TPH and Southern now have excellent coverage throughout Alabama and the Florida panhandle. We are thrilled to add them to our network of parts professionals.”

Steve Kampwerth, former President/CEO of Southern Distributors, added, “Combining our team and six facilities with The Parts House, extends our reach and enhances our ability to supply professional automotive technicians with great brands, great service and great inventory.  The combined entities will enable us to stock, store and deliver even more parts faster to techs throughout the Southeast.”
