We are so much more than a Parts Store and we are looking for even more great talent to join our NAPA family!

  • Have gained your parts experience by working the automotive industry or have gained your experience tinkering with/repairing cars & trucks through the year
  • You are willing to learn all things automotive if you don’t have the background in automotive parts.

And if you have this, even better (not a deal breaker if you don’t):

  • Background and/or passion for automotive industry, heavy equipment, farm industry, diesel, marine, or dealership.
  • Experience in a parts store, auction, retail store, auto body/collision
  • Knowledge of cataloging AND/OR inventory management systems, a plus
  • Entirely customer-centric (external/internal)
  • ASE Certifications

What’s in it for you:
