9th June 2025: GSF Car Parts, Europe’s fastest-growing motor factor, has just opened its latest new branch, investing in the Bolton area for its next phase of growth.  

This is the third new branch opening within a month, joining Stourbridge and St Austell that went live in May. Another nine branches will follow over the next few months. 

The investment represents a significant step for GSF as it focuses on growth in 2025. This follows investment across branches, distribution and stock levels throughout 2024. 

The branch moves into a 6,400 square foot unit in Bolton features a shopfront, office and stock storage. 

The branch is located on Lecturers Close and will serve local independent garages as well as supporting local regional branches in the North West.  

14 jobs have been created at the site, and seven brand new vans will operate from the branch.  

Matthew Warren, Divisional Director, GSF Car Parts, commented: “Bolton is an area that’s previously been just outside the reach of our existing branches, so we’ve decided to strategically invest there to give independent garages in the region access to our stock and deliveries. Our other branches in the areas of Manchester, Merseyside and Preston will also benefit from being able to further localise and offer our unbeatable service to customers. 

“The investment across the GSF branch portfolio is massive and will significantly improve our availability to customers not only with these new sites, but existing ones too.” 

Bolton Branch Manager Kyle Robinson added: “We’re excited to have our Bolton branch finally open, and we cannot wait to bring the GSF customer experience to the local area. We want to be known as the motor factor that puts the customer at the heart of the operation, so getting to know the customer needs early and building relationships will be a key priority for my team.

“We are there for the hard-working independent garages to help them grow and stay future-proofed.”
