Mapco
About Mapco: A German Legacy of OE-Quality Auto Parts
Mapco has been a trusted name in the automotive aftermarket since 1977, delivering original-equipment-quality replacement parts to drivers and repair shops across Europe and beyond. Now operating as part of TERREPOWER GmbH and distributed from a state-of-the-art facility near Berlin, Germany, Mapco has spent nearly five decades building a reputation grounded in technical precision, robust construction, and broad vehicle coverage.
The brand got its start as a specialist in brake system components — an area where it still commands serious respect. Mapco's catalog has since grown to encompass well over 20,000 part numbers spanning more than 100 product families, covering vehicles from Alfa Romeo to Volvo and virtually every major European, American, Japanese, and Korean manufacturer in between. Whether you're maintaining a daily commuter or keeping a premium European sedan on the road, Mapco's lineup is engineered to meet or exceed OE specifications.
Steering & Suspension: Mapco's Core Strength
Mapco expanded into suspension and steering components in 1985, and this segment has grown into one of the brand's defining strengths. Today, Mapco is estimated to hold roughly 20% of the German market for steering components — a remarkable figure that reflects decades of investment in engineering and quality control. Their Rack and Pinion Assemblies are a cornerstone of this reputation, with a deep catalog of both mechanical and hydraulic units designed to restore precise, responsive steering feel. Alongside rack and pinion units, Mapco produces a robust line of Steering Gear Boxes that covers a wide range of vehicle applications, making it easier for technicians to find the right part without compromise.
Complementing their steering expertise, Mapco's Wheel Bearing Kits provide complete, ready-to-install solutions for front and rear axle service. These kits are designed to include all the hardware needed for a proper installation, reducing the risk of missing components and saving valuable time in the shop.
Engine Maintenance Made Simple
Even routine maintenance items receive Mapco's attention to detail. Their Engine Oil Drain Plugs are manufactured to precise tolerances, helping ensure a reliable seal during oil changes and preventing the stripped threads or leaks that can result from using lower-quality hardware. It's this commitment to quality across every segment — from major assemblies down to small fasteners — that sets Mapco apart as a full-range parts supplier.
Coverage, Quality, and Confidence
Mapco products meet European requirements for vehicle spare parts and conform to German quality standards for industrial components. Their electrical components carry the added assurance of TÜV Rheinland certification, underscoring the brand's commitment to safety and reliability. With a warehouse footprint of over 118,000 m² and efficient global logistics, Mapco ensures that the right part is available when and where it's needed. For mechanics, fleet managers, and enthusiast wrenchers alike, Mapco represents a smart balance of German-engineered quality and competitive value.
