About Comox Valley Toyota

The Comox Valley Toyota Team

Administration

Michael Marchi

Dealer Principal In 2017, Comox Valley Toyota added Michael (Mike) Marchi as our Dealer Principal. An auto industry vet, Mike has worked with Canadian dealerships since his college days at the University of Victoria. A small town boy, Mike's humble beginnings pervade his management style. He doesn't sit in an ivory tower barking out orders, he is on the sales floor shaking hands and building relationships. Besides his love for his family, music, and fitness, Mike also holds a passion for people. His greatest joy in life is helping those in need. Mike and the team at Comox Valley Toyota support the community as much as possible. Mike and the staff at Comox Valley Toyota are one big family. They hold monthly BBQs in the summer, give rides to customers without vehicles, bring donuts to those who look hungry, and do everything they can to create an amazing customer service experience.

Alyssa Gaiga

Media Engagement Manager I was born in Victoria, BC but grew up here in the Comox Valley and love to call this place my home. I am Italian, so I have a big, loud family that I am super close with and love to spend time with. I also love to travel and do basically anything outdoors. I'm always down for an adventure! Music is also a big part of my life and has allowed me to experience some pretty amazing opportunities. Over the years I have entered many singing/songwriting competitions and was able to walk away with a few titles - Winner of "Valley Idol" 2009, Winner of "The Great Canadian Song Race Jr." 2013 and Winner of "Sing It Up VI" 2016!

Business Development Coordinator I've been in Comox for a year now and what a great move!

In my spare time, I love to golf, hike and ride my bike.

Reception/Accounts Receivable/Inventory Moving back to the Comox Valley was the best decision for me and my family in 2004 and I haven't looked back.
