Full description and what we offer
Factory Motor Parts (FMP) started in 1945 as Elliott Auto Supply Co., Inc. in Minneapolis. What began as a single location has grown into a network of over 300 locations across 35 states, making FMP one of the largest independent automotive aftermarket distributors in the country.
The company name itself reflects their heritage—acquired during their participation in the Chrysler Mopar Distribution network in the 1960s. That partnership foundation shaped FMP's commitment to quality and reliability that continues today.
FMP operates as a total resource for four primary customer segments:
FMP stocks premium quality original equipment (OE), import, and aftermarket parts across all major categories:
| Product Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Batteries | Full-service battery program, FMP is largest AC Delco PSC provider |
| Filters | Oil, air, cabin air, transmission, fuel filters |
| Fluids | Antifreeze, motor oil, ATF, DEF, automotive chemicals |
| Brake Components | Dedicated Professional Brake Program |
| Suspension | KYB Ride Control products |
| Climate Control | Radiators, condensers |
| Shop Supplies | Commodities and general shop supplies |
"The reason that I use FMP is that I am buying for my customer and FMP can provide me with quality products. Also, they always take care of any issues I may have. FMP is always my first call." — Mark Z., Owner, Tilden Car Care Center
FMP's service model includes:
FMP partners with major automotive brands and manufacturers to deliver quality products at competitive prices. They also developed the FVP (Factory Value Parts) line—OE-quality products engineered to match or exceed national brand performance at competitive pricing.
FMP provides automotive parts distribution internationally through operations in China and Israel, offering their full FVP product line.
FMP sponsors major automotive events and racing teams:
FMP's aggressive growth began in 1993, expanding from 3 locations to 32 locations within five years. The company entered major markets including Bismarck, Omaha, Phoenix, and Denver, building a nationwide network that now spans the Midwest, Mountain States, Southwest, Northeast, North Carolina, and West Coast including Alaska.
FMP's stated mission is to be the best independent automotive aftermarket company. Their approach centers on understanding customer needs, providing unmatched product availability, and building long-term partnerships rather than transaction-based relationships.
