Kaye's Auto Parts

Kayes Auto Parts – A Family Business Serving Our Community for More Than 80 Years



Kayes Auto Parts has a long history of serving the communities of North Georgia and Western North Carolina. The family business was established in Murphy, North Carolina, in 1938, and opened its second location in Blue Ridge, Georgia, in 1948. Norman Kaye started working the family business in 1961, that was founded by his father Sam. The business has continued to grow while maintaining the family values and personal service that have been part of Kayes Auto Parts from the beginning. Today, the Blue Ridge location has more than 10 employees and stays busy serving customers six days a week. Scott Kaye oversees the Blue Ridge location, while his brother, Mitchell Kaye, manages the Blairsville and Hiawassee locations.


For the Kaye family, being in business is about more than providing quality auto parts and service—it’s also about giving back to the communities that have supported them for generations. Kayes Auto Parts proudly supports local organizations and programs, including Feed Fannin, the Blue Ridge Community Theater, and the Automotive Class through the Vocational Department at Fannin County High School.


With more than 80 years of history in the region, Kayes Auto Parts continues to be a great example of a family-owned business that values its customers, employees, and community. Their commitment to serving others and investing in the next generation helps make Fannin County a stronger place to live and work. In the photo above from left to right is Scott Kaye, Norman Kaye, Sam Kaye, and Mitchell Kay. With Sam Kaye joining in the family

business, he represents the 4th generation helping operate the family business.
