It all started in 1920 when Benjamin Sanel and Edward Sanel Sr. founded Sanel Auto Wrecking Company in Concord, NH. Their vision was to supply customers in northern New England with the highest quality car parts in the automotive repair business.

Sanel Joins Forces with NAPA
Sanel partnered with NAPA Auto Parts to become Sanel NAPA. The company would continue to be independently owned and operated by the Sanel family. With that partnership came the opportunity to purchase eight additional NAPA stores bringing the company total to 49 locations.
