Joe’s Motor Spares is a well-established used auto parts distributor that boasts over 35 years of experience. They’re known to be a reliable and leading supplier of spare parts for all car brands, even rare makes, which makes them one of the best.

They’re also the largest used spares dealer in Gauteng with an extensive collection of several categories of spare auto parts. We’re impressed to hear that they have over 20,000 products in their inventory.

Customers also appreciate how eager the shop is to assist them in sourcing out secondhand rare auto spares. 

Another feature we appreciate about this store is its fair pricing for its products. One of their missions is to offer high-quality used parts at affordable rates, which we admire.

We like how customers can easily browse through their online shop. On top of that, Joe’s Motor Spares also offers a nationwide delivery service, which is a big plus for customers who won’t be able to drop by the store. 

Nonetheless, it’s worth mentioning that there are a few grievances from past customers about delayed deliveries.

We also have some issues with regard to the behaviour of some of Joe’s Motor Spares’ staff members. There are recurring complaints from previous customers about their experiences with rude and yelling personnel, which raises a red flag for us.

Lou Appel’s Auto Spares is another used auto parts dealer in Johannesburg with a very strong business reputation. They are one of the first in the business and were established over 50 years ago.

Since then, they were able to grow and expand to more branches in Gauteng.

One of the things that impressed us about this shop is its product inventory. They stock parts for a wide range of car brands, including BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz, among others.

We’re also satisfied with the overall quality of the parts they distribute as we’ve seen how meticulous they are in ensuring functionality and safety. It’s also a big plus for us that they give out warranties for all purchases.

In addition, Lou Appel’s Auto Spares offers nationwide delivery which makes it easier for customers to shop. All their products are also available on their website which allows customers to search for the parts they need by brand, model, and year.

They do have a bunch of loyal customers, though, so some of their products are often out of stock.

We like how Lou Appel’s Auto Spares is well-staffed with experienced technicians. Many of their previous customers also compliment their staff for being passionate and attentive to customers’ inquiries, which we commend.

Their prices are a little higher than those of their competitors, though, so make sure to do your research first before buying.

Bonerts is a Johannesburg-based company that specialises in salvaging vehicles and distributing auto parts. Their strong business reputation is one of the reasons why we included them on our list.

They were established in 1965 as a company that sourced accident-damaged vehicles from insurance companies, making them one of the earliest businesses built for this purpose in the city.

Despite changes in management over the years, Bonerts remains one of the most popular dealers of salvaged cars and car parts in town. 

One of the things that stands out about Bonerts is the wide range of car parts they offer sourced from damaged vehicles. Their selection includes parts from different car brands, which is particularly useful for those in need of brand-specific parts.

We like that they always have on-hand stocks, especially for in-demand used auto parts like engine parts. However, they don’t list their products on their website, so customers looking for specific parts need to call and inquire, which can be a hassle for customers.

Bonerts has an experienced technical team that includes passionate and knowledgeable car technicians. Customers appreciate the team’s apparent expertise in the field, as well as their commitment to serving customers.

It’s also a plus for us that the company offers delivery of the parts ordered. This is great for customers living far from the shop as there’s no need to make the trip to the store every time customers need something.

However, some customers have expressed frustration with Bonerts’ customer service. The company has been unresponsive to calls, and some customers have experienced dealing with rude staff, which is disappointing.

Speedway Used Motor Spares has been distributing used auto spares for the last thirty years and is well-established in the industry. They are highly valued for their efficient service and provision of exceptional auto parts at affordable prices.

They’re also well-staffed and customers appreciate their team of professional technicians, who are highly skilled and genuinely passionate about cars and parts. 

We love how Speedway Used Motor Spares has an extensive collection of different used auto parts that can be easily accessed through their online shop. However, some highly sought-after used parts, like transmissions and body parts, can be limited. 

Speedway Used Motor Spares also prides itself in delivering top-notch quality products, which hundreds of its previous customers vouch for. They also deliver orders nationwide, which we appreciate. 

They are also committed to providing fast and reliable servicing, with commendable after-sales care. 

Their representatives are known to be hands-on in assisting customers, both virtually and in-store, and are highly accommodating, which are green flags for us. 

While there have been occasional reports of delayed responses to customer queries and complaints, their representatives are quick to apologise and resolve the issues, which is commendable.

Motor City Spares is a well-known option for those in search of high-quality used motor vehicle spares. They are among the highest-rated companies providing their services in and around Gauteng, which we find impressive.

We’ve included them on our list primarily because of their broad range of spare vehicle parts, which includes all car brands. We also love the fact that they always have products in stock.

Another reason why we like this shop is that they have an online shop live on their website where customers can easily browse through their catalogue to check for availability and options. 

Motor City Spares is also known for its efficient servicing and prompt deliveries, with some customers receiving their orders in less than 24 hours.

For those who prefer to shop in person, Motor City Spares’ scrapyard is open and has been complimented for being clean and organised. Additionally, customers appreciate the reasonable rates for good-quality secondhand hubcaps and other auto parts.

However, customer communication may not be Motor City Spares’ strong suit. Potential customers have complained about the difficulty of getting in touch with the company’s representatives to inquire about product availability and quotes, which isn’t ideal.

Lastly, some customers have experienced being assisted by rude staff members, which raises a concern for us.
