Built for Service Departments. Backed by Experience.

ShopForce Supply was created to serve one specific need:
help service departments run smoother, faster, and with fewer supply headaches.

We are the Service Department division of Providence Lacquer, a family-owned company that has been serving professional shops since 1948. After decades of working side-by-side with collision centers, dealerships, and repair facilities, we saw the same problem everywhere:

Service departments were being forced to rely on retail suppliers that weren’t built for professional operations.

So we built something better.

Why ShopForce Exists

Advance Auto Parts and O’Reilly are built for walk-in customers and counter sales.
Service departments need something different.

They need:

• Consistent products

• Reliable delivery

• Fewer vendors

• Local support

• Someone who understands how a shop actually runs

ShopForce Supply was built to fill that gap.

We focus on the daily essentials that keep bays moving — shop supplies, safety and PPE, hardware, aerosols, and equipment — and we support them with programs that prevent run-outs, reduce chaos, and simplify purchasing.

What Makes Us Different

We’re Local — and That Matters

You don’t deal with call centers or rotating counter staff.
You work with a dedicated local rep who knows your shop, your team, and your operation.

We Deliver — On Your Schedule

Our delivery routes are built around service department workflows, not retail traffic. When your shop needs it, we’re already on the road.

We Manage the Essentials

Instead of selling you random SKUs, we help:

• Standardize products

• Set min/max levels

• Build stocking programs

• Reduce emergency runs

This isn’t convenience — it’s control.

Powered by Providence Lacquer

ShopForce Supply is proudly powered by Providence Lacquer, a family-owned company that has supported professional shops for over 75 years.

That means:

• Proven infrastructure

• Trusted vendor relationships

• Experienced sales and service teams

• Long-term commitment — not short-term profits

Same standards.
Same people.
A new division built specifically for service departments.

Who We Serve

• Dealership Service Departments

If your shop turns wrenches for a living, ShopForce is built for you.

Our Philosophy

We believe:

• Shops deserve suppliers who show up

• Relationships matter more than SKUs

• Consistency beats convenience

• Service departments shouldn’t be treated like retail customers

That belief is built into everything we do.
