German Auto Car Part Shops

[scott8629]

Hello All,

I am a Brit working in Germany residing in Hamburg. I own a 07 Mazda 3 MPS which I love. As the car is now out of warranty I like to do some work on the car myself i.e. oil changes etc.

My question is where to buy quality parts for the car? In the UK I have now problem with this but can you please tell me where I can purchase part either locally (chain) or on-line.

Kind Regards

ATU is a poor german equivalent of Halfords with stores everywhere, but you can order online www.atu.de

Look on German ebay,I live in Dresden and there are loads of parts suppliers in the city use ATU as a very last resort in my opinion I have never seen such a Fred Carno operation.

To get car parts, I would recommend a Bosch Service. They do the repairs, but you can buy parts there as well. Or you can check the following two links

http://www.wm-fahrzeugteile.de/

http://de.trost.com/

Some of the parts they sell are exactly the same you get from the manufacturers because they get them from the suppliers.

I prefer to stay away from ATU because I have some bad experience with their 'quality'.
