ABOUT US

Hard To Find Auto Parts

Established in 2015, AutoPartEx was designed to streamline access to hard-to-find and OEM auto part information across a wide spectrum of vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, 18-wheelers, and even heavy-duty military vehicles.

Our mission is to consolidate all OEM auto part information from North America, Europe, South America, Asia, and beyond. We are committed to developing a comprehensive information system that delivers user-friendly and engaging content.

At AutoPartEx, you can explore an extensive range of new, used, and OEM auto parts. The parts industry represents a significant market, and we believe there is room for enhanced ethical practices. Too often, recyclers and brokers deal in parts that are counterfeit, damaged, or untested. We seek to transform the market by leveraging social media and implementing a review system for all dealers, fostering responsible behavior among stakeholders through healthy competition.

Currently, many entities evade accountability for subpar service and unethical conduct due to insufficient market competition. We prioritize the needs of the end consumer by ensuring they have access to the best information for making informed choices. Simply having low prices does not guarantee that you are receiving the best option available. Our goal is to elevate the reputation of the used and OEM auto parts market.

What Types of Auto Parts Can You Find?

We specialize in sourcing hard-to-find auto parts, while also offering listings for common components that frequently wear out in vehicles. Many of the parts available at local auto parts stores are meant for routine maintenance, but they often suffer from limited supply or back-stock issues. Many people may not be aware that a nearby local auto part recycler can provide parts, often available for same-day access. With most shipping companies, you can receive a part the same day. Here are some categories of parts you can discover through our website or mobile app:

• Classic Car Parts
• Vintage Car Parts
• Sports Car Parts
• Aftermarket Replacement Parts
• Semi-Truck and Tractor Trailer Replacement Parts

**Biography**

Chad established Auto Part Group International, LLC after recognizing significant changes in the IT and digital marketing arenas. In 2002, he foresaw the necessity to make a substantial impact before larger corporations could monopolize the open internet. Over time, he observed how major entities have shaped the digital landscape, stifling genuine growth and innovation.

Emerging from the late 1990s, the internet represented a realm of creativity and liberty—untouched by control and monopolization. Chad fondly remembers this era as one of excitement and boundless potential, a stark contrast to today’s heightened commercialization.

For the past 15 years, he has committed himself to unifying all aspects of web application development and marketing. His vision was to establish a think tank within the automobile and auto parts sector. A lifelong automobile aficionado, he recalls building model cars in the late '90s and sharing this enthusiasm with friends. Following the conclusion of his 2006 venture, he redirected his efforts toward the auto parts market.

While platforms like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and OfferUp provide avenues for purchasing auto parts, they aren’t solely dedicated to this niche. Acknowledging this void, Chad envisioned a platform specifically designed to organize the world’s automobile information—not via auctions, but by offering real-time, accessible data to everyone.

The conception of AutoPartEx was inspired by his initial college education and the impactful teachings of his economics professor, the late Professor Bohler. His lessons broadened Chad’s perspective and honed his analytical skills in both life and business, ultimately playing a crucial role in the realization of this brand.
