“We welcome the Brandywine group to Team PRP. They have been an integral part of the automotive parts industry for over 80 years and their constant commitment to providing the customer with the best products and service backed by exceptional warranties is a perfect fit with the PRP vision. Their multiple locations allow us to provide excellent coverage in Maryland while strengthening our coverage in Northern Virginia and Maryland” said Kent Rothwell, owner of Weaver Parts and chair of Team PRP’s National Board.
Brandywine Automotive Parts started business in 1927 by the Meinhardt family. The company grew from a single gas station with towing service into 16 locations servicing the Washington Metropolitan area with more than 250 employees and thousands of cars dismantled every year. They are a full service auto recycler and new alternative parts provider focused on late model cars, trucks and SUV’s.
Woody Meinhardt is the current president and part of the third generation Meinhardt family ownership. “Team PRP is a natural fit for our growth plan and provides opportunities for expansion in purchasing and selling to the other PRP members. We also have access to PRP member’s nationwide inventory, which allows us to support our customers’ needs even more than we do now and allows us to continue to be competitive in the replacement parts environment. We are also excited to have access to PRP’s other member benefits including their additional product lines and training tools,” Meinhardt said.
Team PRP is the largest national network of independent auto recyclers united in providing replacement parts, warranties and personal service to the professional repairer. With nearly four million parts in inventory, a Team PRP member can offer their customers warranties, quote guarantees and delivery guarantees, the company said.
