Transitioned to an online store in 2001 by their son Nick Bauer & friend Scott Drozd, we have grown to become a leading eCommerce provider of Genuine, Aftermarket, OEM, and Performance parts for European cars. Throughout our journey the company’s values have remained the same: sell only the highest quality replacement parts, provide unparalleled customer service, and offer the do it yourself enthusiast technical support to help fix and maintain their vehicles.

Today, FCP Euro has grown to over $200 million in annual sales funded through the continuous reinvestments of its profits. On our website, we maintain a sharp focus on high-quality parts of all quality tiers.
