Our Story

Locally owned and operated, Paramount Parts was founded in 2002 and purchased the only Napa Auto Parts store in Fort McMurray which opened in 1979 with only 3 employees in a 3,500 sq ft space.

Shortly after, Paramount Parts was awarded the Traction Heavy Duty Parts franchise and expanded the store to 7,300 sq ft with over 50 staff today!

Our store is only the second store in Canada to combine Napa Auto Parts and Traction Heavy Duty Parts under one roof. Our Fort McMurray location is now the largest single Napa store in North America based on square footage and sales.

We have many qualified parts professionals answering the phones in our store 7 days a week. Our parts professionals are knowledgeable and reliable with 300 years of combined experience.

Paramount Parts takes great pride in serving the community of Fort McMurray with great customer service.
