Advance Auto Parts, Inc. operates corporate stores and serves independently owned Carquest locations, primarily in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The company utilizes a "blended box" strategy, fulfilling the needs of commercial repair shops and individual DIY consumers from the same retail locations. Its product portfolio includes batteries, brake pads, engine components, fluids, and various automotive accessories. In late 2024, the company divested its Worldpac wholesale distribution business to concentrate on its core retail operations and supply chain consolidation. Advance Auto Parts competes by maintaining extensive local inventory and providing rapid delivery services for professional mechanics.
