Creates Largest Automotive Aftermarket
Parts Provider in North America
The General Parts acquisition advances our capabilities as an industry leader in e-commerce. Worldpac’s speedDIAL and
Carquest’s WebLink are two of the largest internet-based, commercial focused sites in the industry. Worldpac’s exclusive on-line
fulllment ordering system is the most widely used and advanced program in our industry and essential for conducting business
with import installers.
As we combine the institutional experience and
capabilities of Advance including our in-market
inventory availability, technology, store portfolio
and DIY experience together with General Parts,
we will be able to leverage our collective size,
scale and capabilities to serve our existing
customers better than ever and uniquely position
us to acquire new customers.
We are also very excited by the addition of
General Parts’ talented and experienced senior
management team. The General Parts team
brings with them signicant commercial industry
experience, institutional knowledge and long-
standing commercial relationships. With over 130
years of combined company experience, Advance
and General Parts have parallel histories of
successful growth through acquisitions supported
by outstanding Team Members. Culturally, our two
companies share complementary operational
strengths and values. These cultural synergies
and common values are critical elements of
success in any acquisition and we are well
positioned as we look ahead.
At Advance Auto Parts, we believe that service
extends beyond our doors into the communities
