Meet Andrew Caithness – Owner, Founder, and All-Around Car Enthusiast
Otago Wholesale Limited, DriveGuard & Hotrods Otago
Andrew’s been in the car industry since he was 16, traveling all over New Zealand to sell cars and build lasting relationships with customers. While he doesn’t claim any fancy academic titles, he made his mark handling luxury cars for the Armstrong Motor Group before channelling that expertise into his own ventures.
Today, Andrew’s mission is simple: ensure everyone drives away with a great car from a dealership they trust. His dream of creating a brand that’s known for quality and integrity keeps him pushing boundaries (and occasionally adding a few grey hairs) as he enters his mid-30s.
When he’s not in the office, you’ll likely find Andrew strolling the beach with his loyal sidekick and Customer Service Dog, Spock. Together, they enjoy scouting for a good piece of driftwood or simply relaxing on the lawn, dreaming up the next big ideas for Otago Wholesale and its sister companies.
“One day in your career, the money won’t matter—a fire will be lit within yourself that not even a tsunami can extinguish. For me, that’s my yard... my staff... my dog.”
Andrew embodies that fiery dedication, working day and night to deliver innovative products and the highest level of integrity for his customers. Friendly, casual, and always up for a chat—Andrew and his team can’t wait to welcome you to Valley Motor Court – by Otago Wholesale. Come experience car buying the way it should be.
