Bob’s Speed & Auto Parts, Inc.
About
Bob’s Speed & Auto Parts is a Quincy auto parts store that has served greater Boston and the South Shore since 1967. It caters to both backyard and professional mechanics, stocking premium brand-name parts for car enthusiasts alongside more economical options. Daily deliveries from suppliers keep shelves full, and when a part is out of stock or not normally carried, the store can usually get it within hours.
The business began in the mid-1960s in a basement in Mattapan, where a young drag racer named Bob sold high-performance equipment to fellow racers out of his father’s house. He soon moved out of the basement and added general auto parts and accessories to the racing gear. Today the company has more than 25 employees, and its showroom carries performance, truck and auto accessories, cleaners, waxes and automotive chemicals.
