Carquest offers one-stop shopping

The next time you need parts for your brush cutter, chain saw or your car or truck, the only name you need to remember is Carquest Auto Parts, they have it all! All Parts Incorporated, your Carquest Auto Parts store is located across from Post Office in Chalan Kanoa, and is open Monday through Saturday between 8am and 7pm.

So whether you work on your yard on the weekends, or like to do your vehicle repairs, a shop at Carquest Auto Parts on Friday evening after work should be on your list. You can get all the work out of the way first thing Saturday morning, and still have time to hit the beach with your family in the afternoon.

“One of the things that set us apart is the shopping convenience that we offer our customers. It provides an outlet for people to come in and shop at their convenience, not ours. We know how important quality family time is, and if we need to stay a little later at night for our customers’ convenience, we are happy to do it,” said Jim Ripple, who owns the store with his wife Agnes.

Customer service means much more than just the sale to Jim. Having worked in power plants and heavy equipment sales for over two decades, Jim enjoys giving customers advice and helping them solve their mechanical problems as well. With Jim’s background and expertise, he will become more that just your parts supplier, he will also become a trusted advisor and friend.

“When you come in, we will approach you and find out if there is anything we can do to help you. We want you to feel at home and relaxed. We want to recommend the item that will best meet your needs in the long run, not just the most expensive item.” Jim also says that their pricing is very close to stateside pricing, and he guarantees that they will be locally competitive.

With 7,400 square feet overall, and a showroom floor of 3,300 square feet, you’ll find a great selection and lot of hard to find items in stock. Whether you’re a weekend mechanic, or a professional, you’ll love the selection of KD tools, made by Danaher Corp.

At CarQuest, you’ll also find a full line of Echo lawn and yard products, from string trimmers, brush cutters, and leaf blowers to chain saws. And they also stock all the repair and replacement parts for them.

CarQuest Auto Parts carries everything from windshield wipers, to water pumps to hydraulic jacks, to Echo lawn and yard equipment. They are also the local distributor for Teklite dive lights and strobes.
