Mantua – While it’s been in the works for a while, NAPA Auto Parts is finally open in their new location at 10507 Main Street in Mantua. The new space, according to owner Matt Denzinger, provides nearly double the space of his former location, where he ran the successful local business for five years. No stranger to the local community, Denzinger is a CHS Red Devil from 2007 who graduated from Hiram College in 2013 with a degree in business management, entrepreneurship, and economics.
He credits area business owners for their support and encouragement provided throughout the lengthy planning and construction process. He noted that delays were expected since the structure is one of the first brand new buildings in Mantua, and most of those involved in the process had never dealt with new construction previously.
Now that the new location is up and running, Matt and his staff will continue to sell and repair tires, just as they did in their former location. However, the new space gives them the ability to stock even more parts and tires in a cleaner, brighter facility. Repairs and replacements will be faster and easier, thanks to the dedicated service space, complete with three vehicle lifts, as well.
In the new space, Denzinger is able to offer a huge range of tires, from four-inch lawn and garden tires to 48-inch tractor tires, to tires for cars, semis, and trucks. They recently updated Maserati tires for a show car. “We do a lot of stuff other people won’t do,” Denzinger explained. “If it’s round and it rolls, we can pretty much do it.”
Denzinger’s brother-in-law, Derek Lohr, leases space next door, where Regiment Fabrication & Finishing is located. The complimentary business specializes in powder coating, window tinting, and vehicle wrapping, and works with local automotive dealerships including Range Rover, Mercedes, and BMW. The pair recently hosted a building-wide open house barbeque and soft grand opening, which was attended by roughly 300 customers, family members, and friends.
NAPA is open seven days a week; for store hours, visit them on Facebook or call (330) 274-2212.
