Arlington, TX – October 31, 2025 – Driven Distribution Group (DDG), a leading warehouse  distributor of automotive aftermarket hard parts, consumables, and accessories, has announced  the acquisition of Quality Parts Warehouse (QPW), based in Garland, Texas. DDG is supported by  HCI Equity Partners, a private equity firm headquartered in Washington, D.C. 

The acquisition of Quality Parts Warehouse marks another milestone for Driven Distribution  Group’s ongoing commitment to expanding its footprint and enhancing service to customers  across the region. The 8,000-square-foot facility strengthens DDG’s logistics network and extends  its reach within the Dallas–Fort Worth market. 

“This new facility strengthens our logistics network and allows us to better serve our customers  with the quality products and timely deliveries they depend on,” said Junior Calvert, General  Manager of Branch Operations. “Garland is a key location that supports our continued growth and  dedication to exceptional service.” 

Founded by Joe and Cheryl Bray, Quality Parts has proudly served the automotive industry since  1991, when the Brays purchased a small jobber store in Garland, Texas. As the business grew  beyond its retail space, Quality Parts shifted its focus to serving professional installers exclusively,  purchasing its current 8,000 sq. ft. warehouse in 1997. 

Under Joe Bray’s leadership—whose experience in the automotive industry dates back to the early  1970s—the company steadily expanded to meet increasing customer demand. Today, Quality  Parts continues its mission of providing reliable products and exceptional service to customers  across North Texas. 

“I chose to sell to Driven Distribution Group because I felt completely comfortable with everyone I  met throughout the process. The company’s culture is truly family-oriented at every level of  management. Becoming part of their organization has been an exceptionally smooth and first-class  experience in every way,” said Joe Bray, former owner of Quality Parts Warehouse. 

Quality Parts Warehouse will be branded and operated as part of the Eagle Auto Parts’ growing  network of regional branches. This addition brings expanded inventory, enhanced accessibility,  and stronger customer support to serve North Texas.
