CARQUEST Auto Parts

This tucked away and hard to find Mid-​City wholesale warehouse location of CarQuest also serves the retail public as well as being the general warehouse and distribution center for CarQuests in New Orleans.
Since it is their wholesale location, the place carries tons of parts and very specialized items. In addition to being the only place in town that carried the high performance brake pads I was looking for, they were also the only place that sold an impact screwdriver set which even Home Depot doesn’t carry.
This location is heaven for gearheads because it carries all of the specialized parts for anyone from the guy restoring a car to the home mechanic to the automotive professional.
It is hard to miss this location because it is basically an unmarked metal warehouse on a side street off of Bienville in between Broad and Jeff Davis.
Prices are reasonable and the guys working the retail counter are knowledgeable and can offer advice. I asked about brake lube and the guy showed me an option of purchasing to specialized lubes that work on the brake pads and another that is specialized just for the caliper pins. When he told me that they were $ 22 a piece that that it would probably take me over 100 years to go through the quantity that I would have to purchase he agreed that it was unnecessary and even looked in the brake pad box and showed me that the pads come with their own tubes of brake lube.
If you’re looking for specialized parts to fix your vehicle this is the place in New Orleans.
