The Network Extends West Coast Reach With Addition Of Fast Undercar

GERMANTOWN, Tenn. – The Automotive Distribution Network has expanded its footprint on the West Coast with the addition of Ventura, Calif.-based Fast Undercar to membership, according to Mike Lambert, president of the Network.

“With four corporate locations and 28 franchise stores serving markets throughout Southern California as well as in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, Fast Undercar will prove to be a valuable member as the Network continues to strengthen its reach and recognition out West,” Lambert said.

Fast Undercar was founded in Ventura by Bruce Douglass and Victor Davis in 1996. The company says it will utilize the Network’s broad range of marketing and product programs and IT initiatives to more effectively serve the warehouse distributor’s growing customer base.

“Fast Undercar is committed to being the premier supplier of quality automotive products to professional installers of all types, including independent service dealers,” Davis said. “In addition to quality parts, we pride ourselves on being a tier-one service provider. We feel the Network’s national marketing efforts will be a huge asset to us as part of our continued growth strategy.”

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.”
