Alexander's Auto Parts

With decades of stop‑page‑and‑swap in the Bronx under its belt, Alexander’s Auto Parts keeps the neighborhood’s vehicles rolling. It lives inside a utilitarian strip just off Edward L Grant Highway, plain storefront marked by weathered glass and the occasional rust halo under the awning. The address reads 1441 Edward L Grant Hwy, Bronx, NY 10452, hard by the old elevated-trolley right-of-way that once rattled past Morrisania. Alternators and arm-shields hang on pegboard grids; door skins lean against steel racks. You’ll also spot ball joints, brake pads, radiator hoses, and a rotating carousel of used side-view mirrors—all in the open aisles so you can sight-line an exact fit before you commit. The counter sits toward the rear, where invoices curl beside a landline that still rings through to the counterperson’s elbow. Pick up what you need and queue there, or phone ahead; whichever feels faster on a patch Tuesday morning. Swing by the map once you’re wheeling south from 161st, and the pin will show the one empty diagonal space out front where you can double-park for thirty seconds while you pop in for a gasket. Simple dig-out, simpler drive-off.
