About Dempster's Automotive Supplies Ltd: It started with a panel van.
An automotive aftermarket business that hit the road in 1976. 50 years later, it is still in the family.
Our story
Family owned. Family run.
Dempster's started in 1976 out of a panel van and was incorporated the following year.
Today the business runs from Victoria Street in Barrie, with a sales area that covers a large portion of Simcoe County. It is still family owned and operated, now in its second generation.
Names and faces have changed over the years. The idea has not: a community minded, customer friendly parts store, with quality parts at competitive prices.
