The NAPA name has made a big impact in the automotive aftermarket in Ireland and the UK in recent years. Although relatively new to this part of the world, NAPA is an organisation with a very long and proud heritage and is this year celebrating 100 years in car parts.  

The National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA) was established in 1925 to meet America’s need for an effective parts distribution system.  Throughout the decades, NAPA expanded to distribute NAPA-branded parts alongside industrial parts, electronic materials, commercial vehicle parts, and more. The brand has become synonymous with trust, professionalism, and tradition across the globe. 

More recently, NAPA has established itself as a market-leading brand in Ireland and the UK. With more than 40 product categories, NAPA offers a comprehensive catalogue of OE-quality aftermarket parts, accessories, and consumables.  

The championship-winning NAPA Racing UK team has further launched the brand into the spotlight with a strong presence in the BTCC, MINI Challenge, and more. NAPA Truck keeps fleets moving with a quality range of commercial vehicle parts, while the brand has some 6,000 locations globally.

In May 2025, NAPA says it is proudly celebrating its 100th anniversary with a renewed commitment to driving the industry forward. A variety of birthday activations are taking place across the globe throughout May and the rest of the year.

NAPA Auto Parts UK&I are celebrating with a month-long Spin to Win promotion, offering customers a chance to win over 23,000 prizes, including a trip to the legendary SEMA Show in Las Vegas, F1 tickets, and more.  

Motorsport fans can join NAPA’s birthday celebrations at the BTCC race weekend at Brands Hatch, taking place on 10-11th May 2025. 4-time BTCC champion Ash Sutton will sport a striking vintage livery on track and fans can get their hands on a range of limited-edition merch and novelty items at the trackside NAPA Shop.

In early June, NAPA will be in attendance at Automechanika Birmingham as a Diamond Headline Partner, with a unique display celebrating 100 years of the NAPA brand.
