🌟 Team Spotlight: Meet Toyse Woody, Jr — Parts Manager at Granbury Kia

 When it comes to dedication, experience, and technical mastery, few can match the career journey of Toyse Woody, Jr, our Parts Manager here at Granbury Kia. With nearly 40 years in the automotive industry, Toyse brings both deep expertise and a steady hand to every project, process, and partnership.

A Career Built on Precision and Progress

Toyse began his automotive journey back in 1987 at Milo Gordon, working across warranty, parts, and IT. His sharp technical instincts and attention to detail quickly set him apart, leading to his promotion to Parts Manager at Milo Gordon Honda in just a few years. In 1991, his commitment to excellence earned him the Honda Parts & Service TSI Award — and a well-deserved recognition trip to Maui.

By 1997, Toyse joined Frank Kent Honda as Assistant Service Manager, contributing to a string of Honda President’s Awards (1998–2005). His leadership later extended to Frank Kent Dodge, where he served as Parts Manager before returning to Frank Kent Honda in 2010, achieving even more President’s Awards from 2010–2014.

From 2015 to 2024, Toyse took on the role of Parts Director at Honda of Fort Worth, leading his team to an unbroken streak of Honda President’s Awards and multiple Honda Parts & Service Awards, with special recognition in New Orleans.

Now in 2025, Toyse brings that same drive and excellence to Granbury Kia, guiding our parts department with the kind of knowledge and leadership that can only come from decades of hands-on experience.

Beyond the Parts Counter

When he’s not managing logistics or optimizing inventory, Toyse has his eye behind a camera lens. A passionate motorsports photographer, his work has been featured across ADRL, IHRA, XDRL, NHRA, and more. A former bracket racer (1979–1997), Toyse has even driven a Pro Mod racecar and worked with Black Diamond Motorsports’ Mountain Motor Pro Stock Team.

A lifelong tech enthusiast, he’s also deeply interested in computers and IT, constantly exploring new innovations and systems that keep him—and his department—on the cutting edge.

A Steady Leader. A Lifelong Learner.

At Granbury Kia, we’re proud to have Toyse leading the way in parts management. His mix of experience, curiosity, and genuine passion for the craft is what keeps our service running smoothly—and our customers rolling with confidence.
