PORT CHARLOTTE, FL (February 27, 2025) — The National Auto Body Council® is proud to announce that National Auto Body Parts Warehouse powered by Parts Authority, a leading automotive parts distributor headquartered in Lake Success, NY, with more than 250 locations across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West, Pacific Northwest, and the Southwest, has joined the NABC® as a level two member. As a level two partner, National Auto Body Parts Warehouse powered by Parts Authority will work alongside an elite consortium of collision repair facilities, rental car companies, parts and materials providers, insurance companies, automotive recyclers, salvage companies, towing companies, industry consultants and more to serve communities across the country with programs that help change and save lives every day.
Parts Authority, founded in 1973, is a leading national distributor of automotive replacement parts, tools/equipment, and transmissions. Parts Authority has grown through both organic initiatives and acquisitions. Over the past several years, Parts Authority has acquired over a dozen companies as part of its expansion strategy. National Autobody Parts Warehouse, Inc. opened its doors over 28 years ago, and
National Auto Body Parts Warehouse powered by Parts Authority was formed in December 2024 when the company opened locations in Arizona and New Jersey to serve as key resources for collision repair shops. Both locations offer an extensive inventory of high-quality replacement collision parts, including a full line of CAPA certified parts, ensuring that shops have access to the reliable components they need to meet rigorous industry standards.
“We are honored to welcome National Auto Body Parts Warehouse powered by Parts Authority to the National Auto Body Council® as a level two partner for 2025, and we look forward to growing our relationship with them,” said Tom Wolf, chairman of the NABC®. “They have tremendous experience serving the automotive industry and will bring that expertise and resources to our organization and key initiatives to serve those in need in our communities.”

ABOUT THE NATIONAL AUTO BODY COUNCIL®
The National Auto Body Council® is the premier organization of collision industry partners dedicated to strategic networking opportunities that positively change lives in the communities we serve. The collaborative membership of the National Auto Body Council® has gifted more than 3,500 vehicles and provided extrication opportunities for some 6,000 First Responders in communities around the country through the NABC Recycled Rides® and NABC First Responder Emergency Extrication (F.R.E.E.™) programs. That effort equates to a 4:1 ROI in dollar value delivered from NABC® membership dollars. The NABC Changing and Saving Lives Foundation, a 501c3 organization, is committed to the goal of driving change for veterans, military members, first responders and families in need, while harnessing the power of the collective membership of the collision repair industry to positively impact communities where we live and work. As demand for NABC® programs like NABC Recycled Rides® and NABC F.R.E.E.™ grows, so do the needs for resources to manage these important programs. Being able to pursue grants, gifts and donations allow NABC to expand these programs to serve those in need and help communities where we live and work.
