Axle began in 1994 as a trade counter on a Tyseley industrial estate in Birmingham, selling brake parts and filters to local garages.
The counter staff learnt to find the right part from a vehicle handbook and an old part on the desk. They still write the fitment notes on every listing.
Today Axle ships parts, accessories and garage tools across the UK from the same Birmingham warehouse, with part numbers and plain-English install notes on every page.
