lordco mission parts supplier

Founders Roy Lord and Ed Coates, the “Lord” and “co” in Lordco Auto Parts, opened the door to their first auto parts location in 1974, in Maple Ridge, British Columbia (BC), Canada, and quickly established a reputation within the community for selling reputable auto parts and for offering exceptional customer service. As their reputation grew within the industry, so did the number of Lordco locations throughout the province.

In 1980, Ed bought Roy’s stake in the business and expanded its presence in BC. Sadly, Ed passed away in 2014. To honour his legacy, Ed’s wife, Marlyn, and children, Samantha, Ian, Sarah, and Candace, founded the Ed Coates Memorial Foundation. His family continues to grow the business according to Ed"s values and principles as members of Lordco Auto Part"s Executive Leadership Team.
