FCP Euro

FCP Euro began in 1986 as a brick-and-mortar auto parts store in Groton, CT, founded by Harry and Kathy Bauer. In 2001, their son Nick Bauer and friend Scott Drozd moved the business online. Today, we sell Genuine, Aftermarket, OEM, and Performance replacement parts for European cars, serving owners and DIY enthusiasts.

Our online catalog has over 190,000 parts, including engine oil, brake pads, rotors, filters, and wiper blades. We stock products from manufacturers like Bosch, Sachs, Bilstein, Lemforder, Brembo, Liqui Moly, Corteco, ZF, and Akebono. We primarily serve owners of European vehicles such as BMW, Volvo, Audi, VW, Mercedes, Porsche, Rover, Jaguar, and Saab.

We generate over $200 million in annual sales, thanks to consistently reinvesting our profits back into the business. Our headquarters are in Milford, CT, where our two distribution centers total 100,000 square feet and hold over $15 million in inventory. We recently opened a new 146,000 square-foot warehouse in Mesa, AZ, which helps us offer “Coast-to-Coast Shipping in 3-Days or Less” to the Western US market.

All our products come with a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee, even on wear and tear items. This guarantee is possible because we’ve spent over a decade meticulously cataloging products with precise fitment data, performing quality checks, and continuously developing our offerings. We also offer free shipping on orders over $49 and a 365-day return policy. We provide technical support and have an extensive library of DIY instructional content to help car owners with maintenance and repairs. We’re always working to improve our supply chain by using data and analytics to optimize sourcing, inventory, demand planning, and logistics.

Our values center on selling high-quality replacement parts, excellent customer service, and providing technical support for DIY enthusiasts maintaining and repairing their European vehicles. We are committed to fostering a culture of service, quality, and ongoing improvement.

We aim to be the world’s most trusted resource for European vehicle ownership, maintenance, and repair, making the experience more enjoyable and lasting for car owners. A key principle for us is simple: if we wouldn’t use a part on our own cars, we won’t sell it to you.

FCP Euro has 201-500 employees. Our culture emphasizes service, quality, and continuous improvement. We believe that when employees care deeply about product quality and customer service, it leads to strong, lasting customer relationships and a better customer experience. FCP Euro has appeared on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies list in 2011, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2023.
