About HMC Kapiti

HMC Kapiti is a family owned and operated company established in 2009 on the Kapiti Coast.

HMC stands for Horowhenua Motor Company with roots that date back to 1928 previously known as Wrightcars; owned by Gary and Chris Mckelvie and situated in Levin.

Gary started as a motor mechanic apprentice in 1969 with wrightcars, moving into the sales department in 1982. In 1990 he bought into the company purchasing the remaining shares in 2006. In 2009 the opportunity opened up to expand the business into the Kapiti Coast through the purchase of Williams and Adams.

Kelly has been managing the company since its establishment in 2009 and Daniel came on board in 2016 bringing a wealth of knowledge from his previous management experience in the tyre industry.

Daniel and Kelly have a family of five children and enjoy spending any spare time with them when not in the business. With strong family morals, they instil these at work offering family like care and personal service to each and every customer.
