Newark Motor & Export Corp

Big-box parts chains can’t always keep odd parts in stock after a model disappears; Newark Motor & Export Corp fills the gaps for mechanics and hobbyists alike. They chase down discontinued parts for classic cars and hard-to-find imports, which is why the back shelf often surprises visitors. Imported radiators, alternators from rare European marques, and even vintage ignition components all turn up in time. If the label reads “no longer available,” they try to source it elsewhere. Two blocks east of the PATH tracks at 241 Avenue P, the shop occupies a roomy corner unit squeezed between bodegas and rental yards. Compressors hum alongside rack after rack of starters and sensors; timing belts wait in labeled bins for quick swaps. Import hubs run on tight inventories, so this corner acts like a relief valve when a do-it-yourselfer hits a dead end. Late-model domestic parts share space with traction-control modules; they carry fuel pumps for 2010 SUVs next to carburetors from 1985 muscle cars. Everything lands on the counter within minutes if it’s in the system. Need a condenser for a 1976 sedan? A call ahead usually does the trick. Call 201-589-7456 to see whether there’s still a waiting engine mount or headlight bezel. Pull up the directions page before you leave Jersey City—parking on Avenue P is easier after the morning surge.
