MECHANICAL KNOW-HOW.
FABRICATION CAPABILITY.
Mark began his career in the motor industry at Dan Perkins Toyota, where he completed his apprenticeship and qualified as a trade-tested motor mechanic. Following qualification, he was entrusted with the workshop's specialist performance vehicle conversions, including Toyota Hiace projects that progressed from turbocharged configurations to Stage 3 Brospeed conversions.
His technical background includes formal studies through a South African technikon, specialised Toyota South Africa training, and extensive hands-on experience in mechanical diagnostics, servicing and performance modifications. He later completed Toyota South Africa's Sales Cadet Programme, adding formal customer-care, vehicle product knowledge and sales training to his workshop experience.
Today, Mark combines that foundation with practical fabrication and stainless steel welding skills. His approach is straightforward: assess the vehicle carefully, explain the findings clearly and agree on the work before proceeding.
