Welcome to Alan Quine Ltd
A little about us
For over 40 years, Alan Quine (Parr Lane) Ltd has been a trusted independent motor factor supplying quality car parts, accessories, and cycling gear to customers across Manchester and the UK. What began as a small, local parts shop has grown into a well‑respected business known for reliability, expertise, and genuine customer care.
Founded in the early 1980s, Alan Quine set out with a simple mission:
to provide motorists, mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts with the right parts at the right price , backed by honest advice.
