Toyota Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, the nation’s most trusted mobility and logistics solutions provider, marked another important milestone in its islandwide expansion with the opening of a new Body & Paint Center in Kurunegala and the groundbreaking of a new General Service Facility on 13 August 2026.
With over 30 years of presence in Sri Lanka, Toyota Lanka continues to strengthen its footprint across the country by bringing trusted customer care, professional after-sales support, and dependable mobility solutions closer to communities. Kurunegala has remained an important part of this journey since Toyota Lanka established its presence in the heart of Athugalpura (ඇතුගල්පුර) in 2008.
The newly opened Body & Paint Center brings professional body repair and paint services closer to customers in Kurunegala and surrounding areas, supported by Toyota’s trusted standards of Quality, Durability, Reliability, and Safety. The upcoming General Service Facility will further enhance access to professional vehicle maintenance and after-sales support, creating a more comprehensive service experience for customers in the region.
The ceremonies were graced by Toyota Lanka Chairman, Mr. Masaaki Kawabata, and Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Manohara Atukorala, together with the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Kurunegala, distinguished guests, customers, banking and insurance partners, and other invited stakeholders. Religious observances and blessings were also held as part of the occasion.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Masaaki Kawabata highlighted Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda’s concept of being “Best in Town.” He noted that wherever Toyota establishes its presence, the aim is to become a meaningful part of the community and contribute to its progress. He further stated that Toyota Lanka considers it a privilege to strengthen its relationship with the Kurunegala community and continue serving customers in the region.
Mr. Manohara Atukorala highlighted that Toyota Lanka’s ongoing network expansion is focused on making professional service and customer care more convenient and accessible across the country. He noted that each new and upgraded facility brings Toyota Lanka closer to the communities it serves and supports the company’s goal of developing 30 facilities across Sri Lanka by the end of 2026.
The occasion also reflected Toyota Lanka’s LIFE philosophy: Loyalty, Integrity, Fairness and Ethics, which guides the company in building trusted and long-term relationships with customers, employees, partners, and communities.
Toyota Lanka’s contribution to Sri Lanka also extends beyond mobility, with the company continuing to support national skills development in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, focusing on developing technical knowledge and future-ready skills among young Sri Lankans.
Toyota Lanka’s after-sales strength is reflected in the value it continues to deliver to customers throughout their ownership journey. With over 3 million services completed, the company continues to provide dependable maintenance and professional care, helping customers keep their vehicles performing at their best. Through Rs. 200 billion in spare parts distribution, Toyota Lanka has also strengthened the availability of Toyota Genuine Parts across the country, helping customers gain convenient access to trusted parts and support through its wider network. Toyota Lanka has further completed over 300,000 body and paint repairs, reinforcing its commitment to stand by customers when they need support the most. Whether following an accident or when restoring a vehicle to its proper condition, Toyota Lanka’s Body & Paint services are focused on delivering trusted workmanship, reassurance, and care.
The company’s commitment to excellence was further recognized in 2025 with the Customer Delight Excellence Award (CDEA) – Gold, Toyota Warranty Kaizen Award, and Toyota Sales and Marketing Award.
The opening of the Body & Paint Center and the groundbreaking of the General Service Facility further reinforce Toyota Lanka’s commitment to Kurunegala and form part of its broader effort to strengthen the service network across Sri Lanka, bringing trusted customer care and mobility solutions closer to customers.
