Regional expansion Empire Auto Parts is rapidly expanding its distribution footprint, with recent facility openings in Dallas and Houston, Texas, and a broad network across 27 states. Sales opportunities exist in establishing strategic partnerships with local collision repair shops and quick-service fleets in newly served markets to capture first-mover benefits and build loyalty.

Extensive catalog With over 800,000 parts covering 675 vehicle makes and models, there is substantial cross-sell potential to shops handling multiple brands and eras. Targeted outreach can promote bundled kits (radiators, cooling components, door parts, lighting, etc.) and value-added services to maximize cart size and streamline procurement.

Direct quality control Empire’s involvement in production, packaging, and shipment decisions yields high-quality parts and low return rates. This can be positioned as a reliability differentiator in pitches to repair shops dealing with cost of returns, encouraging longer-term contracts and preferred vendor status.

Integrated procurement Fully integrated with electronic procurement platforms (CCC, OPS, PartsTrader) and their own web portal, Empire appeals to multiple purchasing workflows. Sales opportunities exist in onboarding programs for repair networks and multi-shop operators to simplify ordering and drive recurring revenue.

Signature services Nationwide daily delivery via Empire drivers and regionally located support teams offer fast, dependable service and strong warranty coverage. Leverage these advantages to target time-sensitive collision repair shops, body shops with high SKU turnover, and fleets seeking reliable, same-day restocking and responsive support.
