About HOSS

We don't hammer
our customers

Hi! We are Howard's One-Stop Shop (HOSS Auto), a family company with the belief that the customer is the Boss! With over 20 years of experience, we have learned that some hardware vendors fail customers by "hammering" them with items they don't need. Over-supplying and under-serving, we won't do that!

HOSS Auto Only what you need — we won't hammer you

Getting hammered

  • Bins loaded with parts you never asked for
  • Invoices you cannot predict
  • A rep who only shows up to sell
  • Dead stock taking up bin space

The HOSS way

  • Only what actually moved gets replaced
  • Discounts you choose up front
  • A route visit that organizes your assortment
  • Inventory level stocked to your volume

Why HOSS?

No pressure.
No problems.
Best prices.

Our HOSS team visits your shop regularly in fully stocked vans, bringing quality hardware, first aid supplies, and fresh cookies! We maintain and organize your assortment with only what you need. Because you're the BOSS!
