About Us, BYD Nelson

Founded in 1996 by Shane Drummond and his wife Sarah, The Car Company is one of the largest dealerships in the country. Ben Brownie and his wife Wendy are also shareholders, with over 25 staff, over 500 vehicles in stock at all times, and well over 30,000 cars sold. But it isn’t just selling cars where The Car Company excels, it is a huge contributor back to the local community. Whether you’re buying, selling, trading, servicing, financing OR needing insurance, The Car Company are your one stop shop. After proudly taking on the agency for BYD in the Top of the South Island in 2023, and building a brand new showroom, we’re thrilled to partner with a brand that so perfectly aligns with our values.
