Opening its doors at its Te Rapa location in May 2004, Waikato Yamaha is New Zealand’s number one Yamaha dealer and is also the first and only Yamaha Platinum Dealer in New Zealand.
Campbell Hicks wanted to create a Yamaha dealership second to none. “My goal is to have a dealership were customers feel comfortable so customers can walk in the door and get that “wow” factor, and to feel free to come in chat and look around”.
Campbell grew up on a dairy farm and along with his brother spent his youth off road riding with many leading off road riders. He has dairy farming qualifications and experience, along with a business degree.
The Service Department strives to provide a higher level of service, skill and professionalism. "It is important to have highly skilled motivated staff in this very competitive industry". Waikato Yamaha’s dedicated staff, have a wide range of motorcycle experience, in the industry, competitive and recreational riding, and in the farming sector.
With the knowledge available on the internet many customers have a greater understanding of the machines they drive and ride. Modern motorcycles need the back up service that can cope with the demands of new technologies and knowledgeable customers. Waikato Yamaha has developed a team that meet these demands.
