Demon Tweeks is a British retailer, based on the Wrexham Industrial Estate, in Wrexham, Wales. They are heavily advertised in car magazines and commonly appear in car shows, which make them very well known amongst car, motorcycle and motorsport enthusiasts and those involved in these circles.

Demon Tweeks was founded in 1973 by Alan Minshaw, an accomplished racing driver who previously worked as a motor trade salesman. He founded the company when he recognised the need to supply racing drivers products under one roof.[1]

The company expanded to cater for the car modification and motorcycling market in the mid-1990s, and in 2004 was acquired by Minshaw's son, Jon Minshaw.[2]

The company has a workforce of 130, based in a 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) showroom.[3]
