Since 1945, we've been the one-stop-shop for all auto parts in Baltimore. Our family business has the largest inventory, the most experienced/ASE certified staff, and an operations system that would make an Army Drill Sergeant jealous. When you need parts, and you need them 10 minutes ago, you call Standard.
Some history:
Founded in October of 1945 by Jack Sutton, the Company sold auto parts, hardware supplies, and Gleem house paint. The original building on North Avenue was destroyed by fire on February 29, 1960.
The Company moved into its current building on December 20, 1965 and the hardware and paint side of the business was phased out. This allowed us to carry a huge inventory and establish our reputation for having the parts our customers need in stock.
In January, 2003 the Company opened a new corporate headquarters and distribution center in South Baltimore. The new location allowed us to expand the massive inventory that we need in order to supply our customers with the parts they need.
In June of 2007, we acquired a local three store operation called Action Auto Parts. By taking on all of Action’s employees, Standard Auto Parts combined the talent and experience of Action Auto Parts with the opportunity and huge inventory of Standard Auto Parts. We are more prepared than ever to provide the absolute best service to our customers.
Currently we employ over 135 people, and are considered the leading auto parts supplier in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Our dedicated and hardworking employees are our most valuable asset, and their commitment to customer service is what puts us above our competitors. We have been in business for over 65 years, and we know what it takes to make our customers happy; however we are always looking to achieve new levels of customer service.
