PRESS RELEASE

PRESS RELEASE !

This year, Autoparts PartsWorld, Timaru marked a huge milestone and is celebrating 100 years in business, making us the possibly the oldest dismantling yard in Australasia. Since 1924 Autoparts has been supplying new and used parts for all makes of vehicles and we would like to acknowledge all of our customers, as well as the staff (past and present) for making this achievement possible.

A lot has changed with the automotive industry over the last Century, with even more significant changes happening in the last few years. Several external forces, such as the way new vehicles are manufactured and pressure from insurance companies, have seen a change to the way we have had to operate when selling used parts.

While we are 100% up to the challenge, to ensure our organisation's viability for the future, over the last two years we started reducing our reliance to the amount of used items we sold, focusing more on directly importing, wholesaling, and selling new parts, either genuine new or quality, personally selected aftermarket items.

During this restructuring process we realised our current premises of almost 10,000m2 no longer suited its purpose, and listed the land and building at 16 Shaw Street, Redruth with a real estate agent. This week we accepted an offer and are now beginning the huge task of clearing the site, making it ready for its new owners.
We will be shifting some stock to a new location and continue to operate as an online business only.

Over the next two weeks will be selling ALL of our used stock at heavily reduced prices. If you require any used parts at bargain prices contact us ASAP!

We don’t want to move it, so it all has to go!
