Our Core Principles

The Foundation of Our Business Since 1951

At Prior Automotive, our core principles guide everything we do. These values have been the cornerstone of our success for over 70 years and continue to drive our commitment to excellence.

Guided by Principles, Driven by Excellence

The values that define who we are and how we serve our customers

Since our founding in 1951, Prior Automotive has been built on a foundation of strong core principles. These values aren't just words on a page—they're the guiding force behind every decision we make, every product we manufacture, and every customer we serve.

Our commitment to quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction has enabled us to grow from a small operation in Dallas, Texas to an industry leader in automotive remanufacturing. These principles have stood the test of time and remain as relevant today as they were when Fred Prior first established our company.

As we look to the future, these core principles continue to guide our innovation, our sustainability efforts, and our dedication to providing the highest quality remanufactured automotive components in the industry.
