MicksGarage, Ireland’s only car parts and accessory website, has launched into the UK market.

The company, which started trading in Ireland in February 2004, has built up an online listing of over 40,000 products. Product will be dispatched direct to UK customers from six supply depots in Britain.

The company plans significant brand-building activity in the UK during 2006.

Ciaran Crean, managing director of MicksGarage, said: "The UK represents a logical step for our business. We can deliver our parts to any location in the UK within 48 hours and having researched the existing online car parts market over there, we can offer a greater level of value and service than the existing UK online retailers. All customer interaction will be managed through our telesales centre based here in Ireland."
