Motor Factors

A motor factor is a retail supplier of car parts and accessories, tools and consumables. Motor factors deal in a vast range of car parts for your vehicle including:

• Wiper blades

• Brake pads

• Alternators

• Clutches

• Steering and suspension

• Shock absorbers

• Exhausts

• Spark plugs

• Catalytic converters and more

Many motor factors also conduct engine management and some servicing of your car.

You can find motor factors from around the UK by searching on Yell.com. By going through our extensive directory, you will find motor factor dealers in your local area. Each listing features details of the services provided and reviews and ratings from previous customers. It can also be helpful to ask friends, family and associates for recommendations of reliable motor factor dealers that they have used in the past and been satisfied with. You can also check out other independent review sites to see what other people’s experiences have been like.

You can filter through categories or refine your search on Yell.com to find exactly what you’re looking for. Whether it is battery parts or number plates, brakes or gearboxes – search for what you need. Reach out to the listing that interests you directly to find out their operation timings, whether they do delivery and what repairs they conduct.

Most motor factors will provide you with new parts and accessories when you request for them. Some will also deal with secondhand or used parts, but they will usually state this. If you are not sure then ask your motor parts dealer directly if the parts are new. Many will be happy to source parts that they might not have in stock at the moment.

Sometimes the use of aftermarket parts may void your warranty or cause your claim to be denied, but you will need to check with your insurance provider. If any of the parts used or repairs done cause damage to components of your vehicle, future claims for repairs of those parts can be denied. Some mild modifications like the below may be permitted on your car warranty:

• Tinted windows

• Change of number plate

• Changes to rims and wheels

• Fuel upgrades

Always check with your warranty provider for full details before making any modification and before using other motor parts on your car. Ask for clear advice about which parts are authorised, and which engineers are certified to carry out any work on your car. It is always best to check first to avoid future problems if you need to make a claim.

You can visit the motor factors dealer directly to buy the motor parts your vehicle needs. Some motor factors also have an online order and delivery system so you can browse what you need any time, anywhere. Some motor factors have a number you can call to inquire about a specific part you need, and they may arrange to have it delivered to you.
