About Us
Top of the South & West Coast parts specialists for over 35 years
Youngs Automotive has been a vital part of the automotive parts supply chain in the top of the south and West Coast for over 35 years.
We took over this great company in February 2008. We have three dedicated specialist salesmen with many years of experience in the automotive parts supply business.
Youngs is a trusted wholesaler and retailer of automotive, commercial, and marine parts, specialising in electrical components and accessories. Our point of difference is the expert, hands-on knowledge our team brings to the counter. With a qualified auto electrician and two former mechanics among our sales staff, we don't just sell parts — we understand them. That expertise puts us a cut above the rest.
We focus on Nelson, Marlborough, Golden Bay and the West Coast but this does not stop us servicing the whole of NZ as we can and will send our products Nationwide with very competitive freighting options available.
We strive to give every customer the service and advice they deserve and require, we are proud of our team for doing this day in and day out.
