CARQUEST and FIX AUTO Enter strategic Partnership Agreement

FIX AUTO has named CARQUEST as the exclusive supplier of automotive parts to the FIX network. In addition, CARQUEST will provide equipment and leasing services to FIX members. Through this agreement, FIX will be able to offer its members a national supplier agreement for all automotive parts.

“Our goal in working with CARQUEST is to establish a strong partnership with the nation’s leading automotive parts distributor,” said Doug Kelly, president and COO of FIX AUTO USA. “CARQUEST is committed to supporting independent repair centers and they have coverage everywhere -- two important factors when partnering with suppliers.”

Both companies have agreed to support each other in the growth of their business. Said Art Lottes, CARQUEST president: “We view this as more than just a supply agreement. FIX AUTO USA and CARQUEST are both quality companies that are focused on the customer. We are confident that this partnership will build value for both organizations and for the customers of FIX AUTO.”

CARQUEST began in 1974 with 100 auto parts stores. Today there are nearly 4,000 CARQUEST stores in North America.

The FIX AUTO Network was established in 1997. Headquartered in Anaheim Hills, Calif., FIX has 148 locations in the U.S. and 135 locations in Canada, making it North America’s largest network of independent collision repair centers.
