What Part Store Owners are Doing Right (And How Blevins Has Their Back)

They’re usually the first one in and the last one out.

No fanfare. No shortcuts. Just a counter full of parts, a phone that rings non-stop, and a small stack of invoices waiting to be closed out.

That’s the rhythm of a manufactured housing parts store owner. And in every town, there’s one of them quietly holding it all together.

More Than a Store—A Fix-It Hub for the Whole Community

The part store isn’t just about inventory. It’s about access. When someone’s heater goes out, when a skirting panel needs replacing, or when a pipe bursts at a community home park down the road, this is where folks show up. Not just to shop—but to solve.

These owners know their customers by name. They know what brands they like. What systems they use. What their budget looks like. And they stock their shelves based on what people really need—not what looks flashy in a catalog.

They’re part coach, part problem-solver, part neighbor.

What They’re Doing Right—Especially Now

Even with rising costs, slower traffic, and supply headaches, the best part store owners are still delivering the kind of service that can’t be outsourced:

  • Adapting inventory to meet shifting customer budgets
  • Holding the line on quality while watching every penny
  • Answering phones before opening hours and chasing shipments to keep customers running
  • Backing up installers and contractors with the right products, right when they need them

They’re the kind of folks who’d rather under-promise and over-deliver. The kind who stays open late, so a customer doesn’t go home without heat.
