See What Our Clients Say

Townsend Auto Electric is a business that sells auto parts and formerly specialized in electrical repairs. It's a unique auto parts store in Watsonville... Unique because of the personal service they give.

The guys at Townsend Auto Electric are very helpful and knowledgeable. Recently I needed to buy an air control valve for my car and I had a price of $347 from the dealer. I went to Townsend because they've always done a computer search to help me find parts that were more reasonably priced. I walked out the door after paying $219 for the same part. They saved me $122! That's impressive!

I've also bought parts for my classic car there! They sold me chrome lug nuts that I couldn't find anywhere else. And guess what? They have them in stock!

I highly recommend the store for your automotive needs! Try it out... And save a chunk of change and remember... You'll always get service with a smile!

Nice that there are still some old school auto parts stores around. Needed some brake rotors turned and had trouble finding an auto parts place that would do it. Not only do these guys do it, it's $25 each, which is a great deal. New rotors would have cost me over $100 each, so big savings.
While the chain stores have a bunch of younger guys with a little bit of training, the guys that work here know what they are doing, and they've been doing it a long time.

I'm glad these guys are here in my town, and I hope they stick around for a long time.

The difference is that these guys have been in business for a long time. They have the experience and knowledge so they are able to talk intelligently about autos & parts. They can find the hard to find parts and they don't gouge you on the price.

Townsends might not be the biggest auto parts store, but if you have a question something about older cars and trucks and want to speak to someone who knows what their talking about go here! They also have a great return policy.
