About
Keith Andrews
An automotive mechanic by trade, Keith Andrews also has a passion for boats and spent much of his early career working on and installing marine engines. Fate intervened somewhat with a move to truck sales in the early 1980's, with the opportunity to own his own dealership coming in 1992. Keith has since dedicated himself to building a business his whole team is proud of, with a commitment to providing an environment and level of service second to none in the industry.
Keith's unassuming but highly professional approach has been part of establishing strong relationships with staff and customers and throughout the Northland community. He is still very much involved in guiding the development of his company and particularly enjoys seeing members of the team grow within the business and expand their knowledge and responsibilities.
Recognized and respected for his vision and can-do attitude, Keith's willingness to take well-considered risks has enabled him to sustain and grow the business even during tough economic times. The reputation that has grown along with Keith Andrews's Trucks over the past two decades is testament to Keith's personal integrity, commitment and passion for the business.
