West Coast Motors is a coach and bus operator based in Campbeltown in Argyll. The founding of the company dates back to 1921. As well as the Campbeltown HQ, the company has bases in Oban, Dunoon, Rothesay and Glasgow.

Aside from the local stage carriage, West Coast Motors also runs coaches and express services on behalf of Scottish Citylink, predominantly on the Glasgow to Campbeltown service, but also on routes serving Oban, Dundee, Edinburgh, Fort William, Inverness and the Isle of Skye.

West Coast Motors has expanded steadily over the years. In 1970 they bought over McConnachie of Campbeltown and in 1999 acquired Oban & Distict buses. 2006 saw the acquisition of Glasgow Citybus Ltd of Scotstoun and Henderson Hiring of Tarbert.

The company runs a daily fleet of over 130 buses & coaches and employs around 270 employees.
