GERMANTOWN, Tenn. — The Automotive Distribution Network’s West Springfield Auto Parts recently acquired the assets of Ansonia, Conn.-based Service Auto Parts/ARP Warehouse, according to Mike Lambert, president of the Network. “This is a win-win for West Springfield Auto Parts and the Network as the company continues to extend its reach and the Parts Plus brand throughout Southern New England,” Lambert said.

The warehouse distributor’s acquisition of Service Auto Parts, a locally owned business since 1929, fills a gap in its Connecticut coverage, said Michael A.
