About FCP Euro

FCP Euro was established by Harry & Kathy Bauer in 1986 as a small brick and mortar auto parts store in Groton, CT. 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 $100 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. We’ve committed ourselves to building a culture of service, quality, and continuous improvement - because we know that if our employees care deeply about our products, it will be reflected in what our customers receive. In Milford, CT, our total of 100,000 square feet FCP Euro Distribution Center space between two locations stocks over $15 million of inventory and has developed a highly efficient distribution model that has the ability to ship out almost all orders placed within 24 hours. Everything sold by FCP Euro is backed by an industry-leading comprehensive, Lifetime Replacement Guarantee - including wear and tear items like wiper blades, brake pads, and more. We can do this because we’ve spent over a decade tirelessly cataloging our own products with precise and accurate fitment data, checking quality of every single brand line and part, and constant development by our products team.
