They Can Copy Our Name, But They Can't Copy Our Cats: Avoiding Scammers Pretending to be Global Auto Parts

If you Google search “Global Auto Parts Stockton,” chances are we're right at the top. We’ve spent decades building a reputation for quality, reliability, and community trust — and a big part of that is our online presence. We’re incredibly thankful to all our customers, in-store and online — your loyalty keeps our family business running, and our shop cats happily napping on the counter!

But there’s an ironic twist: when scammers use our name to mislead people online, it’s our business information that victims often find first. Frustrated customers sometimes call us directly, thinking we’re behind missing orders or scams. While it’s unfortunate for them and heartbreaking for us, it’s a silver lining for others — it makes it easier to find the real business and avoid imposters.

How to Spot Imposter Businesses

• One Location Only: We operate only a single store at 7827 Thornton Rd, Stockton, CA. Any other “Global Auto Parts” location, or any other business or seller with a similar name is not affiliated with us.

• Verified Sales Channels: We sell parts only through our retail store or our official eBay store.

• What We Don’t Sell: We do NOT sell rims, wheels, engines, transmissions, or body parts such as bumpers, fenders, grilles, and hoods. If someone offers these using our name, it’s a red flag. We're a traditional auto parts store selling repair & maintenance parts from spark plugs to brake pads, oxygen sensors to timing kits, and other items you'd expect to find in a typical parts store like automotive tools, motor oil, chemicals and maintenance fluids. We're best known as a specialist for import car parts, and are a longtime AMSOIL retailer.
