- SPEED was established in 2008 and has grown to become NZ’s largest independent European automotive new parts supplier
- We are proudly New Zealand owned and employ over 25 full time hard-working team members
- We specialise in supplying parts and fluids for all European and late model American vehicles to the mechanical and automotive electrical sectors, as well as servicing smash repairers with their Genuine parts requirements
- We operate from five locations in NZ. Our Head Office, and major Distribution Centre, is in Mount Maunganui, and we have four satellite warehouses in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, and Christchurch.
- We have grown our business customer by customer, and despite coming from small beginnings, have been lucky enough to feature in the prestigious Deloitte Fast 50 index not once, but twice!
- We have on hand, for immediate dispatch, around 80,000 parts worth several million dollars… but sshhh… don’t tell the boss, he can get a bit grumpy about our ever-increasing inventory holdings!
