Parts Authority announced a leadership transition that will see its current CEO and co-founder, Randy Buller, moving into the role of Chairman of the Board, and the welcoming of Clark Hale as the company’s new CEO, effective March 3, 2025.

Buller, along with his co-founders, Yaron Rosenthal, David Wotman and Steve Yanofsky, helped transform a once New York-based family business with less than 10 locations into a leading nationally-recognized automotive warehouse distributor with nearly 300 locations in 23 states and Washington, D.C., the company said.

Using his financial background, entrepreneurial mindset and automotive industry expertise, Buller helped build the business by offering an unparalleled depth and breadth of brand name inventory to customers, focusing on customer service, investing heavily in technology, and valuing team member satisfaction and professional growth,

explained.

“Over the span of 40 years, Randy drafted and executed the Parts Authority roadmap for rapid growth through both organic growth and M&A. As he transitions to the role of Chairman, Randy will continue to be fully available in providing support to Parts Authority, just as he has since 1980,” the company added.

“I know this feels like a big change, but I am very positive and confident in the future of Parts Authority. I look forward to continuing to do what I love, with people I love, while taking a small step back in the day-to-day. I’m thrilled to be handing the reins to Clark and I am looking forward to working with him to drive Parts Authority’s future success,” said Buller. [A letter from Randy Buller is provided

Parts Authority said Hale brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record to the company. He has been affiliated with Kohlberg & Company since 2019, and has also been serving as a member of the Parts Authority board of directors. 

“I want to thank Randy and his co-founders for entrusting me with leading the future of Parts Authority. It is an honor to be following in their footsteps in continuing on the legacy and culture of such a great organization,” said Hale. “I am very excited to take on this important next step in Parts Authority’s growth and evolution. I am confident that with our team, we can continue to demonstrate and execute on our commitments to our customers and vendor partners as the leader in the industry.”

      Great Experience with Subaru Parts Pros, Greatly Recommended!!!
      By Athrelle
      I recently ordered some OEM parts from link hidden, please login to view, and I was really happy with the whole experience. Their website is well-organized, making it easy to find the exact parts I needed for my Subaru. The prices were competitive compared to other sites I checked, and they had items in stock that I couldn’t find elsewhere.
      Shipping was faster than expected, and everything arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. The parts were exactly as described, and I had no issues with fitment. Overall, it was a hassle-free experience, and I’ll definitely be ordering from them again in the future. If you’re looking for genuine Subaru parts, they’re worth checking out!
