Factory Motor Parts Acquires Auto Plus Stores


Recommended Posts

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,

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.

      I can not find the window motor, not regulator, for 2011 lincoln mkz hybrid. does anyone know any work arounds? does it have to be exactly FRONT LEFT, because multiple sites have every other side. last choice is junk yard but this model is not all that old nor rare in my opinion. 
      I know parts description doesnt have to be 100 percent exactly for the car Im looking for, but it worries me when I see contradicting descriptions. for example on FPG, they sell part 6E5Z-5423395-BA for a mercury milan and says it DOES fit my lincoln. but its not available FOR my car. is this just manufacturer confusion on my end? or should I get that part for a mercury?
