Our Story Locally owned and operated, Paramount Parts was founded in 2002 and purchased the only Napa Auto Parts store in Fort McMurray which opened in 1979 with only 3 employees in a 3,500 sq ft space. Our store is only the second store in Canada to combine Napa Auto Parts and Traction Heavy Duty Parts under one roof. We have many qualified parts professionals answering the phones in our store 7 days a week.
