We sell parts to people who have a car waiting outside
South China Star (Guangzhou) Auto Parts Co., Ltd. supplies aftermarket Mercedes-Benz and BMW parts to independent workshops, distributors and online sellers. Minimum order is one piece, because that is usually what the job actually needs.
Established 2017 in Guangzhou, inside an auto parts group ecosystem founded in 1992. 10+ years exporting premium European parts — and nothing but the Mercedes-Benz and BMW aftermarket.
Two marques, the parts that fail on them
PAWODIKE is the export brand of South China Star (Guangzhou) Auto Parts Co., Ltd.. We hold stock in Guangzhou and ship it to workshops, distributors and online sellers who need a specific Mercedes-Benz or BMW part, identified by its original number rather than by a model name.
Two marques is a deliberate choice, not a limitation. Both have large fleets still on the road, both document part numbers down to the chassis code, and both have an aftermarket supply chain mature enough that a non-genuine part can actually be built to the original specification. Carrying ten marques would mean shallow stock in all ten, and shallow stock is what causes the wrong part to go out in a box marked with the right number.
Which parts we carry follows the same logic. We stock the components that fail — engine mounts, water pumps, control arms, air suspension, A/C compressors, wiper systems — not the ones that rarely do. A catalogue of 765 numbers that are actually on the shelf is more use to a workshop than two thousand that are not.
What you see on this site is a selection. The range behind it runs to 50,000+ SKUs held at our Guangzhou operation center, and anything not listed here is quoted against the number you send us.
The one-piece minimum is not a marketing line. A workshop with a car on the lift needs one unit of one number, correct the first time. So does anyone testing a new supplier before committing to a pallet. We built the business around that order rather than treating it as an exception.
South China Star (Guangzhou) Auto Parts Co., Ltd. company profile and PAWODIKE customer policy.
Manufacturing under our own roof
40,000 m² under one roof, in Changshu, Jiangsu — from old core to retest.
40,000 sqm site, motor division + machining division, in-house end-to-end. 30+ years of motor remanufacturing, traceable to China's first automotive starter and alternator remanufacturing operation (1986, within the PAWODIKE Group lineage).
Our 40,000 m² Changshu, Jiangsu facility, motor division plus machining division, end to end under one roof.
PAWODIKE Group's manufacturing lineage traces to 1986 — China's first automotive starter and alternator remanufacturing operation.
120 staff on site, including 10 engineers and 10 QC technicians, monitored against the original specification.
Lead drafter of GB/T 28672-2012 and GB/T 28673-2012, the national standards for remanufactured starters and alternators.
102 × 67 × 76 mm box, our own PAWODIKE die-cut. The label on the outside matches the part number on the inside — a generic brown carton with a sticker is not how a parts catalogue stays auditable.
Six systems, listed by number
A short list on purpose. Every number below is one we hold or can get, matched to a chassis code rather than to a model name.
- EngineMounts, ignition, air intake and filtration.1 part
- CoolingWater pumps, thermostats, coolant hoses and cooling fans.1 part
- SuspensionControl arms, shock absorbers and air suspension.1 part
- BrakesBrake pads, discs and wear sensors.1 part
- ElectricalA/C compressors, switches, blower motors and HVAC components.1 part
- TransmissionOil pans and transmission components.0 parts
- Body & InteriorWiper systems, gas struts and interior trim.1 part
Four kinds of customer, one catalogue
The same catalogue serves a one-piece order and a mixed pallet. What changes is how you use it.
One car on the lift, one part holding up the job. You need a single unit that fits the first time, not a box of ten. Minimum order is one piece.
You consolidate twenty different numbers into one shipment. Six systems under one supplier means fewer vendors to chase, and one piece lets you test a line before you commit to it.
Listing accuracy decides your return rate. Every photo on this site is shot from our own stock, and fitment is listed by chassis code rather than by model name.
The same numbers, ordered again and again. Availability is shown on every page — in stock, made to order, or check with us — so you know which it is before you place the order.
Four things have to be true first
It resolves to a number we can check
A part goes into the catalogue under an OE number we can match against a chassis code. If a number cannot be resolved, it does not get listed — shipping something close is how comebacks start.
We photograph our own stock
No catalogue renders and no supplier stock photos. The item in the picture is the item in the box, which is the only way a buyer can check a casting or a connector before paying.
Availability is stated, not hidden
Every page says which it is: in stock, made to order, or check with us. The point is that you find out before you order rather than after you have paid.
The specification is the original one
Replacement parts to the original specification — not tuning or modified components. If a part deviates from the OE number it replaces, it does not belong here.
Four cross-checks before we confirm a number
A part that does not fit costs you more than a part you do not have — it costs freight, labour and your customer's trust.
Matched to the original part number.
Decoded for your specific vehicle.
Engine, gearbox and options checked.
Verified against competitor part numbers.
We confirm the OE number with you before shipment. Fitment confirmation is free, and low-MOQ trial orders keep the first purchase low-risk.

Our own Mercedes-Benz and BMW workshop fits and validates products in real repair scenarios before they reach our recommended list — problems are found in our workshop, not in your warehouse.
You receive parts that have already passed a real repair bay.
- 03A product mix built to sell, not a price list
Control arms, cooling, engine, sensors and engine mounts are the market-proven fast-movers that keep generating repeat orders.

We may not be the supplier that tells the best story, but we can offer you more stable products, a clearer path, and more room for long-term cooperation.
Five steps, and where the waiting happens
A buyer who does not know when he will hear back goes to the next supplier. Every step below has a time attached.
- 01Send the number
The OE number off the old part, the VIN, or a photo. We can identify it from any of the three.
- 02Get a price
A quote with price and lead time attached, in your inbox within 4 hours during business hours.
- 03Approve it
You confirm the number and the quantity. Nothing is picked or packed before you say so.
- 04We dispatch
Stocked items leave in 3–7 days. Tracking goes out the same day the parcel does.
- 05Fit it
Covered for 12 months against manufacturing defects. If it is wrong, see the warranty page for how returns work.
The lines we do not cross
Saying what we are not is cheaper than arguing about it after the parcel arrives.
We do not sell genuine parts
Ours are aftermarket parts built to OE specification. We are not an authorised dealer for Mercedes-Benz, BMW or any vehicle manufacturer, and the packaging says so.
We do not sell tuning parts
No performance or modified components. Every number here replaces an original part with the same specification.
We do not quote landed prices on the page
Listed prices are FOB Guangzhou. Excludes freight and import duties. Both depend on where the goods are going — tell us the destination and we will quote the full cost.
We do not guess
If a number does not resolve to a chassis we can confirm, we say so instead of shipping something close. A wrong part costs you a comeback and costs us a return.
