Founders Message
I started Patriot Powertrain Co. with one goal: to build a new kind of parts company, one that blends old-school reliability with new-school precision.
The automotive supply world has become bloated and disconnected. Too many middlemen, too much delay, and not enough respect for the independent shops and mobile techs who actually get the work done.
So we built something different — fast, local, and transparent. Patriot Powertrain is a free partner-driven system built to serve the professionals who keep the wheels turning: shop owners, mobile mechanics, and rebuild specialists who demand better parts, better service, and better support.
Our mission is simple — Old-School Quality. New-School Precision.
Every system we design, every SKU we stock, and every partner we bring on board is part of something bigger, a new kind of regional network built on trust, speed, and accountability.
Phase by phase, we’re building this from the ground up — starting in Redding, expanding to rebuilds, manufacturing, and beyond.
This isn’t just a company. It’s a foundation. A way to prove that American-made, American-run operations can still lead the way, with integrity, innovation, and grit.
