About KaleCoAuto

Founded in 2001

KaleCoAuto was founded in 2001 by Kale Richards, a young man with a dream: To create a somewhat funny satire site combining classic car joke items like blinker fluid and brand new ideas like the engine oil bypass kit.

Since then, we’ve grown into the world’s leading fictional supplier of auto parts that range from plausible to ridiculous. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a garage philosopher, or a maniac with a Sawzall and a dream, we have the parts you didn’t know you needed and the advice you probably (definitely) shouldn’t follow.

What’s in a Name?

Our full name is KaleCo Automotive Supply, but to spare your fingers (and your search bar), we go by KaleCoAuto just about everywhere. It’s easier to type, harder to forget, and slightly less likely to autocorrect to something involving kale smoothies. You can call us KaleCo, Kale Auto Parts, or even just KCA if you please.

Our Core Values

Or at least what sounds good at the time.

  • DIY Spirit: Because instructions are just paper shame.
  • Innovation: If no one has done it before, there’s probably a reason. But we did it anyway.
  • Excellence: Every part we sell meets our strict standards of being technically real and emotionally dubious.
  • Customer Service: We’re here for you. Unless we’re on lunch.

Is this stuff real? The Merchandise (T-shirts, stickers, apparel) is 100% real and high-quality. The Auto Parts(Muffler Bearings, Blinker Fluid) are satirical. Please do not attempt to install our brake lines on a moving vehicle.
