Motorcar Parts of America, Inc.
A maker of remanufactured auto parts, Motorcar Parts of America rebuilds starters, alternators, brake calipers, and wheel hub assemblies that independent garages and retail chains sell to everyday drivers. It was founded in 1968 by Mel Marks, who started the business importing European and Japanese parts out of his home in Jericho, New York, before pivoting to remanufacturing in the 1980s. A fun detail: as a 19-year-old Navy veteran, Marks answered a newspaper ad for a shipping clerk job, and his boss paid for him to study auto mechanics — training that set him on the path to starting his own company.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over all recorded history: -1.66M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
