MPA

Motorcar Parts of America (MPA) was founded in 1968 by Mel Marks. Initially established as a full-line importer of European and Japanese replacement parts, the company aimed to support a network of independently owned auto parts retailers. Recognizing the growing demand in the market, MPA quickly expanded into mass merchandising, supplying ignition parts and wire sets to retail chain stores.

In 1985, responding to an increasing need for reliable replacement starters and alternators, MPA made a pivotal acquisition of one of its exclusive suppliers. This move allowed the company to focus on becoming a leader in the North American market for remanufactured alternators and starters. Over the years, MPA has continued to grow and adapt to industry changes, emphasizing quality and innovation in its operations.

Motorcar Parts of America is particularly renowned for its high-quality remanufactured starters and alternators. These components are crucial for vehicle electrical systems, and MPA’s products are designed to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. This focus on quality ensures that customers receive reliable and durable products that enhance vehicle performance.

Quality assurance is a cornerstone of MPA’s manufacturing processes. The company places a strong emphasis on rigorous testing and quality control, ensuring that all products meet industry standards for performance and durability. This commitment to quality has contributed significantly to MPA's reputation in the automotive aftermarket.
