"We are excited at the opportunities this acquisition will bring for our division as we will leverage the expertise acquired by Buy-Rite over the last 28 years." New Life Transports Parts Center Expands Dallas Facility New Life Transport Parts Center is expanding the warehouse space of its Dallas facility by 50 percent this month as part of its overall plan to improve customer service and meet the evolving needs of its distribution customers and strategic partners. The move comes after a similar expansion in Atlanta last year. "The expansion in Dallas comes on the heels of our recent Transport Parts Center expansion in Atlanta last fall, and is part of our overall goal to remain a leader in wholesale trailer parts as well as our expanding truck parts distribu- tion," says Robert Lindley, president of New Life. EZ Oil Drain Gets National Distribution Partner EZ Oil Drain Valve has secured a distribution agreement with NAPA, putting its products in more than 6,000 stores across the country. The EZ Oil Drain Valve works by replacing the stock oil drain plug on any vehicle, making oil changes easier, cleaner, and faster, the company says. It works by turning a level to drain oil, and the lever securely locks when closed. EZ Oil Drain has more than 50 SKUs for medium- and heavy-duty engines.
