I dare argue that a significant percentage of cars on Melbourne’s roads are European. And no, I do not have the data to back up my assertion. After all, it wouldn’t be an argument if I had hard data. Controversies aside, you’d agree, at least, that there are European cars on Australian roads. Those cars need periodic maintenance, which often means replacing certain auto parts. This situation is what leads us to the question, “Where can one buy quality European car parts?”
I’ll be quick to say that there’s no silver bullet response to this question. I carefully selected five spare part sources and reviewed them in this post. I considered their years of experience, customer reviews, and satisfaction as significant factors for the shortlisting process. I encourage you to think of this post not as an endorsement of the listed businesses but as recommendations. In other words, take these recommendations with a pinch of salt.
That said, here’s a review of five popular auto parts sources in Melbourne.
1. Carpart.com.au
Melburnians, did I say that there was no silver bullet response to our focus question? I take that back. When you talk about places where you can buy high-quality and fair-priced European car parts in Melbourne, Carpart.com.au is at the TOP of the supply chain. I agree; my position may be a little biased. However, there’s no arguing that we’re one of the topmost European car part plugs in Australia.
Carpart.com.au is a free online auto parts finder. Our entire business is structured to ensure that you get the parts that you need quickly, with no hassles, and at highly competitive prices. How do we make this happen?
As a part finding tool, we do not retail auto parts. Instead, we built an ecosystem of over 500 (and growing!) certified sellers and wreckers in Melbourne and across Australia. OEM, aftermarket, new, and used part sellers comprise this network, and the healthy internal competition amongst members is how we keep prices low and quality high.
To buy a car part, place your request on our website. You'll begin to receive quotes from sellers who have the auto part you requested almost as soon as you make your request. Wait a while for a substantial number of offers to come in. Afterwards, pick the one you believe to be the juiciest. Easy-peasy. There’s more about Carpart.com.au to explore – ads and parts listing for sellers, automotive-dedicated directory, and a blog section of useful tips and guides.
2. ASV Euro Car Parts
ASV Euro Car Parts is a Sydney-based, family-owned, award-winning car part retail company. They started as a mechanical workshop and gradually expanded to fill the growing demand for European car parts in Australia. Now, they are one of the largest sellers of European car parts not only in Sydney but all over the country, with over 500,000 parts stocked.
As a wrecking company, ASV Euro Car Parts dismantles cars to salvage and sell used but high-quality car parts. Not only that, but they also sell new spare parts, which makes it easier for you to compare items side by side.
