About Us

Australia's No 1 auto parts resource since 1985

PartsLocator Pty Ltd was born out of a love of cars, a love of rallying and a need for parts to repair rally cars. Over the last 40 years it has grown from needing parts for a 1975 Toyota Corolla KE35, as it competed in rallies all over Australia, to become Australia's No 1 auto parts resource. Smash repair shops, panel shops, mechanical repairers and workshops, dealers, wreckers, auto recyclers, dismantlers and the general public all use PartsLocator to find the parts they need from our Authorised Suppliers — wreckers, recyclers, dismantlers and spare parts suppliers Australia wide.

In 1985 PartsLocator Magazine was launched as the first ever trade publication for auto parts wreckers and recyclers to advertise their businesses and stock to the automotive industry. What began as a home-office 32-page booklet distributed throughout Victorian auto wreckers, recyclers and dismantlers has grown into a full-colour magazine with a national readership of over 25,000 — including auto wreckers, dismantlers and recyclers, mechanical workshops and panel repairers, insurance assessors and other services to the automotive industry. It remains the only auto parts directory in Australia for recycled, second-hand, used, new genuine, new non-genuine, replacement, reconditioned and rebuilt auto parts.

partslocator.com.au was launched as one of the pioneer auto parts sites in Australia. Over the years it has become the No 1 site for buying and selling auto parts, with over 120,000 general public and auto industry members and more than 2,000,000 parts online — growing bigger every day. New and improved features make finding the used and new parts you need even faster and easier, and always free.

The testament to PartsLocator Magazine and partslocator.com.au is the number of auto parts suppliers and auto industry businesses that have been advertising with us for over 20 years, and the continual growth of our online membership.
