 PROFILE
Discount Auto Parts helps shade-tree mechanics keep their cars running. The company is a leading seller of auto replacement parts, maintenance items, and car accessories for do-it-yourselfers in the Southeast. Discount Auto operates about 650 stores, mostly in Florida, but also in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina. Most stores are about 4,200 sq. ft. and carry brand-name parts, maintenance items such as oil and antifreeze, and such accessories as car stereos and seat covers; the firm also offers delivery service from some stores to commercial customers. The founding Fontaine family owns about 25% of Discount Auto Parts, which plans to expand into Texas and the Southwest.
