UK Specialist Importer & Stockist · Steering & Suspension Parts · Founded 1989
Automint imports and stocks commercial-vehicle steering and suspension parts, supplying the national network of parts factors who keep trucks, trailers, buses and coaches on the road. Day to day, that means matching stock codes to OE references quickly and correctly — and when a straightforward part number doesn’t solve the problem, our technical team does.
How it works
Automint imports commercial-vehicle steering and suspension parts and holds them in UK stock — a five-figure SKU range, built up over more than three decades, so the range and the depth already exist before anyone needs them.
We supply the national network of parts factors, who distribute to the fleets running trucks, trailers, buses and coaches. Automint sells B2B, to factors — not directly to fleets or the public.
Most enquiries are straightforward: a stock code, matched to the right OE reference, dispatched fast. That reliability comes from depth of stock and technical know-how — and when a factor’s problem needs more than a straightforward match — an unusual application, a modification, a vehicle nobody else has seen — our technical and inbound sales team solves that too. It’s part of why Automint is a name virtually every commercial-vehicle parts factor in the UK already knows.
What we import and stock
We do not carry everything. We carry the commercial-vehicle steering, suspension and running-gear components the trade depends on — and where a competitor might sell one rationalised part across several applications, we stock multiple SKUs to match the exact original-equipment specification.
ŞEM tie rods, tie rod ends and connecting rods, plus king pins — the parts that keep a truck, trailer or bus turning and articulating correctly, supplied to the trade as OE-equivalent replacements.
Firestone Airide and SABO convoluted, rolling-lobe and sleeve air springs for truck, trailer and bus — one of the deepest ranges held in the UK.
BAGEN air tanks — Automint is BAGEN’s sole source for the UK, one of a small number of genuinely exclusive relationships behind this range.
SABO heavy-duty dampers — over 500 part numbers held, one of the largest readily available stock holdings in Europe.
HYDCAB hand-tilt pumps, cab-tilting cylinders and latches — performance-tested hydraulics for heavy-duty vehicles.
ŞEM engine, gearbox and radiator mounts — Automint is ŞEM’s sole source for the UK, supplied as original equipment across the industry.
Fifth-wheel parts, S-cams and cam kits for braking systems, and wheel bolts and nuts — the running-gear components that keep the rest of the vehicle together, held alongside the core range rather than sourced as an afterthought.
