Looking to the Future

Over the past decade, Advance Auto Parts has been able to continually grow while retaining the same principles and passion that were engrained in the company when Arthur founded it. Our teammates have been celebrated for their dedication to their work, their leadership in representation, and their passion, living the our culture each day we come to work. In 2018, Advance Auto Parts moved our headquarters to Raleigh, NC. In recent years, Advance welcomed CarQuest and WorldPac into the Advance Auto Parts brand as well as America’s most trusted battery, DieHard.

Advance Auto Parts is now the leading automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America with 4,706 stores and 266 Worldpac branches primarily within the United States, with additional locations in Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The company also serves 1,317 independently owned Carquest branded stores across these locations in addition to Mexico and various Caribbean islands.
