Sign in Search OUR STORY In the Beginning… Founders Roy Lord and Ed Coates, the “Lord” and “co” in Lordco Auto Parts, opened the door to their first auto parts location in 1974, in Maple Ridge, British Columbia (BC), Canada, and quickly established a reputation within the community for selling reputable auto parts and for offering exceptional customer service. As their reputation grew within the industry, so did the number of Lordco locations throughout the province. In 1980, Ed bought Roy’s stake in the business and expanded its presence in BC. Sadly, Ed passed away in 2014. To honour his legacy, Ed’s wife, Marlyn, and children, Samantha, Ian, Sarah, and Candace, founded the Ed Coates Memorial Foundation. His family continues to grow the business according to Ed's values and principles as members of Lordco Auto Part's Executive Leadership Team. From our humble 900-square-foot beginning, we have grown to become Canada’s largest privately held automotive parts distributor and Western Canada’s largest distributor and retailer of aftermarket parts and accessories, with over 80 store locations – including nine truck centres, seven centralized distribution centres, more than 2,000 employees, a 500-vehicle strong delivery fleet, and over 360,000 part numbers in our system. We serve our customers from our locations in Western Canada, and we are proud to actively support the communities in which we do business.
