History
In 1939, Mamie and Gene Arnold founded the original Arnold Oil Company in Corpus Christi, Texas. Soon after graduating from Baylor University in 1976, Jim Arnold realized the opportunity and need to expand operations by opening his own facility. In 1977 he opened the doors to Arnold Oil Company in Austin with one other employee, two vehicles, and minimal inventory. Now, four generations later, both of Jim's children are actively involved in the business. During the 1980's, Jim began acquiring independent auto parts stores in addition to adding an automotive equipment division. He knew the future success of Arnold Oil Company was contingent upon his customers' successes, which meant continually finding solutions that led to customers' profitable growth. They expanded their product lines and service territories, eventually growing to more than 30 locations across Central and South Texas.
