Shopping with Run Auto Parts – Your Questions Answered

Welcome to Run Auto Parts!

We’re a proudly Australian, family-owned business delivering quality OEM and aftermarket car parts to drivers, mechanics, and workshops across Australia and New Zealand.

We’ve kept things simple since day one: no retail shop, no phone queues, and no inflated prices — just an easy online experience with all the tools you need to get the right parts the first time.

Here’s everything you need to know about shopping with us.

How do I know I’ve got the right part?

Start with our Shop by Vehicle tool. Simply select your make, model, year, and engine, and you’ll instantly see compatible parts for your car.

Each product page also lists fitment notes or restrictions — always read these carefully, as they help confirm the correct part for your exact vehicle variant.

If you can, match the part number from the item you’re replacing. It’s the fastest and most accurate way to guarantee a perfect fit.

Our listings are powered by TecDoc data – the same trusted database used by professional workshops – so you can shop with confidence.

What if I’m not completely sure?

That’s what our VIN Fitment Check Service is for.

Simply place your order, then email us your VIN or registration number. Our expert team will verify compatibility before dispatch.

If something doesn’t line up, we’ll contact you straight away and make sure the correct part is sent. That means no surprises, no wasted time, and no wrong deliveries.

Do you sell parts for all makes and models?

Yes! While Run Auto Parts began as a specialist in European vehicles such as Audi, BMW, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz, we’ve since expanded our range to cover all major makes and models — from Toyota, Ford, and Holden to Mazda, Hyundai, and beyond.

Whatever you drive, we’ve got parts to keep it running smoothly.

Why don’t you have a phone number or a walk-in store?

Because our goal is to keep prices low and fair for everyone.

Running phone lines and physical shops adds big overheads — and those costs end up in product prices.

Instead, we focus on providing:

  • Detailed online fitment data
  • VIN verification services
  • Fast, reliable email support

This approach means you get expert help without the extra cost.

Do you sell used parts?

No — we only sell brand new OEM and aftermarket parts.

Used components can have unknown wear, inconsistent performance, or hidden faults. With today’s manufacturing efficiencies, new parts often cost little more than used ones, offering better safety, reliability, and long-term value.

Do you sell body panels like doors or bonnets?

No, we specialise in mechanical and service parts — the components that keep your car running at its best.

Body panels (like doors, bumpers, and bonnets) typically require painting and are often sourced second-hand through wreckers. By focusing on engine, suspension, braking, and filtration systems, we ensure you get quality parts that fit and perform.

How long will delivery take?

Every product page clearly shows a “Ships In” time — so you’ll always know when to expect dispatch.

With hundreds of thousands of items in our catalogue, lead times vary. Some products ship the same day from our Melbourne warehouse, while others are special orders sourced directly from Europe.

If you order multiple parts, they’ll be shipped together based on the longest lead time. You’ll see this upfront at checkout, making it easy to plan your repair or service.

Do you offer trade discounts?

Yes. If you’re a mechanic, workshop, or fleet operator ordering in bulk or buying multiple quantities, we can arrange trade pricing.

Just get in touch with our team and let us know what you need.

For one-off retail orders, we already offer everyday low pricing — so everyone enjoys great value without needing special accounts or hidden discounts.
