NPW Acquires Jim’s Auto Parts

National Performance Warehouse (NPW) has continued its expansion with the acquisition of Ft. Lauderdale-based Jim’s Auto Parts, the parts distributor announced.

Jim’s Auto Parts, owned by Jim Arpin, has been in business since 1962 and is the last of the Broward Group of independent auto parts stores that is now under NPW management, the company said.

“After 60 years in business you can imagine my concern with handing over my business,” said Arpin. “I have worked with the Paceys and NPW for many years and I consider them a well-respected organization and, like my company, is family owned and has family values. With their infrastructure and greater buying power, they will make sure that Jim’s Auto Parts will continue to be a part of and expectedly a bigger part of the auto parts business in South Florida.”

On the NPW side we have these words from Chris Pacey, NPW’s COO and Executive VP; “We are glad to have Jim’s Auto Parts under the NPW umbrella,” said NPW’s COO and Executive Vice President, Chris Pacey. “Our family has known, been friends with and worked closely with Jim for many years. We look forward to working with all the great people Jim has brought along and grow the business he started.”
