Partsinmotion.co.uk sees real growth as trade demand surges

PartsInMotion.co.uk saw significant growth in 2025 driven by strong demand for core steering, braking, and powertrain components, with garages under more pressure than ever to deliver quick turnarounds and keep labour times low.

Matt Gates, Director at PartsInMotion.co.uk, said: “Core safety and driveline components continue to dominate workshop workload - reinforcing that routine inspection and maintenance remain central to garage businesses.”

The popularity of suspension arms, brakes and related components reflects several ongoing trends in the sector. An ageing fleet and increased wear, as more vehicles are on the road, more frequent replacement cycles are required for parts exposed to everyday stresses such as potholes, braking loads and mileage accumulation.

Plus, there is a heavier focus on safety and compliance, as MOT advisories and customer expectations rise, workshops are prioritising parts that deliver reliable, long-lasting performance. End users are also more informed than ever, meaning garages need to offer transparent service and parts quality to remain competitive.

Gates added: “Our mission has always been simple. To make it easier for technicians to get the right part, when they need it - without costly delays or guesswork. The fact we’re selling millions of parts annually, across core repair categories, shows that model is working.” 

As the market heads into 2026, PartsInMotion.co.uk expects trends in demand to surge further thanks to greater emphasis on parts availability for safety-critical systems, seasonal demand patterns shaping stock strategy and ongoing expansion of product lines to meet evolving vehicle parc needs

Gates continued: “We’re heading into 2026 with a clear view of what garages need. From proactive maintenance parts to essential repair components, we’re ready to support the trade with speed, choice and value.”
