Midwest Parts Hub Joins Automotive Parts Associates as Shareholder
Automotive Parts Associates has added Midwest Parts Hub, a division of Fort Wayne, Indiana-based Kelley Automotive Group, as a shareholder.
Founded in 1952 by Jim Kelley, Kelley Automotive Group is a family-owned dealership group serving northeastern Indiana and beyond. Midwest Parts Hub opened in 2025 and supplies General Motors OEM, ACDelco, and aftermarket parts through an extensive inventory, daily delivery routes, and advanced technology systems.
“In today’s market, if you want to stay competitive, you need to be part of a program group,” said Mike Smith, parts director for Kelley Automotive Group. “Operating completely on your own is no longer effective. After evaluating our options, we knew APA was the right choice.”
“We are excited to welcome Midwest Parts Hub to APA,” said Steve Tucker, president of APA/TruStar. “Their long-standing commitment to service, innovation, and operational excellence makes them a tremendous addition to our shareholder family.”
Automotive Parts Associates Inc. is a shareholder-owned cooperative with more than 475 independent auto parts distributor locations across North America.
