It’s no small task to keep your fleet running, and every minute your vehicles are in the shop is another minute that your fleet isn’t doing its job out on the road. It’s costly downtime that no one can afford. From government to utility fleets and truck repair facilities to retail repair shops, NAPA IBS will help keep your vehicles on the road like no other.

We’ll provide you with a customized, on-site parts store and a unique strategy to manage your inventory. We handle NAPA and non-NAPA automotive parts, OE parts, office supplies, safety materials, tires, bulk fluids and supplies. NAPA IBS will stock your shelves with parts specific to your vehicles. And the best part about it? You don’t have to pay for any of it up front. We cover the cost of maintaining your inventory so you pay for a part only when you need it. Don’t let inventory costs, out-of-stock parts, and unnecessary paperwork get in the way of your productivity. Put your people back to work on your vehicles. Let IBS handle the rest.

Few people actually see our work, but many people benefit from our work. As a management and engineering firm, M·E Companies works behind the scenes to develop the infrastructure improvements that keep our communities functioning and growing. Some of our best work is buried underground, driven over, or tucked away behind attractive landscaping. Some of our work features prominently along roads and highways. But all of our work is done with a "Total Project Approach." At M·E, we know that solutions aren't solutions unless they take into account all the factors that impact the project, the owner, the users and the community. We measure success not by the completion of our work, but by the functionality of our work.
