About Us
Making the future better, by selling the past
Based in Carnesville, GA, Road Tested Parts (“RTP”) provides customers with both mechanical parts, such as engines and transmissions, as well as collision parts, including door assemblies, lights, fenders, trunk lids and hoods. At RTP, we leverage data to enhance our purchasing and procurement capabilities and employ rigorous quality standards to ensure our customers receive the highest quality OEM parts. With locations in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio, we pride ourselves on best-in-class service to our customers across the East Coast, and our growth strategy is predicated on the desire to expand our offering to businesses and consumers throughout the entire United States.
Our Vision
Our vision is to become the most prominent distributor of OEM recycled automotive parts, offer significant growth opportunities and upward mobility to our employees, and continue to deliver top level service to our customers.
Our roots are deep, but our journey is just beginning.
As a platform for capitalizing on future growth opportunities, Road Tested Parts continues to expand its footprint by opening new facilities and via targeted acquisitions of like-minded operators. In July 2022, Lacy Auto Parts, Inc. was acquired by Road Tested Parts, becoming the second company to operate under the RTP umbrella. Similar to Weaver Parts, Lacy Auto Parts has a long history of family-owned roots dating back over 80 years, and the third-generation Lacy operators have joined the Road Tested Parts management team. Road Tested Parts continues to pursue transformational acquisitions that complement the existing network of Road Tested Parts companies.
Road Tested Parts continues to expand its presence in the industry with the addition of All Foreign Auto Parts in January 2023 and Bessler Auto Parts in February 2023. Most recently, Raceway Auto and Truck Parts joined the fold in March 2023. Road Tested Parts continues to build a brand that represents founders and innovators in the industry, and we look forward to increasing our national presence as we expand the RTP network into new markets.
