The Jegs Story

Why do millions depend on JEGS for their high performance car parts? It is simple-from the iconic mail order catalog to a fully-stocked digital commerce experience, we have built a preferred destination for every gear-head, professional racer, weekend warrior and restoration nut who wants to take their vehicle to the next level.

Around here, we don’t just sell parts we rely on them when driving our own cars around racetracks, dirt trails, and interstates aross the country. Parts may be our business — but grease, fuel, exhaust, power, and speed are what we live for.

In The Beginning: Speed & Service

A hot rod enthusiast frustrated by the unavailability of quality car parts in his Midwest hometown, Jeg Coughlin decided to create a solution. In 1960, he launched JEGS Automotive out of 4,000 square foot shop in Columbus, Ohio.

The first store was half garage, half parts store. Jeg worked on hot rod engines for friends part-time, filling the remaining time hunting down the best performance parts in the country to sell at his shop. With a little ingenuity and a lot of hard work, Jeg soon became the guy everyone wanted to see for performance car parts.
