Finding the right part fast matters more than almost anything else when a car is off the road. The auto parts stores in Toronto on this list have racked up 5,005 Google reviews combined, and the ratings run from 4.0 up to 4.7, a 0.7-star spread wide enough that the difference between a big-box retailer and a specialist actually shows up in the numbers.

Short answer: Canadian Tire on Yonge Street carries the most reviews by far at 3,209, though its 4.0 rating is the lowest here. Parts Pioneer and Ahon Auto Parts both post 4.7, one an online retailer shipping across Canada, the other a family-run Japanese-parts specialist serving Toronto since 1991. Whether it's a same-day pickup or a mail-order part for a specific make, this page covers both routes.

Canadian Tire

4.03,209 Google reviews

Canadian Tire on Yonge Street is a big-box retailer carrying auto parts alongside tires, tools, home goods and seasonal stock, with an in-store oil change and tire installation service. It's a national chain rather than a specialist, so the strength is convenience and same-day availability over deep automotive expertise. Reviewers describe helpful staff for straightforward purchases, alongside frustration when a service appointment like a tire install went wrong.

What people praise

  • Same-day parts and tire pickup at a well-known national chain
  • Staff praised for patience with less experienced customers
  • Wide inventory beyond just auto parts, useful for a one-stop errand

Worth knowing

  • Service quality on installs and returns varies by visit, per multiple reviewers
  • One reviewer described a tire installation that wasn't actually completed as booked

Watch: 5 Best Auto Parts Stores in Toronto (2026)

How we scored these stores

Every number here comes from public Google data. Rating is the live star average. Review volume measures how many customers actually rated a store, weighed against others in the area. Confidence blends rating with volume, so a high score built on fewer reviews reads as less settled than one built on thousands. Recency tracks how lately people are still leaving feedback. No store can pay to change any of these numbers.

What auto parts cost in Toronto (2026)

Pricing swings widely by part, brand and whether it’s OEM, aftermarket or used. A basic maintenance item like a wiper blade or air filter is inexpensive almost anywhere, while brakes, suspension components and electrical parts vary far more depending on the vehicle. Online retailers on this list often beat in-store pricing on common parts but add shipping time, while walk-in stores trade a bit of savings for same-day availability. Get quotes from more than one source before committing to a bigger repair.

Serving Toronto and the GTA

These stores and services cover downtown Toronto around Yonge and Gerrard, St. Clair West, and online retailers shipping across the Greater Toronto Area and the rest of Canada. An auto parts store near me search in Toronto usually turns up a walk-in option within a short drive, with online ordering as a backup for anything not on the shelf.

What to ask before you buy a part

  • Is this part OEM, aftermarket, or used, and how does that affect the warranty?
  • Can you confirm fit for my exact make, model and year before I pay?
  • What’s the return policy if the part doesn’t fit or arrives damaged?
  • Is same-day pickup available, or does this need to ship?
  • Do you install the part, or is that a separate service?
  • Is there a cheaper equivalent part that still meets manufacturer specs?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. The order comes from public Google data, rating and review volume. A store can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but it never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five stores?

We looked at Toronto auto parts retailers and service centres with a real Google track record, then ranked by a blend of live rating and review volume. A store with the most reviews doesn’t automatically win if its rating trails the field.

How often is this updated?

The ratings and review counts were verified in July 2026. We refresh them as the public data changes, so a store’s position can shift with new reviews.

Is it cheaper to order parts online or buy in store?

Online retailers on this list often beat in-store pricing on common parts, but a walk-in store gets you the part the same day, which can matter more than the savings if the car is off the road.

Do any of these stores specialize in a particular vehicle make?

Yes. Ahon Auto Parts focuses specifically on Japanese makes including Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Acura, Nissan and Infiniti.

The bottom line

For a same-day walk-in part or quick tire service, Active Green+Ross or Canadian Tire cover the basics. For a Japanese-make vehicle, Ahon Auto Parts’ decades of specialist knowledge and honest quoting stand out, and Parts Pioneer is the strongest online option if you can wait for shipping. Confirm fit and return policy before you pay, especially when ordering online.
