Automotive Parts Associates

The APA Board of Directors and staff are back from another fantastic AWDA & AAPEX! We continued our tradition of hosting our annual cocktail party, with this year's party being held at Rockhouse. With nearly 230 attendees, it was an incredible evening of networking, celebrating, and connecting with industry peers in a lively atmosphere. Thank you to everyone who joined us – we’re already looking forward to next year!

The APA Board of Directors and staff are in Las Vegas for 2024 AWDA Annual Business Conference & AAPEX! Last night, we kicked things off with a fantastic dinner at Canaletto, thanks to our generous sponsor, FCS Automotive International Inc. Today, we dived into our first day of AWDA meetings—excited for what’s ahead!

Cold temperatures may reduce your tire pressure by as much as 10 PSI, which can trigger your TPMS light. If the light remains on after adjusting the pressure to the correct PSI, it might be time to replace those sensors. Good news for APA & TruStar customers! This month, you are eligible for an exclusive deal: receive a $5 rebate for every pair of Standard Motor Products TPMS sensors bought via an eBiz Nexpart site. Keep your tires in check and save while you do it!

Happy Halloween from APA & TruStar! We hope your day isn’t as scary as seeing this. But if it is, remember our shareholders and members have the parts you need to get it fixed! 🎃🚗

Congratulations to our own Drew Fondren for being selected to join Young Auto Care Network Group's social media subcommittee! Be sure to follow YANG on LinkedIn to keep up to date on the latest news and upcoming events!
