The Best Place For Parts And Service.
Service Is The Difference, We Get It
Our Mission: Exceptional Customer Service - By utilizing all available sales, management, technology and organizational methods, we provide the best value in service & auto parts.
We have been doing business with the AutoWares company for over 16 years. From the quality parts, friendly & knowledgeable people and timely deliveries to the annual training/education, they do a great job for us. It has been a great relationship and we look forward to working with them for years to come.
The number one thing I think I like about our local parts store is the people. The dedication to getting us handled and getting the right part the first time, and the quality of the parts. It’s just the whole package that Auto Value brings to us.
I am a proud customer of Auto-Wares because they have numerous qualified parts specialists who work hard to get the correct parts the first time. They also stand behind the parts that they sell and their service is second to none.
The biggest thing separating Auto-Wares from the competition is definitely our people. We couldn't have grown to where we are today without them. You aren't just a number here, you're a member of a team working towards being the best in the industry. That's why we're known on the streets as THE place that has what you need and can get it to you faster than the competition.
At AutoWares we are one big close-knit group. The relationships you build with fellow workers makes working at AutoWares more than just a job. AutoWares is a Midwest company that takes pride in its resources and people while building on opportunity. AutoWares and it's team leads the way
