Irish motorist have had something of a love affair with German car marques for many years. It is a relationship that continues to blossom and the fact that German cars tend to stay on the road longer means demand for replacement components for German cars is always healthy.

Based in Walkinstown, German Auto Components is a specialist supplier that has been catering for this demand since 2008. The business specialises in supplying parts just for German manufacturers, with particular emphasis on Mercedes and VW. Founder and owner, Frankie, Alaa Sungoqiah, says, "We have  a very wide range of parts for German cars and especially on Mercedes and VW we have many unique items available that motor factors generally will not offer. This usually means that a garage has to accept an expensive dealer alternative, but we can usually meet demand from stock and with a big cost saving.”

Frankie, who is a trained mechanic with vast experience on Mercedes cars, puts his specialist knowledge and expertise to work and has been able to identify components most prone to failure and source these parts from quality suppliers. He comments, "Because we are dealing with these vehicles every day we generally know what the problems are and we can often steer a technician in the right direction saving them and their customer time and money.”

Over the years Frankie has put together an impressive list of suppliers mainly from Germany, Denmark and Spain and the company holds a wide range and depth of stock in its extensive warehouse to cater for demand immediately. It means parts can often be supplied faster that main dealer alternatives and at a much reduced cost.

An experienced team of 8 staff are on hand provide specialist information and supply an effective delivery service with 2 vans serving the Dublin area and an overnight courier service nationwide. Frankie says, "We have customers right across Dublin and an expanding base of business around Ireland. More and more garages are now finding that when it comes to specialist parts for Mercedes and VW models, one call to us means they can have a high quality and cost effective solution.”

As well as new parts German Auto Components also offers a wide selection of used parts for Mercedes Benz and has expertise in supplying parts for classic Mercedes, VW and Porsche models.
