About NAPA Auto Parts
Based on the descriptor “Missoula Part,” this charge most likely originates from NAPA Auto Parts, specifically the Missoula Motor Parts Company location in Missoula, Montana. NAPA Auto Parts is a large North American automotive parts retailer and distributor that provides OEM and aftermarket parts, tools, fluids, batteries, and accessories for passenger vehicles, trucks, agricultural equipment, and industrial applications. The Missoula store is branded as “NAPA Auto Parts – Missoula Motor Parts Company” and operates as a local parts supplier to both do‑it‑yourself customers and professional repair shops.
A charge from this merchant typically appears when you purchase auto parts, tools, or vehicle-related supplies at the NAPA/Missoula Motor Parts counter, either in person or possibly by phone for in‑store pickup or delivery. The descriptor can be shortened or truncated on card statements, so “Missoula Part” or “Missoula Motor Part” may be used instead of the full store or NAPA name. Charges are usually one‑time purchases, but commercial accounts or repair shops that source parts regularly may see recurring or frequent transactions as they replenish inventory or order parts for customer vehicles.
If you’re unsure about a “Missoula Part” charge, start by checking any recent vehicle repairs, maintenance, or DIY projects that might have required parts, and look for a paper or emailed receipt from NAPA or Missoula Motor Parts around the transaction date. You can call the Missoula NAPA Auto Parts / Missoula Motor Parts Company store directly (using the phone number listed on their website or Google business listing) and ask them to look up the transaction by date, amount, and last four digits of your card; they can often confirm what was purchased. If the store cannot locate the charge or it still seems unfamiliar, contact your card issuer to dispute the transaction or request a replacement card in case of fraud.
