Federated Auto Parts
Formed in 1985, Federated Auto Parts has now become the fastest growing auto parts distribution network in the nation. Presently there are 3,000+ Federated Auto Parts locations nationwide and that number is growing. This is due in part to our firm commitment to provide both the trained professional and the do-it-yourselfer with the best-known quality products at the most competitive prices.Our customers are assisted by our experienced counter professionals, frequently retrained to accommodate evolving technologies in the automotive aftermarket. To further this commitment, we have negotiated with America’s top automotive part manufacturers to offer their products, which meet or exceed O.E.M. specifications, to be part of Federated’s program. This ensures the customer that they are getting the highest quality parts available. Federated offers virtually every part needed for repair or maintenance, from your personal automobile to the fleet service of larger companies.
