Coast Appliance Parts Co

What Coast Appliance Parts Co does

Coast Appliance Parts Co. is a privately held, California-based distributor of OEM replacement parts for major home appliances, HVAC equipment, plumbing and water heaters, electric motors, BBQ and gas grill parts, and lighting products. Founded in 1958 in Rosemead, California and now headquartered in a 35,000 sq. ft. facility in Fontana, the company operates 14 retail branches from Fresno to San Diego serving Central and Southern California, complemented by an e-commerce site (coastparts.com) that ships nationwide. Its product portfolio covers 70+ appliance brands including Maytag, GE, Whirlpool, BSH (Bosch/Thermador/Gaggenau), Frigidaire, LG, and Electrolux, supported by authorized distributor relationships and integration with the APDA Part Finder network (Member ID 672) for cross-distributor parts identification.

The business serves a diversified customer base spanning individual DIY consumers, independent professional appliance repair technicians, property management companies, apartment owners, and residential/commercial builders. Distribution is multi-channel: physical counter sales and will-call pickup at the 14 branches, inside phone sales (1-800-821-0244 general; 1-800-370-4585 dedicated property management line), outside sales representatives developing wholesale accounts, and online ordering with $9.95 standard base shipping. Pricing follows a unit-pricing model with standard retail rates for individual buyers and discount programs for qualified commercial accounts (property managers, apartment owners, builders), with a login-based wholesale account system supporting invoice search, order history, and A/R aged balances tracking.

Revenue mechanics are one-time transactional sales of OEM parts, with no subscription, recurring, or licensing model identified. The company is independently operated with no parent company, no venture capital backing, no funding rounds, and no disclosed subsidiaries. Marketing is primarily organic (SEO-optimized parts finder on coastparts.com, email newsletter, Facebook and Instagram presence) supplemented by industry-association affiliations (APDA, United Servicers Association, Professional Servicers Organization of California).
