Alert Engine Parts: reliable supplier of automotive spare parts since 1946

Passenger, light and heavy commercial vehicle owners in South Africa and Namibia can count on Alert Engine Parts for quality motor vehicle parts and excellent customer service.


The list of reliable automotive and spare parts industry players in South Africa and Namibia can’t be complete without mentioning Alert Engine Parts. Established in 1946, this thriving business enterprise has grown in leaps and bounds to establish a strong business presence in South Africa and Namibia, with 19 branches in major business centres.

Alert Engine Parts was established with a vision of being a leading and credible supplier of engine components and other motor vehicle spare parts. To fulfil this vision, Alert Engine Parts supplies vehicle parts for passenger, light and heavy commercial vehicles in both petrol and diesel applications, including medium, commercial, and agricultural vehicles across the Southern African automotive aftermarket. To date, this business has developed capacity and distributed premium engine components for over 3 500 models.

Quality products guaranteed

Alert Engine Parts is strongly committed to excellence in its product sourcing and supply chain. It is for this reason that supplied engine components and vehicle spare parts are meticulously chosen from premium world-class suppliers and tested for performance, quality, and value.

All products supplied are selected from world-class suppliers and OE manufacturers and warranted for 12 months or 100 000 kilometres against material and manufacturing defects. Customers can, therefore, choose between premier international brands or Alert house brands at any of their numerous branches in South Africa and Namibia at an affordable price.

In the event of any product failure, the business reserves the right to examine the failed engine and parts, including lubricants related to the claim, to determine the exact cause. The provided warranty does not cover the products bought from other distributors on behalf of customers.

There are few industry players who can match Alert’s quality products and professional service anchored around in-depth market research, branded quality and experienced expertise.

In a nutshell, Alert Engine Parts always has the right brands and spare parts to suit diverse customer budgets.
