Crown Automotive Sales

What Crown Automotive Sales does

Crown Automotive Sales Co. Inc. is a privately held aftermarket parts manufacturer and distributor founded in 1963 in a small Boston storefront, Massachusetts. The company supplies OEM-style replacement parts for Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge vehicles under the Crown Automotive brand, with over 10,000 part numbers covering more than 30,000 vehicle applications, including factory-discontinued Jeep parts dating back to 1942. Coverage spans more than 15 vehicle systems including axle, body, brake, clutch, cooling, driveline, electrical, engine, exhaust, fuel, steering, suspension, transmission, and transfer case components. An exclusive sub-brand, RT Off-Road, sells Jeep-specific accessories and performance upgrades such as soft tops, bumpers, lift kits, and LED lighting. The company is independent and explicitly not affiliated with FCA US LLC or Stellantis NV.

The business operates a strict B2B model: Crown does not sell directly to the public and instead distributes exclusively through an authorized dealer network, with dealer-facing commerce handled via the Nexpart B2B e-commerce platform. Distribution is supported by warehouses in Massachusetts (USA), Spain, and the Czech Republic, and pricing is opaque - visible only to authorized dealers through a login portal. Marketing is dealer-focused (dealer locator, catalogs, installation instructions, social) and the company actively recruits new dealers via its website.

Headcount is reported at 101-250 employees. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no management team bios, no patents, and no financials in the source material. Payment processing is handled by Stripe and PayPal/Braintree. The company is privately held with no public ownership, investor, or valuation signals.
