Winchester Auto Parts Santa Cruz

Winchester Auto Parts was founded in 1976 with a small
store on Winchester Blvd. in Campbell, Ca. We have expanded into a 5 store chain servicing Santa Clara and Santa Cruz Counties. Our continued commitment to the highest possible service, largest selection of cutting edge parts and accessories, latest technology, and prices second to none, have kept us in the forefront of automotive do-it-your-selfers, and professional installers alike.

If you have ever had a chance to visit one of our 5 locations, you would have noticed something unique, quite different than other auto part stores. We are not a mass merchandiser or mega-chain auto store which specializes in oils and "mechanics in a pour can". On the other hand, we don't typify your standard old time mom and pop parts store with wooden shelves, front stools, and a 2 inch layer of dust covering the entire front of the store. We are a finely tuned blend of both, offering you large, clean, well lit, organized automotive stores, with extensive inventories. In each store, a knowledgeable crew with years of hands on mechanical experience, and a concerned owner/manager promise and guarantee you the finest service anywhere.

We have one of the largest selections of high quality automotive parts and accessories anywhere. We've got everything you need for your conventional passenger car, light truck, R.V., sport utility vehicle, or 4x4. We also carry performance parts for your new or classic specialty vehicle. All five of our locations are open 7 days and evenings and most holidays, with machine shop service available. We turn brake drums and rotors and press bearings 7 days a week. Service, Service, Service, that's the Winchester Auto creed. We have over 40 delivery trucks running all over Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, in most cases offering you "priority one" special orders in less than 2 hours, 7 days a week. When you phone one of our stores, you will talk to an experienced counter-pro, who will be able to give you the information you need, and supply you with the right part, at the right price, backed with the industries longest warranties. When you're tired of dealing with bored, inexperienced retail clerks in chain auto part stores, give Winchester Auto a try, and see what professionalism and service are all about
