5 Best Auto Parts Stores in New York (2026)

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

By Talise Sterling, Goods and Shopping · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 7 min read

Finding the right part for your car in New York usually comes down to one thing: does the person behind the counter actually know what they're doing. The auto parts stores on this page range from 4.1 to 4.6 stars, and the top pick alone has racked up 916 reviews, more than the other four combined. That kind of volume gap tells you which counter has been tested by the most strangers with the most different problems.

Short answer: AutoZone Auto Parts in Brooklyn leads on volume with 916 reviews at 4.1 stars, the most reviewed auto parts store in New York on this list, though its rating trails the smaller shops here. DNK Body Parts in Greenpoint posts the highest rating on the page at 4.6 with 157 reviews, praised repeatedly for tracking down hard-to-find parts.

DNK Body Parts

4.6157 Google reviews

DNK Body Parts is a smaller auto parts store on Norman Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, without a public website, relying on its Google listing and word of mouth. Reviewers consistently describe it as a place that goes out of its way to track down parts that other stores can't locate.

Our take: We rank this fifth on the numbers, and the defective-parts complaints are worth weighing against the standout customer service story. Worth a call for hard-to-source parts, but confirm return policy before you buy anything sensor-related.

How we score

Rating reflects the live Google average pulled for each store. Review volume tracks how many customers actually left feedback, ranked against the other stores on this page, since a rating built on hundreds of reviews carries more weight than the same score on a smaller base. Confidence blends the two together. Recency checks whether feedback is still coming in regularly rather than sitting old. No store can pay to change any of these numbers.

What do auto parts cost in New York? (2026)

Pricing depends entirely on the specific part, brand, and whether it’s OEM or aftermarket, and varies store to store based on inventory and whether you’re buying retail or at a wholesale technician rate. Call ahead with your vehicle’s year, make, and model for an accurate quote rather than assuming a flat price.

Serving New York and across the river in New Jersey

This list spans Brooklyn, Jersey City, and North Bergen, giving reasonable coverage for anyone searching auto parts store near me from the outer boroughs or the New Jersey side of the Hudson, where several of these locations sit within a short drive of each other.

What to ask before you buy auto parts

Is the part OEM or aftermarket, and does that matter for your vehicle’s warranty?
Does the store offer free installation for batteries, wipers, or other simple swaps?
What’s the return policy if a part turns out to be defective?
Is the part in stock now, or does it need to be ordered from a warehouse?
Does the store offer a core recycling credit on parts like batteries?
Can staff scan your engine code to confirm what part you actually need?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these auto parts stores?

We pulled real Google Business data for auto parts stores across New York and ranked them by a blend of rating, review volume, and how recently customers were still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects data verified in July 2026 and gets refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do any of these stores offer free installation?

Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone Auto Parts both have reviewers describing free in-store battery and wiper installation.

Which store is best for hard-to-find or unusual parts?

DNK Body Parts and Union Auto Parts both have reviews specifically praising staff for tracking down parts that weren’t readily available elsewhere.

The bottom line

AutoZone Auto Parts is the safe default with by far the deepest review history in this list. If you need something unusual or hard to find, call DNK Body Parts or Union Auto Parts first and ask them to check before you go anywhere else.
