About motor parts direct limited

Motor Parts Direct first opened it's doors in Kettering in 1999. We have an experienced, friendly team in every branch ensuring expertise in supplying the right part for your car. Despite the pandemic, 2020 was one of Motor Parts Direct’s busiest years with the opening of 20 new branches and no plans to stop there! We believe that our level of service provided within the motor industry should be experienced by as many people possible. Having built up the business to a network of over 176 branches, with 15 distribution centres, millions of pounds worth of stock and a fleet of over 1100 delivery vehicles, the company has set new standards in an industry all too often beset by promises that are not kept. As motor part suppliers are often competing to offer the same products as each other, the best way for a company to forge a point of difference is through the service they offer. Motor Parts Direct are the company to do just that. “We strive to ensure we develop our staff to provide a service level beyond our customer’s expectations. Our customers have a choice. We aim to be that ‘natural choice’.”
