About Linkparts
Built for the New Wave of Automotive
Linkparts was founded to solve a single problem: as Chinese automotive brands entered Europe at scale, the parts supply chain didn't keep up. We built the infrastructure to fix that.
Founded 2021
Our Story
When BYD, MG and NIO began selling in volume across Europe, dealerships and independent service centres faced a familiar problem — vehicles on the ramp, no parts in the country. Lead times of six to twelve weeks from Asia were commercially unacceptable for any serious workshop.
Linkparts was founded in 2020 by a team with deep roots in automotive distribution and a conviction that the Chinese EV wave deserved a proper European parts infrastructure. We established direct relationships with OEM-certified suppliers, built warehousing in the mainland Europe, and set out to make 48-hour dispatch the standard — not the exception.
Today we serve dealerships, franchise networks and independent service centres across the Europe, with a catalog of over 1,000 OEM-grade parts across six brands and growing
How We Work
What sets us apart
OEM Quality, No Compromise
Every part in our catalog is sourced from certified OEM or OEM-equivalent suppliers. We conduct incoming quality inspections and maintain full traceability from supplier to dispatch. If it doesn't meet spec, it doesn't ship.
Speed as a Standard
We hold stock in the UK and mainland Europe so that most orders dispatch within 48 hours of confirmation. We don't believe in quoting lead times measured in weeks for parts that should be on a shelf.
Specialist Knowledge
Our team has hands-on experience with Chinese automotive platforms. We understand the fitment nuances, the VIN structures, and the technical differences between model years — so you don't have to.
Trade-Only Focus
We work exclusively with trade customers — dealerships, franchise networks and independent service centres. This focus means our pricing, service levels and support are built around the needs of professional workshops, not retail buyers.
