About Us

WHAT DO WE DO?

Maritime Auto Parts is a full-service auto recycler and parts supplier of new and used automotive parts.

Our History

1932

Ray Fillmore incorporated Maritime Auto Salvage Ltd. in Truro, NS. In 1932.

1942 - 46

WWII halted the production of vehicles.

1960's

the “Bi-Hi” (Bicentennial Highway) was routed right through Maritime Auto’s Lower Truro location, forcing a move to our current location, Glenholme, NS.

1974

After about 40 years, and two generations, the Fillmore’s sold Maritime to Basil MacKay and Harry Marsh in 1974. MacKay and Marsh organized the vehicles into rows by make and model and eliminated the “junk yard” feel.

1988

Lana & Ed MacDonald purchase Maritime Auto. They implemented a computerized inventory management system almost immediately.

2012

Son of Lana and Ed, Andrew MacDonald purchased the business from his parents.

Present Day

Maritime Auto continues to grow and serve more customers throughout Atlantic Canada and beyond.
