MIDLOTHIAN, Texas, July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Road Warrior Parts & Service, a national distributor of aftermarket parts and provider of repair services for heavy-duty trucks and trailers, has recently announced the completion of multiple acquisitions. These acquisitions further strengthen its heavy-duty parts distribution and repair network and advance the Company's strategy of building a leading national platform spanning both parts and service.
As part of this growth, Road Warrior has meaningfully improved its distribution network, expanded its repair operations, and deepened its service offerings, including the addition of a mobile repair business line. The Company's deep expertise in heavy-duty parts sourcing and procurement enhances its repair operations, enabling customers to benefit from faster turnaround times, reliable parts availability, and a more comprehensive service offering.
We are pleased to announce that we have added three new legacies to our family of Road Warrior Brands: (www.roadwarriorbrands.com)
LASCO Heavy Duty (KY). Founded in 1927, Louisville Auto Spring & Brake offers custom spring manufacturing and repair, ABS trailer repairs, wheel alignments, axle repairs, and heavy-duty brake service. LASCO continued to grow, expanding its operations to Lexington, Kentucky, as they continued to expand service to the transportation and freight markets. "Selling our business wasn't just a financial decision - it was about finding the right home for our employees and customers. Road Warrior proved throughout the process that they cared about both. They were transparent, fair, and followed through on every commitment they made. Looking back, we'd make the same decision again." - David Washbish, LASCO (louisvilleautospring.net)
Bob Rasch, Managing Director of Ridgefield Partners, commented, "It was a privilege to work with Mr. Washbish (President of LASCO) to find the right home for their century old family business. The Sope Creek and Road Warrior teams have a strong pulse on what's important in the industry - their focus on people and supporting Owners through an efficient and transparent transaction process sets them apart in the industry. We are excited to see what these companies accomplish together and for the growth ahead."
"It has been an exciting and rewarding experience to dive into the world of heavy-duty repair and parts distribution, it's an industry not only filled with men and women who are extremely knowledgeable about their business, but also filled with just high-caliber, good people. We're honored to have the opportunity to bring together a group of like-minded individuals with a common goal – providing high-quality heavy-duty solutions to customers by building and supporting a team of high-quality heavy-duty professionals." Joe Petosa, Parter at Sope Creek Capital and Chief Financial Officer at Road Warrior Parts & Service.
