Gibbons Motor Toys began operation in June of 1981 under the name of The Service Department. At this time, automotive repair and maintenance was the primary business.Tim Panasiuk (president) expanded the company in 1989 and added a Mercury Marine® franchise. As the recreational side continued to grow, the operating name was changed in the early 1990s to Gibbons Auto and Leisure Centre. In 1995, the Ski-Doo franchise was added, and in 2000 a decision was made to discontinue the automotive repair side. This was done to allow for a better overall focus on the recreational business. This also produced the need for a new name: Gibbons Motor Toys.

In May 2011, Gibbons Motor Toys opened its second location in Salmon Arm, British Columbia to expand the marine division of the business. We are located at 5009 50 Ave in Gibbons, Alberta serving Morinville, Redwater, Fort Saskatchewan, and surrounding areas. Gibbons Motor Toys is located 20 minutes north of Edmonton where highways 28 and 28A intersect. In our 14,000 sq. foot building, we feature a 7,500 sq foot showroom and a 4,200 sq. foot service facility.

In our service facility, our factory trained technicians use fully-modern, up-to-date diagnostic equipment. We are able to accommodate boats that are up to 40 feet in length. In the showroom, products are easy to locate and no matter what season, we have a variety of parts, accessories and clothing to compliment any adventure.

With a dedicated and experienced staff, we at Gibbons Motor Toys strive to make doing business with us enjoyable.

On a day to day basis, Gibbons Motor Toys staff continuously strive to meet your outdoor needs. From jet boating in seemingly impossible conditions to competing in local walleye tournaments to fishing off the west coast in KingFisher's heavy-gauge welded aluminum boats, there is truly something for everyone. We pride ourselves on rigging and accessorizing our boats to meet our customers’ specialized needs. Rest assured there is still plenty of time to head to the overwhelming powder in the mountains to test the true limits of Ski-Doo, or charge out into the muskeg and push the limits until a winch is required on our Can-Am® ATVs and side by sides.

Over the years, we have passed up several opportunities to represent multiple brands of products. Doing so allows our knowledgeable parts and service staff, energetic sales department and certified technicians to learn our products thoroughly. Carrying select manufacturers’ products allows us to provide excellent customer service by drastically increasing our parts inventory, thoroughly educating our staff and decreasing our workload, providing more time to serve our respected customers.

We look forward to meeting new customers and catching up with existing ones.

Our promise to our customers is to support their outdoor recreation needs while embracing our culture of continuous learning and share our knowledge now and in the future.
