POWELL AUTO PARTS
CARQUEST
YOUR FIRST SOURCE FOR AUTO ACCESSORIES AND AFTERMARKET PARTS.
LOCALLY OWNED FOR 30 YEARS
At Powell Auto Parts, the pride of local ownership and service excellence is well ingrained into our business model. We have been serving Greater Hamilton and Grimsby for over 30 years.
PRODUCTS & SERVICES
Through our partnership with CARQUEST Canada, we are able to provide you with high-quality auto parts. We also carry some products from other suppliers, continuing a longstanding relationship with Frat Filters.
UNDER-CAR PRODUCTS
Demand continues to grow for under-car products, such as brakes and front-end parts, while demand for under-hood products has declined as engine quality improves. Sixty percent of our business is under-car products, versus 40 percent from under-hood. Ten years ago, the split was 50/50.
ABOUT US
Our first auto parts venture, (Atlas Supply Co) opened its doors to public at Victoria Avenue South in 1970. The current generation of owners took over the business in 1983 as agents, and changed the store over to McKerlie Millen in 1994. The store was later moved to its current location at 238 Gage Avenue North. A location that over the years became a landmark in the local neighborhood!

About 70 percent of the business is in top-brand, first-line products. Whereas 30 per cent is in “white box” second-line parts.
“This year we’re seeing second line grow a little bit,” Ron says. “The consumer seems a little more price conscious versus quality conscious.”
