5 Best Auto Parts Stores in London (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Talise Sterling, Goods and Shopping · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

The main dealer wants a small fortune for one part, and that's usually the moment London drivers start hunting for an auto parts store instead. Between them, the five shops on this page have logged 919 Google reviews, and ratings run from 4.4 up to a perfect 5, tighter than you might expect for a trade this varied. What actually separates them is specialty: used engines, private plates, or parts for a Ferrari, not general quality.

Short answer: The top-reviewed auto parts store in London is Stockwell Motor Accessories (4.4 stars across 287 Google reviews), while Eco Auto Parts holds the strongest combination of rating and volume at 4.8 across 229 reviews. Strada Spares posts a perfect 5.0 as a specialist in supercar parts. Prices vary hugely by whether a part is new, used, or made to order, so always confirm fitment against your registration before you pay.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the shop’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, ranked against other London auto parts stores. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from over 200 people carries more weight than a perfect score on far fewer. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What do auto parts cost in London? (2026)

Parts pricing swings hard depending on whether the part is new, reconditioned, or used, how rare it is, and whether fitting is included. Used engines and gearboxes from a breaker typically run a fraction of dealer prices but vary with mileage and condition, while specialist or made-to-order parts for performance marques sit at the top end. Always confirm the part matches your VIN or registration before you pay.

Sourcing parts across London

The shops above cover central and inner London, including the City, Clapham, Holloway, and Mayfair, with several offering delivery well beyond their postcode. Searching for an auto parts store near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you order a part

  • Will you cross-check the part against my VIN or registration before it ships?
  • Is this part new, reconditioned, or used, and what warranty comes with it?
  • What’s the return policy if the part doesn’t fit?
  • Is fitting included, or is it supply-only?
  • What’s the realistic delivery or collection time?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these auto parts stores?

We started from every auto parts store in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Is it safe to buy a used engine or gearbox?

It can be, if the part is tested and cross-referenced against your VIN and EPC, which Eco Auto Parts does as standard. Ask about testing and warranty before you commit.

Which shop is best for a personalised number plate?

CarReg London specialises in private and personalised registrations rather than mechanical parts, and reviewers rate its selling and valuation process highly.

The bottom line

For most repairs, Eco Auto Parts is the safe default thanks to its VIN cross-check on used parts. If you’re chasing a personalised plate, go to CarReg London, and for a Ferrari or Lamborghini part the mainstream shops won’t stock, Strada Spares is the specialist. Whatever you order, confirm the part against your registration first.
