Tobi Bothma - Sales Consultant

Born in South Africa and now a proud citizen of Canada, I have called the west coast home for the last 6 years. With a passion for cars and a greater passion for people, my new home is at Harris Mitsubishi.

I have an eye for design and detail, especially when it comes to automobiles, I designed 2 of my own concept cars when I attended VanArts school of 3D Design in 2005. I get really excited when cool new technology hits the market and can't stop myself from sharing my discoveries with others. I believe in the power of honesty and loyalty in relationships; going the extra mile to ensure a solid foundation for business. I love meeting new people and enjoy making them feel at home in my environment, that is a crucial part of what I do. I help great people find great automobiles, ultimately improving their lives.

Devon Aube - Sales Consultant

Born in Miramichi New Brunswick, Devon relocated to Vancouver Island when he was 8 years old.  After a short break from car sales, Devon has returned to the Harris Mitsubishi family because he missed the atmosphere created by a young enthusiastic team, and the excitement of new Mitsubishi owners. "My goal here at the dealership is to work hard for each of my clients and make their car buying experience easy and fun.  In my time at the dealership I have met a lot of great people (both co-workers and customers) and have had a lot of fun showing people why Harris Mitsubishi is a great place to purchase and service their vehicles."
