After a nine month hiatus, Duncan Paterson is re-opening 89 Auto Sales, located at 506055 Hwy 89, which is located just east of Shelburne.

Originally opened in October 2013, Mr. Paterson ran his business successfully up until last August when tragedy stuck his family with the death of his daughter, Natasha, at the pre-staging of the Fiddleville Parade.

As any parent can imagine, dealing with something so overwhelming and unimaginable was very difficult for Mr. Paterson, and now, after the much needed time off, he is again opening the doors at 89 Auto Sales.

Mr. Paterson has over 30 years’ experience in the automotive industry and started his career as a licensed mechanic. Prior to opening 89 Auto Sales, Mr. Paterson was the Fleet Manager and in charge of 2,500 light and heavy duty vehicles, with a company who fleet was considered one of the largest in Canada.

With a passion for old vehicles, Mr. Paterson is not only an avid collector, he has also built some custom classic show cars and truck, some of which you can see him driving around in from time to time.

“I believe in customer service and providing a quality vehicle at an affordable and reasonable price,” says Mr. Paterson.

This is evident from the large selection of vehicles he currently has in stock with vehicles starting as low as $1,999.

A registered member of OMVIC, Ontario’s motor vehicle regulator, Paterson is also C.A.L.E certified (Certified in Automotive Law and Ethics) and a member of the U.C.D.A. (Used Car Dealers Association).

He is able to offer various warranties to those who purchase vehicles, and for certified vehicles costing over $3,000, you receive a free Lubrico six-month, 6,000 km powertrain warranty.

Along with re-opening 89 Auto Sales, Mr. Paterson is currently organizing the 1st Annual Natasha Paterson Memorial Car/Truck Show being held on Sunday, August 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It is being held at the newly named Natasha Paterson Memorial Park, located on Gordon Street in Shelburne.

This event will benefit local charities and will include live jazz bands, food such as the newest hot dog vendor in town, Slicksters, an ice cream truck, a 50/50 draw, a silent auction and more.
