Worldpac and The Pronto Network announced a strategic partnership, marking a significant milestone in strengthening cooperation within the independent automotive aftermarket.

The partnership officially took effect April 1, 2026.

This new partnership brings together two well-respected, industry-leading organizations dedicated to the advancement and success of the professional repair community.

By joining The Pronto Network, Worldpac brings its long-standing commitment to technical education, OE-quality parts and enhanced catalog technology, complementing The Pronto Network’s focus on member support, strategic growth and supply chain collaboration.

“Joining The Pronto Network allows us to align with an organization that shares our vision for innovation and customer success,” said John Hamilton, President & CEO of Worldpac. 

“As the aftermarket continues to evolve with new technologies, vehicle complexities, and changing consumer expectations, we are now better positioned to support customers with shared resources and enhanced capabilities.”

“We are proud to welcome Worldpac to The Pronto Network family. Our two organizations bring different strengths to this partnership, and uniting makes us even stronger,” said Robert Roos, President & CEO of The Pronto Network.

“Together we will continue to advance solutions that align with our shared vision of empowering members, so they thrive in today’s rapidly changing marketplace. Our expanded footprint will help strengthen the entire industry – from suppliers and distributors to repair shops and vehicle owners – and ensure that the independent aftermarket remains competitive, connected and well-prepared for the road ahead.”

Worldpac and The Pronto Network will focus first on several key initiatives.

These include expanding industry-leading training programs and enhancing national account offerings. The partnership will also prioritize strengthening supplier relationships, creating long-term value for partners, and supporting the broader independent service ecosystem.
