The National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA), also known as NAPA Auto Parts, founded in 1925, is an American retailers' cooperative distributing automotive replacement parts, accessories and service items throughout North America.
Operations
There are over 6,000 NAPA Auto Parts stores in the United States, approximately 1500 of which are owned by Genuine Parts Company. The remainder are independently owned. 15,000 NAPA AutoCare repair facilities are in operation which provide vehicle maintenance and repair services.
Outside the United States, NAPA operates in Canada through the UAP (United Auto Parts) division of Genuine Parts Company and NAPA Autopro repair facilities in Canada, Mexico and other locations throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.
In April 2013, Genuine Parts Company acquired Exego Group, a leading automotive parts and accessories distributor in Australasia. The company sells automotive accessories and parts under the Repco name in Australia and New Zealand, but in 2017 began branding with the NAPA banner, first with a store in Logan City, Queensland, and since re-branding their Ashdown Ingram stores Australia wide, to fall under the NAPA Auto Parts banner as well.
In September 2017, Genuine Parts Company acquired Alliance Automotive Group (AAG), a leading European distributor of vehicle parts, tools and workshop equipment. AAG is the second largest parts distribution platform in Europe and focuses on light vehicle and commercial vehicle replacement parts. Headquartered in London, AAG has 7,500 employees and over 1,800 company-owned stores and affiliated outlets across France, the U.K. and Germany.
Products and services
NAPA carries over 500,000 items, including automotive replacement parts, paint and refinishing supplies, automotive accessories, farm and marine supplies, tools and equipment, and heavy duty parts. NAPA also operates a parts repackaging company known as Balkamp.
Sponsorships
NAPA currently sponsors Chase Elliott and Hendrick Motorsports in the NASCAR Cup Series, and have sponsored Elliot since 2014. NAPA also sponsors Ron Capps in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series; they have remained a sponsor since 2007. The company has previously sponsored Michael Waltrip from 2001 to 2009 and Martin Truex Jr. from 2010 until 2013 when Truex and the Michael Waltrip Racing team were implicated in a race manipulation scandal at the 2013 Federated Auto Parts 400.
