NAPA was founded in 1925 to meet America's growing need for an all-encompassing auto parts distribution system. Since then, NAPA has become the industry leader by combining steady growth with consistent expertise from quality people.

More than anything, it is the last part of that equation – our people – that has propelled us to the top of the industry. NAPA's manpower is unrivaled, with 5800 stores, 58 Distribution Centers, 13,000 affiliated NAPA AutoCare repair facilities, 320,000 parts in inventory, and thousands of ASE-Certified Parts Professionals. All of our employees are well trained to possess both auto parts knowledge and superior service skill. By joining NAPA, you will become part of the team that more people depend on to keep their rides, and their lives, running smoothly.

A unique strength of the NAPA system is our combination of national buying power, training resources, and distribution muscle with local ownership and commitment. Most NAPA Auto Parts stores and all NAPA AutoCare repair facilities are independently owned and operated businesses that have strong and time-tested community roots. NAPA people combine the best attributes of "Fortune 500" professionalism with the hometown values of honesty, hard work, familiarity with local needs, and pride.

We refer to this unique combination of "Main Street" people, tradition, and values with "Wall Street" training, resources, and buying power as "The NAPA Spirit." It is a primary reason that NAPA has evolved from a small group of pioneers to become the rock-solid industry leader. The NAPA Spirit is something that no national chain or stand-alone local store can duplicate, because it ensures that we will provide them all the best of what either of those business types can offer, and none of the worst.

The NAPA Spirit is portrayed by all of our employees, who recognize they are a part of something unique, a big company that is atypical of other big companies in all the right ways.
