Enhanced Durability DOWNEY CELEBRATES 70 YEARS SELLING AUTO PARTS The basic philosophy was simple: "If we're going to sell right to produce a profit, we have to buy right." That was the manta that was handed down from Grandfather Herman J. Downey to his sons Ray and Dick Downey. "The only way to buy to get the best deal is buy by the trailer load", said grandson Troy Downey. Troy first started working in his father's warehouse, Herman J. Downey & Sons, when he was only twelve years old. " I remember it was like being sentence to Siberia when a truck would back up to the dock that contained thousands of Maremont tail pipes that had to be put up in the racks by me and my brother," Downey recalled. Today, Troy Downey is a third generation automotive distributor who is the Owner and General Manager of Downey Automotive, a multifaceted distributor of auto parts. On the wholesale side, Downey specializes in liquidating warehouse and jobbers' inventories and brokering stock lifts through out North America. "My father helped put a lot of people into business." said Downey. "I help them get out of business. In today's automotive aftermarket, the small mom and pop stores just cannot compete with the public owned retail chains. I help them by liquidating their inventory. I also help the independent auto parts jobbers and warehouses compete by selling them inventories at a discount of half their normal cost. Downey continued, "Many times I have special buys where they can write STOKER HEATER SERIES NOW AVAILABLE FOR UTVS FROM MARADYNE HIGH PERFORMANCE FANS Utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) are often used by off-road enthusiasts who hunt, plow snow and haul heavy loads at equipment sites and on their farms.

Everyone that comes to my store comes as a customer but departs as a member of the Downey Difference family referring everyone they know. It's not about a transaction: it's all about creating a relationship." The Golden Rule is the Downey way.
