Where it started
From one workshop in Aston to 19,000 SKUs
OEM Quality Wing Mirrors began in a railway-arch workshop in Aston, Birmingham in 2008, set up by Sam Patel after a year of failing to find a properly-fitting replacement for a courtesy van he was running. The first month's stock was 40 boxes of glass for the original Ford Transit. The second month was 80.
Eighteen years later we're the country's largest independent specialist for replacement wing mirror glass and complete units — 19,000 SKUs in stock, dispatched same day from our 14,000 sq ft warehouse just down the road from where it all started. We supply trade body shops, fleet operators and DIY drivers in roughly equal measure.
What hasn't changed: every part is sourced to OEM specification, we'd rather not list a SKU than list one we wouldn't fit ourselves, and the phones still get answered by people who can talk you through the job.
