry’s best talent. Toyota is the highest ranked Automotive Brand in the world and spends more on R&D than any other company, leading the way in Hybrid and Hydrogen engine technology and innovation. We are constantly evolving so there is always something new just around the corner!

As a technician, you’ll be confident in communicating with different people, asking for help, and following procedures whilst always learning new skills and techniques. As a Toyota technician, you’ll be interested in working for the largest automotive manufacturer in the world.
