Operates a large chain of auto-parts stores selling to both DIY consumers and professional repair shops (do-it-for-me).
Sells parts at retail to do-it-yourself owners and delivers to professional repair shops, which want the right part within hours and buy repeatedly. The professional side is where distribution density counts. It bought CSK Auto in 2008, adding western US stores.
Moat: narrow (scale, distribution, installed base). Dense store/distribution network enables fast delivery to professional installers, a key advantage over smaller rivals.
