The Auto Paddock / Our story
About The Auto Paddock
A shared passion for cars. A bigger vision for the enthusiast community.
Our founder story.
Ever since we were young, we wanted to build an inclusive, race-inspired brand for car enthusiasts. We imagined a place that could bring together the different parts of car culture: a dealership, a mechanic shop, a wrap shop and a parts shop. Somewhere people could find their next car, make it their own and keep building on their passion.
That is the vision behind The Auto Paddock. AP Race Parts is the parts-shop side of it.
A wider reach. The same passion.
When we ventured into e-commerce, we began to see how far that vision could reach. Our connections and capabilities gave us ways to help enthusiasts beyond a single location: sharing knowledge, connecting people with parts and supporting the decisions that shape a build.
We want to make that knowledge useful whether you are learning about your first upgrade or you are an experienced driver refining a car you know inside out. There is room for both here—and plenty to learn from one another.
Built around enthusiasts
Everyone starts somewhere.
We want people to feel welcome asking questions, exploring ideas and learning what works for their car. Experience should be something we share.
Inspired by racing
Purpose in every build.
We believe the best decisions start with understanding the car, the driver and the goal. Our aim is to help enthusiasts connect the parts with the bigger picture.
