Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Advance Auto Parts, Inc.:

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, who is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a present or former director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.

Article VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation of Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (the “Corporation”) provides that a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve

intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If the DGCL hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL. No amendment to or repeal of this Article shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

In addition, the bylaws of the Corporation provide that the Corporation will pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by a director or officer, or former director or officer, in defending, investigating, preparing to defend or being or preparing to be a witness in, a threatened or pending action, suit, proceeding or claim against such director or officer, whether civil or criminal, in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, proceeding or claim if the Corporation receives a request therefore and an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amounts if it ultimately is determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification by the Corporation.

In addition, the Corporation has entered into customary indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive officers.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of the Corporation’s directors, officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought, nor is the Corporation aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director, officer, employee or other agent.

Advance Stores Company, Incorporated:

Article 10 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”) provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director or officer against liability incurred in the proceeding if he conducted himself in good faith and he believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation’s best interests, in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Under the VSCA, a director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he believed to be in the interests of the participants in and beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the above requirements. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the relevant standard of conduct described.

In addition, under the VSCA, unless ordered by a court pursuant to the VSCA, a corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the director has met the relevant standard, or in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him.

Unless limited by a corporation’s articles of incorporation, the VSCA states that a corporation shall indemnify a director or officer who entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.

Article 5(C) of the Articles of Incorporation of Advance Stores Company, Incorporated, (“Advance Stores”), as amended, provides that Advance Stores may indemnify (i) any person who was or is a party to any proceeding, including a proceeding brought by a shareholder in the right of Advance Stores or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of Advance Stores, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of Advance Stores, or (ii) any director or officer who is or was serving at the request of Advance Stores as a director, trustee, partner or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability incurred by him in connection with such proceeding unless he engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law. A person is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at Advance Stores’s request if his duties to Advance Stores also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by him to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan.

Article 5(I) of the Articles of Incorporation of Advance Stores provides that Advance Stores may purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify it against the whole or any portion of the liability assumed by it in accordance with such Article and may also procure insurance in such amounts as the board of directors of Advance Stores may determine on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, consultant, representative or agent of Advance Stores, or is or was serving at the request of Advance Stores as a director, officer, employee, consultant, representative or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising from his status as such, whether or not Advance Stores would have power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of such Article.

Article 5(B) of the Articles of Incorporation of Advance Stores provides that no director or officer of Advance Stores shall be liable to Advance Stores or its shareholders for monetary damages with respect to any transaction, occurrence or course of conduct, whether prior or subsequent to the effective date of such Article, except that such Article shall not exclude liability resulting from such person’s having engaged-in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any federal or state securities law.

Advance Trucking Corporation:

See the discussion of applicable provisions of the VSCA above under “—Advance Stores Company, Incorporated.”

Article VII of the Articles of Incorporation of Advance Trucking Corporation (“Advance Trucking”) provides that Advance Trucking may indemnify each director and officer who is or was a party to any proceeding against any liability imposed upon or asserted against him (including amounts paid in settlement) arising out of conduct in his official capacity with Advance Trucking or otherwise by reason of the fact that he is or was such a director or officer or is or was serving at the request of Advance Trucking as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, except there shall be no indemnification in relation to matters as to which he shall have been finally adjudged to be liable by reason of having been guilty of (i) willful misconduct or (ii) a knowing violation of criminal law in the performance of his duty as such director or officer.

In addition, directors and officers will be indemnified by Advance Trucking with respect to those monetary damages of which the VSCA permits the limitation or elimination of liability. In addition, to the full extent, if any, that the VSCA permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, a director of Advance Trucking shall not be liable to Advance Trucking or its stockholders in any amount whatsoever for monetary damages arising out of a single transaction, occurrence or course of action.

Under the Virginia Limited Liability Company Act (“VA LLC Act”), subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its articles of organization or an operating agreement, a limited liability company may indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, and to pay for or reimburse any member or manager or other person for reasonable expenses incurred by such a person who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding.

If elimination of the liability is not permitted, the limitation of liability is (1) $1.00 or the minimum amount allowed to be stated by the VA LLC Act if a specific dollar amount is required to be stated or (2) the fullest extent of limitation set forth in the VA LLC Act if no specific dollar amount is required to be stated.

Autopart International, Inc.:

Part 2 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (“MBCA”) provides that a corporation may include a provision in its articles of organization eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability; but the provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for improper distributions (under section 6.40 of the MBCA) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Part 8 of the MBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he is a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if he conducted himself in good faith, and he either reasonably believed that his conduct was in the best interests of the corporation or that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In addition, a corporation may indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he is a director against liability incurred if he engaged in conduct for which he shall not be liable under a provision in the articles of organization eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for improper distributions (under section 6.40 of the MBCA), or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the relevant standard of conduct. Unless ordered by a court, a corporation may not indemnify a director if his conduct did not satisfy the relevant standard.

A director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in, and the beneficiaries of, the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

A corporation must indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.

The MBCA provides for indemnification of officers of a corporation to the same extent as directors.

The Bylaws of Autopart International, Inc. (“Autopart International”) provide that each director or officer of Autopart International or of any other corporation, the majority of the stock of which is owned by Autopart International, shall be indemnified by Autopart International against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit, or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his being or having been a director or officer, such expenses to include the cost of reasonable settlements (or other amounts paid by Autopart International itself) made with a view to curtailing costs of litigation. Autopart International will not indemnify any director or officer with respect to matters as to which he is finally adjudged in any such action, suit, or proceeding to have been derelict in the performance of his duties as such director or officer. The foregoing right of indemnification is not exclusive of other rights to which any director or officer may be entitled as a matter of law.

Autopart International has indemnification agreements with its officers and directors that are intended to provide indemnification rights to the fullest extent permitted under applicable indemnification rights statutes in the State of Delaware and in addition to any other rights that the indemnitee may have under its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or applicable law.

Item 17.

Undertakings

Each of the undersigned Registrants hereby undertakes:

(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; or

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration

statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d)(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(e) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Signatures

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Roanoke, state of Virginia, on November 30, 2011.
