Meet the Team

Meet the team

We’re a Canterbury owned business, and many of our customers come to us through word of mouth or return when it’s time to upgrade. That continuity matters to us. It means we focus on doing things properly, taking the time to explain, to answer questions clearly, and to ensure people feel comfortable before making a decision.

Buying a vehicle often involves more than just the driver. It can affect families, budgets, and long-term plans. Our team understands that responsibility and approaches each conversation with care and practical advice.

While we’re based in Christchurch, we regularly work with customers throughout Canterbury and across New Zealand. We’re happy to provide independent inspection reports, detailed walk-throughs, and support after delivery. Distance doesn’t change our level of service.

We aim to be steady, knowledgeable, and straightforward. The kind of dealership people feel confident recommending to friends and family.

James Herriott
Operations Manager

James joins the team at Chevron in 2022 as our yard hand. He graduated University in 2017 with a bachelor of science in geology.

Despite this James' heart has all ways been in cars. He recalls a time in his childhood when his father would take him around the city to different car yards to see all the cars, he had picked out of the newspaper classifieds the day before. Beginning a lifelong obsession with anything on four wheels.

When James' thoughts aren't about cars you will often find him thinking about them in a much smaller scale. He is often adding to his ever-growing Hot Wheels collection much to his partners disappear. A collection he one day dreams about turning into full scale.

James enjoys much of his time off out attempting to regain control of his garden with the help of his cats Percy and George.
