WEINS Auto Group (Pronounced "Waynes"), established in 1973 as the Don Valley Automotive Group, an extension of the Japanese business, Yokohama Toyopet. Since then, we have grown into one of Canada's largest and most prominent groups, running 15 dealerships across Ontario and employing 1,200 people group-wide.

WEINS is an acronym for West, East, Information, North, and South. With operations in the Western and Northern hemispheres (Canada) and in the Eastern and Southern Hemispheres (Japan), WEINS centred on the ideal of Information. Information is at the center of everything we do, whether it be information regarding business operations, vehicles, or finance and leasing for our customers. As we continue to grow and the automotive industry evolves, we look towards Innovation, Improvement, and Inspiration as core ideals for our Automotive Group to be centred around as we move towards the future.

With the four cardinal directions and Information being the central principle for WEINS, we look forward to our continued growth and that of our customers, brands, employees, and community partners.
