Advance Auto Parts, a leading automotive aftermarket parts retailer, celebrated the opening of its new location in Santa Clarita on 20600 Golden Triangle Road with a community event on Saturday, Feb. 5. This store is among more than 60 the company plans to open in the Los Angeles market in 2022.

The event will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will be headlined by appearances from Hertrech Eugene, a Los Angeles-based drifter/racing driver and member of Hoonigan, and Stephanie Drifts, a social media influencer and pro-am drifter/driver. At the event, residents can also enter to win a pair of tickets to NASCAR’s preseason race, taking place Feb. 6 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The new store is in the building formerly occupied by Pep Boys, though the Pep Boys service center will continue to be in operation
