Automotive Parts Associates is a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative serving the automotive aftermarket through a program distribution model with a history spanning more than five decades. It creates substantial buying power for its members—roughly 60 independent warehouse distributors across North America—facilitating supplier programs and scale with minimal compliance requirements. Headquartered in Collierville, Tennessee, APA centers its activities on member services and supplier partnerships within the Memphis metropolitan area. The cooperative is a founding shareholder of NEXUS North America, participates in NEXUS Automotive International, and engages with industry groups such as AutoCare, Import Vehicle Community, and AWDA; in early 2026 it hosted SunSplash 2026 in the Dominican Republic, attracting around 600 attendees.
