Napa Autopro
The NAPA AUTOPRO advantage at Gearhead
When you choose Gearhead Automotive Services, you are not just dealing with a trusted local Red Deer shop. You are also backed by the NAPA AUTOPRO network, a group of more than 600 service centres across Canada staffed by certified, highly trained automotive experts.
That means the friendly, familiar service you expect from Gearhead, plus national-level warranty protection, roadside assistance, and support that follows you wherever you drive.
What is NAPA AUTOPRO?
NAPA AUTOPRO is a Canada-wide program for independent repair shops that meet strict standards for training, equipment, and customer care.
Shops in the network commit to:
Using quality parts and proper repair procedures
Maintaining state of the art diagnostic tools and service information
Ongoing training for their technicians
For drivers, the result is simple. You keep the personal relationship with a local shop while benefiting from warranties and support that reach across North America.
Why Gearhead chose NAPA AUTOPRO
Gearhead has always focused on long term relationships, clear communication, and doing the job properly the first time. NAPA AUTOPRO gives structure and extra backing to that philosophy.
Being part of the program helps Gearhead:
Access current technical information and OEM level diagnostic tools more easily
Offer Peace of Mind and 10/400 warranties that a stand-alone independent shop would not normally be able to provide
Enrol clients in a roadside assistance program that works across Canada and the United States
You still deal directly with Gearhead. NAPA AUTOPRO simply adds an extra layer of support behind the scenes.
Peace of Mind Warranty
36 months / 60,000 km on qualifying repairs
Most qualifying repairs performed at a NAPA AUTOPRO service centre are covered by the Peace of Mind Limited Warranty. It provides 36 months or 60,000 kilometres of protection on eligible parts and labour, starting from the date of the original repair.
Key benefits for Gearhead clients:
Coverage on many common repairs and services when NAPA-qualifying parts are used
Protection honoured at over 600 NAPA AUTOPRO centres in Canada and thousands of NAPA warranty locations across North America
Written documentation so you know exactly what is covered
In plain language: if something goes wrong with a covered repair within that period, you can get help even if you are far from Red Deer.
10/400 Maintenance Warranty
Long term engine and driveline protection
For eligible vehicles, NAPA AUTOPRO offers a 10 year / 400,000 kilometre limited engine and driveline warranty.
No charge program for qualifying vehicles enrolled at a participating NAPA AUTOPRO shop
Covers repair or replacement of critical engine and powertrain components, including transmission or transaxle, subject to program terms
Requires regular and continuous maintenance at a NAPA AUTOPRO facility in Canada
This program is designed for drivers who plan to keep their vehicle long term and want extra peace of mind around major components. On the Gearhead side, it encourages proper, consistent maintenance which is what we would recommend anyway.
NAPA roadside assistance
Help when you need it, across Canada and the U.S.
Through NAPA AUTOPRO, Gearhead clients can access the NAPA Roadside Assistance program. It provides six months of coverage once you enrol at a participating centre, and it is valid across Canada and the United States.
- Towing
- Battery Boost
- Fuel Delivery
- Lockout Assistance
- Flat Tire Help
Coverage is available 24 hours a day. If you run into trouble while travelling, you call the NAPA number on your roadside card and they coordinate service based on your location.
Coverage that follows you when you travel
All of this adds up to coverage that does not stop at the Red Deer city limits.
Peace of Mind warranty work can be carried out at thousands of authorized NAPA warranty centres in North America if you are far from home.
Roadside assistance calls are handled through a central NAPA number, which finds help based on where you are at that moment.
So whether you are commuting in Red Deer, heading to the mountains for the weekend, or on a longer road trip, you are not relying solely on a single location for support.
What this means at your appointment
You book and approve your work
You book your appointment with Gearhead as usual. When work is recommended, your advisor lets you know which repairs qualify for NAPA programs and answers any questions.
Gearhead completes the service
The repairs are carried out using appropriate NAPA-qualifying parts where applicable and proper procedures. Paperwork is prepared that notes warranty coverage and, if relevant, roadside assistance enrolment.
You leave with documentation and coverage
You receive an invoice and any supporting warranty or roadside assistance details. If you are travelling later, you keep these documents with the vehicle so they are handy if you ever need them.
From there, if something comes up within the coverage period, you can contact Gearhead or another participating NAPA AUTOPRO or warranty centre depending on where you are.
What is in it for you as a Gearhead customer
In short, NAPA AUTOPRO builds on what Gearhead already does:
You still get honest recommendations, experienced technicians, and personal service.
You gain stronger written warranty protection on many repairs, roadside assistance options, and support that follows you across North America.
It is one more way Gearhead can help you feel confident in your vehicle today and down the road.
