The National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA), also known as NAPA Auto Parts, founded in 1925, is an American retailers' cooperative distributing automotive replacement parts, accessories and service items in North America.
There are over 6,000 NAPA Auto Parts stores across the United States. 1,110 NAPA stores are owned by Genuine Parts Company, and the remainder are independently owned. 15,000 NAPA AutoCare repair facilities are in operation which provide vehicle maintenance and repair services.
Outside the United States, NAPA operates in Canada through the UAP (United Auto Parts) division of Genuine Parts Company and NAPA Autopro repair facilities in Canada, Mexico and other locations throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.
In April 2013, Genuine Parts Company acquired Exego Group, a leading automotive parts and accessories distributor in Australasia. The company sells automotive accessories and parts under the Repco name in Australia and New Zealand.
NAPA carries automotive replacement parts, paint and refinishing supplies, automotive accessories, farm and marine supplies, tools and equipment, and heavy duty parts.
NAPA also operates a parts repackaging company known as Balkamp.
NAPA is an official sponsor of NASCAR and currently sponsors the No. 24 Chevrolet SS of Chase Elliott and Hendrick Motorsports in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. The company sponsored the No. 56 Toyota Camry driven in the Cup Series by Martin Truex Jr. for Michael Waltrip Racing up to 2013 and also sponsored Michael Waltrip from 2001 to 2009 when he drove for Dale Earnhardt, Inc., Bill Davis Racing, and his own team. All four of Waltrip's wins were with NAPA as his sponsor, including the 2001 and 2003 Daytona 500's. NAPA also sponsored Truex's brother Ryan in the K&N Pro Series East and was the sponsor for multi-time champion driver Kelly Moore in the same series. NAPA dropped its sponsorship of MWR after a major scandal during the 2013 Federated Auto Parts 400. In 2014, NAPA began sponsoring JR Motorsports' Chase Elliott in the Xfinity Series. In May 2015, NAPA announced it would become the majority sponsor of Elliott and the No. 24 Chevrolet team in the Cup Series with Hendrick in 2016.
