NAPA Auto Parts

NAPA Auto Parts stocks parts for domestic and import vehicles at 600 Tuckahoe Rd, Yonkers, NY 10710—one of the area’s few remaining auto parts destinations where stock rotates through the shelves more than once a season. Whether you need to patch a leaking radiator, hunt down a stubborn serpentine belt bracket, or swap a windshield-wiper motor before the first nor’easter rolls in, they’ll track it down. Belt, brake, battery, suspension, and lighting components sit on the same aisles that used to stock carburetor kits in the ’90s. Drivers who wander in after a tow-truck drop-off can grab universal joint sets, fuel filters for older GM trucks, and OEM-style alternators without the dealer markup; they also stash universal hose, gasket material, and wire terminals in labeled bins near a side counter. Oil filters for late-model Hondas share shelf space with school-bus heater cores from the 1990 International Transits still running Yonkers routes. On the back wall, a wall-mounted catalog rack used to hang microfiche, now filled with thick bound parts books that still smell faintly of ozone and old paper. Talk to the counter helpers and you’ll hear the phrase “second-generation fix” often—locals keep coming back because the shelves remember the cars they grew up behind. They stay late when an 11 p.m. tow request comes in from the Saw Mill Parkway exit, retrieving the exact part the driver needs so the car isn’t stranded until morning service opens. Call them Monday through Saturday to confirm whether the elusive 2004 Ford Explorer strut tower bar is in the back room before the trip: (914) 771-7400. Enter the address into your phone’s map app—600 Tuckahoe Rd shows up as a pin on Tuckahoe Road, just past the railroad overpass.
