Ilya Pinassi
President

I’ve been a mason’s apprentice, high school teacher and even held a corporate position Toyota Motors Sales USA. I joined my family’s business in 2004 and feel honoured to be a part of the lives of the families I work with every day and the clients I serve. My favorite part of my career is making the purchase or servicing of someone’s vehicle easy and more enjoyable. I live in Hamilton with my wife and son who love joining me at TiCats games or for Artcrawl. I occasionally find the time to play some basketball, although this is getting more difficult as I am active in the community through personal outreach and the corporate work we do. I believe in supporting the community which supports us. Thank you Hamilton.

Fixed Operations Manager

I've worked in the automotive industry for over 20 years holding all positions of fixed operations including parts, service and body shop management. During this time I was fortunate enough to take a two year leave of absence to pursue my Olympic dream. During this time I lived in Calgary with the Canadian Men's Water Polo team. I was honoured and proud to represent Hamilton and my country in the 1998 world championships, the 1999 Pan Am Games; in which we won a Bronze medal as well as two Olympic qualification tournaments. I was a member of the 2007 Canadian Men's National Championship team as a representative of the Hamilton Aquatic Water Polo Club. After retiring from amateur sport, I wanted to give back to my city and community and was the assistant coach at McMaster University from 2001 - 2006. I reside in the Hammer and in my free time I look forward to golf, travel and being active with my amazing family.

I have been in sales for most of my life, beginning with the Hamilton Farmers Market when I was just 12 years old. By 16, I was selling door-to-door vacuum systems and I found myself in retail sales by the time I was 18. In 1997, I found myself at Parkway Toyota. It's been an incredible nineteen year adventure. I am proud to have returning clients and I am always thrilled to see them come back for their next vehicle. I live in Grimsby with my amazing wife and our son Joshua Jaxson. We love to travel and check new places off our bucket list.

Sales and Leasing Specialist

Give me a call today at 905-807-8900! My automotive career began in my native land of Nova Scotia; where as a teenager I pumped gas and apprenticed as a mechanic. Almost 30 years ago, I moved to Ontario and was hired as a manager at Wynns Classic Automotive Detailing and Rustproofing Centre. My interest and ambition lead me to create a new automotive brand, called Perma Shield. I married my wife in 2007 and we moved to Binbrook, where I found myself with the opportunity to work for a family owned and operated company - Red Hill Toyota. Today, I am a dedicated Senior Product Advisor and Leasing Professional at RHT, where I have been the recipient of the HBADA Award runner up for the past 7 years. My passion for customer service and extensive knowledge of not only Toyota products, but also comparable brands is how I am best able to serve my customers in their car buying decisions. My goal as a sales professional is that every customer is presented with options and knowledge to make an informed decision to fit their unique needs.

Assistant Service Manager

Like many techs, I began my life in the automotive industry as an apprentice. I have worked as a master technician for 18 years, serving most of those years at a GM dealership before advancing to Toyota. On top of being a Toyota Pro-Technician, I have earned my Hybrid Certification. As a Service Advisor, this experience allows me to have meaningful conversations with our clients and set them at ease with their service needs. I was born and raised in East Hamilton and the move to RHT has given me the opportunity to see old friends and make new friends in the community I grew up in. Outside of work, I enjoy Hamilton life with my two boys. Watching them play hockey on the same rink I learned on was exciting, and as a result, I volunteered as a hockey coach for many years.

I joined Parkway Motors Hamilton in June 2021 as the organization's Capture Specialist and I get to do the one thing I like best; taking photos with my camera! I take photos of just about everything you see on the website and always look for unique ways to photograph our vehicles, events and staff. Working with a family owned dealership is important to me because I see my own values reflected in the workplace and opportunity for growth and professional development truly exists here!
