History
AUTOZONE Richards Bay is celebrating 35 years in business.
This success story started back in 1989 when Selvin and Monica Maary opened Parts King in Dollar Drive – one of the first automotive spares shops in Richards Bay.
With his extensive experience Selvin gained while working in Olympic Toyota’s parts department, and with Monica handling the admin side of the business, Parts King grew steadily.
The business supplied automotive parts and accessories not just in the Richards Bay and Empangeni area, but as far as Pongola and Newcastle.
In 1996 Selvin and Monica acquired their own premises and Parts King moved from Dollar Drive to Rupee Riff where it is today.
In 2006, Parts King became AutoZone when the business became part of this fast-growing national automotive spares franchise.
After just one year as a franchise, the business was named AutoZone Franchise Rookie of the Year.
Locally AutoZone Richards Bay has been voted winner of the Best Automotive Parts and Accessories category in the Best of Zululand, Reader’s Choice Awards in 2021, 2022, 2023 – and again this year.
Today, AutoZone is managed by Selvin and Monica’s two sons, Aiden and Justin.
