Princess Auto Wrecking, the predecessor to Princess Auto, was started in 1933 on Princess Street in Winnipeg. In 1942, Harvey Tallman, who had sold his truck, purchased the company. Originally the business was entirely local and involved dismantling used cars and selling parts to garages. After World War II the business expanded to selling army surplus items and producing various products.
In 1951, Princess Auto produced their first mail order catalogue; by the middle of the 1960s the catalogue was available throughout Canada. As the company grew, it was moved to Fort Street and later to Panet Road, the current site of Princess Auto's headquarters and one of the company's two Winnipeg stores.

Shopping there was of no disappointment, as I've purchased from the store on Barton close to Parkdale in Hamilton many times and would recommend it.

Great selection of pretty much anything and everything, it's easy to spend two hours just wandering around looking at all the stuff. Friendly helpful staff that aren't overbearing but easily available. Good prices/value especially in the surplus section. I always joke while walking into Princess Auto that this is what China must smell like. There are good products and values to be had but also lots of cheap Chinese garbage but depending on your application, that might be what you're looking for. Overall it's a great store with lots of parking that's easy to get to. I love it and hope it's around for a long time.

Good prices. Some great specials. Staff very willing to help. They dont hide !
