Advance Auto Parts Testimonial

"Advance Auto Parts is one of the largest automotive parts and supply distributors with over 3,600 stores nationwide. As the project manager for over 30 locations, I work closely with our maintenance managers to maintain each facility.

To keep a DC running, I need good people and good partnerships with my vendors so I can move product in and out. At Advance Auto Parts, we move thousands of automotive parts and supplies through our distribution network daily and we rely on dependable equipment, service and parts to achieve our productivity requirements. That’s why we choose to work with Crown. I’ve been a Crown customer since 1999 and I won’t buy parts from any other vendor. I depend on them to provide the service, parts and supplies I need and when I need them—and they deliver every time.

 

We run Crown lift trucks, and when I need a part, I want Crown parts. Crown Integrity Parts keep my trucks up and running. I can’t have operators standing by waiting for a truck to be repaired. In the past I used look-alike forklift parts, and often these parts didn’t fit properly or didn’t last as long as Crown parts. Most were inferior. Look-alike parts may seem less expensive at first, but when you replace the part twice as often, include extra labour cost and additional equipment downtime, then you’ve just increased your overall repair cost.

Crown Integrity Parts is one of our best business decisions for maintaining our material handling assets. To me, Crown is all about integrity. They are honest, reliable and dependable. On a personal level, Crown’s parts program means ‘peace of mind’. With Crown, our equipment runs longer and repairs are faster, which equates to higher operating time and less maintenance cost."

“With Crown Integrity Parts, our equipment runs longer and repairs are faster, which means more uptime and less maintenance cost.”
