Fenix Parts Completes Acquisition of Neal Auto Parts

Neal is an automotive recycler servicing the Central Illinois market with a population of approximately 1.3 million people.

Fenix Parent LLC, operating as Fenix Parts, announced it has completed its acquisition of the assets of Neal Auto Parts in Peoria, Illinois. Fenix Parts was acquired by affiliates of Stellex Capital Management LLC in April 2018.

Neal is an automotive recycler servicing the Central Illinois market with a population of approximately 1.3 million people. This is Fenix Parts’ eighth acquisition in the Midwest and brings Fenix’s location count to 27 full-service and five self-service locations.

Bill Stevens, CEO of Fenix Parts, said, “We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Neal and excited about the addition of its experienced and talented team to the Fenix family. This acquisition continues our Midwest footprint expansion westward with close proximity to both our Chicago location and new Indianapolis hub, and allows us the opportunity to leverage our 85+ acres of Midwest full-service production capacity.” 

“I want to give a special welcome to the Neal team. Neal has been in the auto recycling business for almost 75 years, and we are excited to have the team join Fenix to help us continue to grow in the Midwest,” Stevens added.

Transmission Line Replacement

Transmission fluid likes to be at a constant temperature. If it is too hot or too cold for too long, the performance can fluctuate and potentially cause damage to the transmission.

Transmission fluid likes to be at a constant temperature. If it is too hot or too cold for too long, the performance can fluctuate and potentially cause damage to the transmission.
If the fluid is at a constant temperature, it behaves in a consistent manner in terms of its friction and lubrication properties. What can help control the temperature is the transmission cooling circuit.
The path of the fluid in the transmission lines is not as much about the destination as the journey. The size and length of the transmission lines, along with the size of the cooler, controls the temperature of the fluid. Also, the size of the engine and weight of the vehicle can determine the design of the transmission fluid cooling circuit.
Another thing to consider is how a modified transmission with a larger transmission cooling circuit might do more damage than good. On modern vehicles, the cooling circuit is designed to manage the fluid temperatures during startup. If the fluid can’t warm up quickly due to the increased volume, damage to the transmission friction surfaces can occur. The same goes for a bypassed cooling circuit. Why? Because fluid that is too hot can damage friction surfaces.

Oil Bath Air Filters

Long before people started using cotton gauze air filters soaked in oil, the oil bath air filter was the dominant filter on the market. The filter removes debris in the air by running it over oil and a mesh element. These filters worked great when most roads were dirt, but they could be messy to clean.
