INTERNATIONAL MOTORS

What INTERNATIONAL MOTORS does

International Motors Used Auto Spare Parts LLC is a privately-held Sharjah, UAE-based exporter and distributor of used automotive components, founded in 2020. The company sources pre-owned engines, gearboxes, half-cut vehicles, and refurbished parts for Japanese and Korean automobiles and heavy machinery through regional partnerships in Japan and Korea, and resells these parts globally via direct export, containerized bulk shipping (20ft/40ft), and loose-cargo wooden pallet packing.

The commercial operation runs on a standard e-commerce storefront (browse, cart, account login, quote request) supplemented by WhatsApp-based direct communication, with no proprietary software, AI, or data systems disclosed. Revenue is generated from per-unit hardware sales priced on a quote basis, with logistics and export-documentation services bundled for international buyers. Pricing is opaque and transaction-by-transaction; no enterprise contracts, subscriptions, or institutional funding have been disclosed.

Customers span three horizontal segments: automotive repair shops and mechanics, auto parts dealers and traders (both flagged as primary), and heavy machinery/fleet operators. Marketing is anchored by the company website, customer testimonials, and WhatsApp-driven direct sales. Ownership is founder-controlled with no external equity partners, parent holding company, or M&A activity identified. The company self-describes as having grown from a small family business into a group of companies worldwide.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Copart: Global online salvage vehicle auctioneer selling used vehicles and harvested parts to dismantlers and rebuilders. Closely comparable end-product (used/salvage automotive inventory routed to a global buyer base) but operates at vastly larger scale and via auction rather than fixed-price export.
• LKQ Corporation: Large publicly traded distributor of aftermarket and recycled/used auto parts across North America, the UK and Europe. Comparable as a wholesale-distribution model for collision and mechanical replacement parts, though far larger, multi-category and geographically diversified.
• IAA (Insurance Auto Auctions, part of Ritchie Bros.): Salvage and used-vehicle auction platform serving insurers, dealers and dismantlers in North America and increasingly overseas. Comparable supply-side model (totalled/used vehicles feeding the used-parts ecosystem) and similar international buyer base.

Direct peers

• Car-Part.com: Online marketplace aggregating used and recycled auto parts inventories from thousands of salvage yards across North America. Comparable as a digital channel connecting buyers with used mechanical parts, with similar inbound quote-request workflows.
• J&P Auto Parts / Japanese Engines Inc. US-based specialists importing used Japanese low-mileage engines, transmissions and JDM parts for resale. Directly comparable product mix (used JDM engines and gearboxes) and export-import business model.
• Al Mazroui Used Auto Parts (and similar Sharjah/Ajman salvage yards): Established UAE-based used auto parts dealers and exporters operating from the same Sharjah/Ajman industrial cluster selling Japanese and Korean engines, gearboxes and half cuts to African and South Asian buyers. Most direct geographic and product peer.
• U-Pull-It / U-Pull-&-Pay: Self-service used auto parts salvage yards primarily in North America where buyers pull engines, transmissions and body parts. Comparable core product (used engines and gearboxes) and DIY/independent-mechanic customer segment.

Regional players

• Bapcor Limited: Leading Australasian aftermarket auto parts distributor and recycler covering trade, retail, recycling and specialist wholesale (engines, gearboxes). Comparable mix of parts distribution and dismantling/remanufacturing, though focused on Australia/NZ rather than UAE export.

Others

• eBay Motors (used parts listings): Largest consumer-facing marketplace for used auto parts, including engines and gearboxes from Japanese/Korean vehicles. Comparable end-product and buyer; functions as a competing discovery and transaction channel rather than direct distributor.

Emerging players

• Salvex: Online B2B marketplace for salvage, liquidation and used industrial/automotive inventory with global buyer base. Comparable cross-border export of used automotive assets to wholesale buyers.
