7 of the 12 junkyards, auto parts stores and recycling centers we list in Athens are auto parts stores.

Auto parts stores range from national chain counters stocking routine maintenance items to independent shops focused on specific makes, suspensions or heavy-duty components.

Good to know

Do auto parts stores carry OEM or aftermarket parts?

Most stock a mix of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) equivalents and third-party aftermarket brands. Specialized shops may carry higher-end performance components or factory-direct parts for specific import or domestic makes.

Can auto parts stores order items they do not have in stock?

Yes, most independent shops have daily deliveries from regional distribution hubs and can get non-stocked parts within 24 to 48 hours. Many counters will also help source obsolete or hard-to-find components through specialized networks.

Are prices higher at independent stores compared to major national chains?

Prices are often comparable for common wear-and-tear items like filters and brake pads. Independent shops may be slightly higher on niche items, but customers often prefer them for knowledgeable counter staff and better access to commercial-grade parts.
