Three Generations of Automotive Excellence

MacPherson’s Auto Centre has been serving the automotive needs of Carleton Place, Ontario and surrounding communities for over seven decades, establishing itself as the region’s most trusted destination for comprehensive auto repair services. Founded in 1953 by Marvin MacPherson as a specialized radiator repair shop, our family business has grown through three generations of dedicated service, evolving from a small operation on Antrim Street to our current full-service facility at 11 Bell Street Carleton Place, ON K7C 1V8. When Marvin’s son, Ross MacPherson, took ownership in the mid-1980s, he expanded our capabilities to include comprehensive automotive repair services, laying the foundation for the care we provide today. In 2023, Spencer MacPherson and his wife Rebecca assumed ownership, bringing fresh energy while maintaining the time-tested values that have made MacPherson’s Auto Centre a cornerstone of the Carleton Place automotive community. Our commitment to honest recommendations, transparent communication, and long-term customer relationships continues to drive every interaction, ensuring that families who have trusted us for generations can rely on the same exceptional service for years to come.
