Effective June 12, select Auto Plus locations became Factory Motor Parts (FMP) stores, FMP announced on its website.
The sale comes after Auto Plus won bankruptcy-court approval to sell most of its locations to FMP after the company disqualified a different bid under suspicion of impropriety,
link hidden, please login to view Earlier this year, Icahn Enterprises announced that Auto Plus was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In a news release, Icahn Enterprises (IEP) blamed ”lessened demand, supply chain disruptions, an inflationary environment and the effects of COVID-19” on the parts distributor’s struggles.”
“Since acquiring Auto Plus, IEP has invested significantly in transformation and restructuring initiatives and has loaned significant amounts to Auto Plus but has obviously been disappointed in the results of these investments and the continued losses that Auto Plus has experienced,” the company said in January. “As a result, IEP has determined that it would no longer be prudent to continue to loan money to Auto Plus at this juncture unless done in connection with a restructuring process.”
FMP’s new locations will have inventories for all makes and all models combined with aftermarket brands as a result of the transaction, according to Factory Motor Parts.
Founded in 1945 as Elliott Auto Supply Co., FMP has grown from a small, single location in Minneapolis to more than 300 locations in 19 states. The name was acquired from its participation in the former Chrysler Mopar Distribution network of the 1960s.

BendPak has opened a new 90,000-square-foot building on its Alabama campus, nearly doubling the size of its East Coast logistics and distribution center.
The expansion has enabled the company to dramatically increase its inventory capacity and call-center staffing to provide faster order processing and shorter lead times for customers in the eastern half of the United States, according to Santa Paula, California-based BendPak.
Shortly after establishing its original 100,000-square-foot Alabama facility in early 2020, BendPak bought the adjoining property and began work on the new building. The state-of-the-art facility features warehouse space, multiple docks, covered flatbed staging and loading areas, administrative offices and a call center.
“Opening this new facility is part of our ongoing efforts to maximize product availability while minimizing time-in-transit to customers across the United States,” said Rudy Diaz, BendPak chief operating officer. “It’s fully stocked with the most popular lifts and shop equipment from across our brand lineup, including BendPak, Ranger, QuickJack, Cool Boss and Dannmar, all supported by a dedicated team of local employees.”
The distribution center is strategically located in the heart of one of America’s largest logistic hubs in Mobile County, Alabama. With easy access to three major interstates and five Class I railroads, it offers next-day or two-day delivery to a large portion of BendPak’s customer base in the eastern United States. BendPak’s California operation handles shipping and order fulfillment services for some 15 western states.

Advance Auto Parts announced the opening of five new Carquest retail locations throughout Central California.
The new stores are owned and operated by Jack Gosnell, a Carquest independent owner and president of Next Level Parts.
The new stores are located at:
1730 Jackson Ave., Escalon 412 S. Yosemite Ave., Oakdale 910 E. Weber St., Stockton 1557 Morgan Road, Modesto 924 G St., Modesto The stores carry an assortment of leading name-brand aftermarket parts and products, including DieHard batteries, which are owned and sold by Advance and Carquest. Parts at these stores will cater to both professional repair shops and do-it-yourself customers. Additionally, stores will carry products for heavy-duty machinery and farming and agriculture equipment.
Gosnell’s journey as a Carquest independent owner began in 1999 when he opened his first store in Turlock. Since then, he has added seven Carquest locations throughout the region, including new stores opened this summer in Oakdale, Escalon, Stockton and two in Modesto. Next Level Parts also operates Carquest locations in Merced and Manteca.
“Since opening our first Carquest, we have been passionate about serving motorists in this community,” said Gosnell. “Whether they are taking their kids to school, making their daily commute or need parts to perform their job, we will always go the extra mile to make sure they have the parts they need. These new locations will enable our team to reach more customers across Central California, and we’re excited to be part of these communities for years to come.”
“Jack and Next Level Parts have been outstanding members of Carquest’s network of independent owners,” said Junior Word, Carquest executive vice president of U.S. stores. “For over 20 years, his team has been committed to providing customers with the highest quality parts and services. We are thrilled for Jack and his recent expansion and look forward to witnessing the success of his new stores.”
