Southwest Auto Parts

Southwest Auto Parts is an independent auto parts store at 5345 Southwest Ave, on the Southwest Avenue edge of The Hill. Better Business Bureau records list Joseph Barbaglia as owner and give a business start date of 1985.

The store is an authorized retail distributor for SEM Products, a maker of automotive refinishing and repair products. That makes it a local source for paint-related supplies as well as general parts. It is also listed among the shops in The Hill’s neighborhood retail directory, alongside the area’s bakeries, groceries and gift shops.

The store stands on the stretch of Southwest Avenue that forms The Hill’s southern boundary, a few blocks from the Italian markets and restaurants. The store does not appear to have its own website or social media, and no current source posts its hours or stock, so call ahead before making a trip for a specific part or paint product.
