Arnold Motor Supply recently moved to a new location in Waterloo, Iowa.

The 19,500-square-foot facility provides improved retail space, expanded inventory and additional distribution capacity.

The move merges the Cedar Falls and Waterloo stores into a larger facility so the company can continue to support the growing aftermarket parts and supplies needs of its customers.

“The average age of vehicles on the road continues to rise, with industrywide shortages of new and used vehicles, amplifying the demand for replacement parts,” said Eric Johnson, president and managing partner at Arnold Motor Supply.

Adding a distribution hub in the Waterloo area will allow for better access to parts for Arnold’s area stores and, ultimately, the customer.

“Our customers don’t have time to wait,” Johnson said. “When they need a part, they typically need it right now.”

Arnold Motor Supply is excited to continue to serve the Cedar Falls and Waterloo communities at the 2710 Wagner Road location.

Arnold Motor Supply is a member of the Auto Value network of independent distributors, auto parts stores and professional service repair shops located throughout the world.
