Car Part Paradise began as the dream of our founder, Sam, a lifelong car enthusiast with a passion for turning wrenches and bringing cars back to life. As a kid, Sam spent countless hours learning about cars—not just as a pastime, but as an obsession. While others played sports or hung out at the mall, Sam was daydreaming about engines, restoring classic cars, and everything in between.

At the age of 16, Sam bought his first project car—a well-worn 1971 Chevy Camaro RS that he spotted in a grocery store parking lot. That Camaro was more than just a vehicle; it was an education. Through late nights, scraped knuckles, and an endless hunt for the right parts, Sam rebuilt the car from the ground up. That experience didn’t just teach him how to restore a car—it opened his eyes to the challenges DIY car enthusiasts face when searching for affordable, high-quality parts.

Determined to make the process easier for others, Sam combined his love for cars with the power of the internet. After graduating college, he launched Car Part Paradise in 2008 with a simple mission: to create a haven for DIY car enthusiasts to find top-quality auto parts and accessories at fair prices, all in one convenient place.
