Workshop & Consumables

Parts Stop stocks workshop consumables — engine and gear oils from Valvoline and Nulon, additives from Lucas Oil, penetrants and lubricants from WD-40, Inox and Molytec, greases and oil equipment from Macnaught, cleaners and degreasers from Car Chem, DISSOL and Koala Auto Kare, metal polish from Autosol and California Custom, adhesives and sealants from Pro Seal and Gorilla, Nitto electrical tape, Vikan and Industrial Brushware brushes, plus rags, hand cleaner and the rest of it. On the shelf, ready to go.

Consumables are the things you don't think about until you're halfway through a job without them. That's the whole reason we keep them stocked deep rather than one-of-each — the point of a parts shop is that you drive in and drive out with it.

Two worth getting right: oil is specified to the engine, not to the bottle price — a heavy diesel, a petrol car and an outboard all want different grades. And a penetrant like WD-40 isn't a lubricant; it frees things and displaces water, but if the part's under load it wants a proper grease. Tell us the job and we'll point you to the right can.
