Arch Auto Parts Opens New Store; Adds Fleet And Heavy-Duty Truck Parts And Services

Arch Auto Parts, an aftermarket auto parts supplier in Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island, New York, has announced the grand opening of its new store at 145-91 Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, Jamaica, NY 11434. Arch Auto Parts says it has embraced the supply of truck and commercial fleet parts and machine shop services that had been the focus of Sunrock Auto Parts, previously in the same location.

Arch Auto Parts has expanded both its product line and services to serve the medium- and heavy-duty truck and commercial fleet customers in Queens and Brooklyn that Sunrock has been serving faithfully for almost 60 years. Arch Auto Parts now stocks brakes, belts and hoses, diesel, air, oil and fuel filters, lights, bearings and other parts for medium- and heavy-duty truck applications, in addition to its complete line of high-quality parts for cars and light truck applications.

Arch also has expanded machine shop services to meet the needs of fleet and commercial vehicles. Arch Auto Parts now provides custom machine shop services, including resurfacing flywheels of all sizes, fabricating hydraulic hoses, pressing wheel bearings and hubs, pressing ball joints and compressing struts.

The new Arch Auto Parts – Guy R. Brewer store has been completely renovated inside and out, to maintain the building’s unique character, and also provide the best possible shopping experience for both retail and commercial truck and auto parts customers.

Arch Auto Parts also welcomed Bob Casteleneto and Jimmy Hughes to the Arch Auto Parts team to continue their careers of parts expertise and service – now as part of Arch. “It’s great to be able to focus on what we like best – helping our customers – and let Arch take over all the day-to-day administration and management of the business,” said Bob Casteleneto. “Our long-time heavy-duty and fleet customers are happy to find that now with Arch, we can offer them even more OE-quality brands – all at great prices.”

The new Arch Auto Parts store is the 11th store for the commercial and retail auto parts chain. A member of “The Group,” Arch Auto Parts Guy R. Brewer can offer customers a wide selection of high-quality parts and more competitive prices. OE-quality aftermarket parts for medium- and heavy-duty trucks are now available from all 11 neighborhood Arch Auto Parts stores.

“It’s a win-win for all of us,” said Moe Ali, vice president of sales for Arch Auto Parts. “Bob and Jimmy get to continue in the parts business they love and work at their previous ‘home store.’ Arch Auto Parts gains a great store location near JFK, expanded machine shop services, and excellent staff, who are continuing to serve their commercial customers and now welcome retail customers. And JFK area shoppers gain access to Arch’s 50,000 OE-quality parts, all at discount prices.”

The continuation of service by key Sunrock employees exemplifies Arch Auto Parts’ commitment to providing valuable parts expertise and quick, friendly service to local customers in every neighborhood it serves.

Federated Auto Parts Distributors announced it is entering into a collaboration with the Association of Independent Oil Distributors (AIOD) – one it said will focus on mutual benefits for the respective members.

“Federated is constantly looking at ways to improve value for all constituents and this agreement provides that,” said Sue Godschalk, president of Federated. “This collaboration provides added volume and opportunities for our suppliers, new partners for our members, and added supply points and products for shop customers. We have enjoyed working closely with several AIOD members in the past and this agreement will expand and create further opportunities for both Federated and AIOD.”
