Monument Car Parts, a leading independent auto parts provider in Northern California, has announced the opening of its newest store in San Ramon. Located at the former True Value Hardware site at 30 E. 10th St., this new establishment marks a significant upgrade and relocation from its previous Tracy location, bringing an enhanced experience to both wholesale clients and DIY car enthusiasts in the San Ramon area. The doors officially opened on June 21st, welcoming customers to explore an extensive inventory and benefit from the expertise that Monument Car Parts is known for.
Owner and operator Tim Archer, along with his wife Charlotte, are excited about this expansion, which reinforces Monument Car Parts’ network to nine stores across Northern California. “We’ve relocated from our Tracy store to this significantly larger and improved location in San Ramon,” Archer stated. “This new facility offers ample parking, a more welcoming environment, and allowed us to substantially increase our inventory. We truly have everything our customers need.” The move underscores the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive car parts solutions to a diverse clientele, from professional mechanics to individuals working on their vehicles at home.
Monument Car Parts has deep roots in the region, tracing back to 1965 when it was founded by Charlotte Archer’s father, grandfather, and uncle. Under Tim and Charlotte Archer’s leadership for the past nine years, the business has flourished, becoming recognized as the largest independent auto parts store in Northern California. Prior to the Archers, the Fisher family successfully operated the Tracy store for over three decades and continue to collaborate with the company, highlighting the strong community and legacy aspects of the business.
The decision to move to San Ramon was strategic. Archer explained that he chose Tracy initially because its community mirrored their ideal customer base – family-oriented with a strong DIY ethos. The success in Tracy paved the way for this larger venture in San Ramon, a location poised to serve a broader market. In addition to San Ramon, Monument Car Parts boasts locations in Vallejo, Antioch, Livermore, Pleasanton, Pacheco, and two stores in Concord, making it a convenient resource for car parts across the region.
Monument Car Parts caters to a wide range of customers, dividing its focus between wholesale clients, such as tire shops and automotive dealerships, and retail customers tackling their own car repairs and maintenance. The store prides itself on competitive pricing, particularly on well-known name brands, ensuring customers receive both quality and value.
