Paul and Christine Northcott are the owner operators of Northcott Automotive Solutions, and Northcott Subaru & European. Both businesses are conveniently located at 189 Devon Street West, New Plymouth.
Paul, a mechanic by trade and his wife Christine opened their first automotive business – a rural service station and workshop – in 1991.
Five years later Paul and Christine set up the Nationwide Service Centre franchise in New Plymouth.
In 2005 Paul and Christine joined the Automotive Solutions Group, also changing the name of the business.
“We wanted to be a part of a networking group that was made up of the best people in our industry. I knew some of the people who were involved, and that Automotive Solutions would be the right fit for us,” said Paul.
During that time Paul and Christine were offered several dealerships but it wasn’t until the Subaru Dealership for New Plymouth and Taranaki became available, and Paul and Christine had the confidence in the brand and its team that they decided to take the plunge.
Working alongside Paul and Christine at Northcott Automotive Solutions are three technicians, a receptionist, a vehicle groomer, and parts and sales staff.
