Jaybe Auto Parts was co-founded by Joseph Kaplan and Ben Keogh, two ambitious young entrepreneurs with a shared vision: to make a bold entrance into the OEM auto parts industry and raise the standard for quality, service, and reliability.
Fueled by a passion for automotive excellence and a deep understanding of what customers really need, Joseph and Ben launched Jaybe Auto Parts to provide genuine, high-quality OEM parts at competitive prices. Their goal is simple—make it easier for shops, mechanics, and everyday drivers to access the parts they can trust.
As a fast-growing startup, we’re constantly expanding our inventory and refining our operations to better serve our customers. Every day, we work to add new products, streamline our service, and stay ahead in a rapidly changing industry.
At Jaybe, we don’t just sell parts—we build relationships, drive innovation, and push boundaries. We’re just getting started, and we’re excited to have you along for the ride.
