When a job stalls because of a missing part, time isn’t just lost, it’s costing you money. That’s where The Workshop 1924's newest division, The Parts Lab, comes in.
The Parts Lab is a specialised parts sourcing service built for workshops, operators, and businesses that need the right part, without the runaround. We’re not a parts stockist. We’re the team that finds what others can’t.
Why parts sourcing matters more than ever
Sourcing parts for trucks, machinery, and older vehicles is no longer straightforward.
Between discontinued lines, international suppliers, aftermarket variations, and secondhand options, finding the right solution takes time and experience.
Most workshops simply don’t have the capacity to:
- Ring multiple suppliers
- Compare OEM and aftermarket options
- Navigate international sourcing
- Assess quality vs cost trade-offs
That’s where The Parts Lab bridges the gap. We take on the legwork, so you can stay focused on the job.
Built for hard-to-find parts
The reality is simple, hard-to-find parts happen. Whether it’s older truck components, obsolete and discontinued parts or urgent breakdown requirements.
The Parts Lab exists to solve exactly these problems. With established supplier networks, industry relationships, and hands-on experience, we specialise in tracking down parts that aren’t sitting on a shelf locally.
More than just findings parts
Parts sourcing isn’t just about availability, it’s about finding the right solution.
At The Parts Lab, we look at all viable options:
- New OEM parts
- Aftermarket alternatives
- Quality secondhand components
- International sourcing opportunities
Where appropriate, we can also work alongside The Workshop 1924 team to explore rebuild or fabrication solutions.
That means you’re not just getting a part, you’re getting the best outcome for your situation, timeline, and budget.
