About Us

Hard-to-Find Auto Parts, Built for Real Buyers

Founded in 2015

AutoPartEx was launched to make hard-to-find OEM and replacement parts easier to discover across cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, heavy equipment, and specialty vehicles.

Our mission is straightforward: organize auto-part intelligence into one clear experience where buyers can compare options quickly and sellers can reach customers who are actively searching.

We support a broad mix of new, used, and OEM parts. Just as important, we focus on trust through clearer listings, stronger quality signals, and marketplace standards that reward ethical sellers while helping buyers avoid expensive mistakes.

Price always matters, but confidence matters more. Our goal is to give every customer better information before checkout and, over time, raise the reputation of the used and OEM parts market.

What Types of Auto Parts Can You Find?

Our platform is designed for both uncommon and everyday parts, including components that local stores often cannot keep in stock. You can browse categories such as:

Classic car parts
Vintage car parts
Sports car parts
Aftermarket replacement parts
Semi-truck and tractor-trailer parts

We Are a Marketplace Too - Buy/Sell Auto Parts

Dealers and brokers can buy and sell through our marketplace. Membership options support both growing sellers and high-volume businesses, with additional tools for distribution, publishing, and conversion-focused visibility.

We Believe in Fair Trade

AutoPartEx gives qualified sellers more control while still protecting buyers through accountability and clear community standards. The result is a healthier marketplace for both sides of every transaction.

We Help Sellers Grow

We provide practical resources across marketing, analytics, and digital operations so sellers can scale with a data-driven approach. If you are looking for a complete platform to sell auto parts online, this is exactly what AutoPartEx is built to do.

Biography

Chad established Auto Part Group International, LLC after seeing major shifts in IT and digital marketing. As early as 2002, he believed it was important to build meaningful products before a small set of larger companies controlled too much of the open internet. Over time, that view only became stronger.

He came of age in the late 1990s internet, a period defined by experimentation, creativity, and speed. That early environment still shapes his perspective on building products that prioritize utility, transparency, and long-term value.

For more than 15 years, he has focused on combining web application development, data, and marketing into one operating model. A lifelong automobile enthusiast, he eventually directed that approach toward the auto-parts market after his previous venture concluded in 2006.

While platforms like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and OfferUp are useful, they are not purpose-built for this niche. That gap led to the AutoPartEx vision: organize automotive information and inventory in a dedicated platform centered on accessibility and real-time utility, not just auction mechanics.

AutoPartEx was also shaped by his early college studies and the influence of his late economics professor, Professor Bohler, whose teachings helped refine the analytical framework behind the brand.
