The new location is designed to improve operating and energy efficiencies and provide better service to the CARQUEST Auto Parts stores in Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Wyoming who receive their products from the Salt Lake Distribution Center. The new location will also house a CARQUEST Auto Parts store. 

“We continue to enhance and invest in our distribution network to provide unparalleled customer service,” said David McCartney, President CARQUEST US. “The new Salt Lake Distribution Center is only one example of how we are committed to improving our ability to serve CARQUEST Auto Parts stores in the region.”

Located on California Avenue, nearly 22,000 vehicles drive past the building each day. It is also adjacent to Utah Highway 154, I-80, I-15 and I-215 allowing for convenient access for Distribution Center teammates as well as incoming and outgoing product shipments. The facility will be configured using state-of-the art material handling equipment, cross docking and a new RF scanner system.

CARQUEST Auto Parts has nearly 3,000 locations throughout North America. For more information, visit CARQUEST.com.
