Selection for this award is a testament to the commitment Advance has made to the MDPCI program and Meineke Dealers throughout the US and Canada
San Diego, Calif.—The Meineke Dealers Purchasing Cooperative Inc. (MDPCI) has announced Advance Auto Parts as the winner of the 2025 Vendor of the Year Award. Advance has been a member of the Meineke Dealers Purchasing Co-op (MDPCI) for many years and has been recognized as the Vendor of the Year three times previously.
The MDPCI Vendor of the Year is determined based on several factors, with one being survey results from the Meineke dealer group. In addition to non-subjective categories that are measured, the dealer survey is based on criteria ranging from the cost and quality of parts and services, to vendor support, to the overall ease of working with the vendor. Selection for this award is a testament to the commitment Advance has made to the MDPCI program and Meineke Dealers throughout the US and Canada.
Brian Dorsey, MDPCI president, said, “The growth of our program with Advance and their support of our efforts has been tremendous. It is a testament to the true partnership they have provided our dealers and the delivery of the commitment they made to the MDPCI to help increase profitability of the Meineke Service Centers across the country.
“Working in partnership with the MDPCI, Advance has developed an exceptional program helping Meineke dealers across the country enhance the value of their business. We look forward to continued growth in 2026 and beyond.”
Upon receiving the award, Pete Masini, Director Strategic Accounts, stated, “On behalf of the entire Advance/Carquest Auto Parts team that supports Meineke Dealers every single day, I’d like to express how honored we are … Moments like this do not typically happen by accident, and it takes an effort on both sides to build partnerships like the ones we have with our Meineke partners.”
