Report of Independent Accountants


To the Participants and Plan Administrator of the
Hahn Automotive Warehouse, Inc. 401(k) Plan

We  have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available  for
plan  benefits of the Hahn Automotive Warehouse, Inc. 401(k) Plan  as  of
September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statement of changes in  net
assets available for plan benefits for the year ended September 30, 1996.
These   financial  statements  are  the  responsibility   of   the   Plan
administrator.   Our  responsibility is to express an  opinion  on  these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our audits in accordance with generally accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain  reasonable assurance about whether the financial  statements  are
free  of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on  a  test
basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the  financial
statements.   An audit also includes assessing the accounting  principles
used  and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  financial statements referred  to  above  present
fairly,  in  all  material respects, the net assets  available  for  plan
benefits  of  the  Hahn  Automotive Warehouse, Inc.  401(k)  Plan  as  of
September  30, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available
for  plan  benefits for the year ended September 30, 1996, in  conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our  audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion  on  the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Fund Information in  the
statement  of  changes in net assets available for benefits is  presented
for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the changes in
net   assets  available  for  plan  benefits  of  each  fund.   The  Fund
Information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in  the
audits  of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is  fairly
stated,  in  all  material respects, in relation to the  basic  financial
statements taken as a whole.

1. Description of Plan
   
   The  Hahn  Automotive  Warehouse, Inc. 401(k) Plan  (the  Plan)  is  a
   defined  contribution  plan covering all eligible  employees  of  Hahn
   Automotive  Warehouse, Inc. and related entities (the  Company).   The
   Plan was established by the Company October 1, 1990.
   
   Eligible  employees include all employees of the Company  and  related
   entities, greater than twenty-one years of age and having 1,000  hours
   of  service.   Effective January 1, 1995, hours  of  service  included
   service  with  certain companies acquired by the  Company  during  the
   plan  year.   The Plan allows participants to contribute an  aggregate
   amount equal to 1% to 15% of their compensation.
   
   The  Company will match a participant's contribution by 15%, up to 15%
   of   the  participant's  compensation.   The  Company  may  also  make
   discretionary  contributions at year end which are allocated  to  each
   participant  based  upon  the  participant's  compensation  to   total
   participant compensation.  Contributions vest as follows:
   
             20% vested after three years of service
             40% vested after four years of service
             60% vested after five years of service
             80% vested after six years of service
             100% vested after seven years of service
   
   Normal  retirement age is 65 at which time, participants are  entitled
   to  receive  100%  of  their  account  balance.   Vested  amounts  are
   distributable  upon termination, death, disability or the  termination
   of  the  Plan.  Participants receive their distribution  in  a  single
   lump sum check.
   
   Unvested  balances of participants terminating their  employment  will
   be  forfeited  immediately upon payment of the vested balance  to  the
   participant.  Forfeitures are used to pay administrative expenses  and
   reduce employer contributions.  The Trustee holds all Plan assets  and
   distributes the funds among the various investment options elected  by
   the  participants.  The Trustee also directly makes disbursements from
   the  trust  for  benefits payments upon receiving proper authorization
   and benefit amount information from the Plan Administrator.
   
   Upon  the  termination of the Plan, the accounts of  all  participants
   will  become vested.  After payment of expenses incurred by the  Plan,
   the  assets  will be distributed to participants, former participants,
   and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective account balances.
   
   Fleet Investment Services serves as the Plan's Trustee.
   
2. Significant Accounting Policies
   
   Basis of Accounting
   
   The  financial  statements  of the Plan  have  been  prepared  on  the
   accrual  basis of accounting.  Investments are valued at market  based
   on  market quotations, appraised values or values as determined by the
   Trustee.   The  GIC Fund is valued at contract value which  represents
   contributions made under the contract, less funds used on  payment  of
   benefits.   Contract  value  approximates  market  value.   The   Plan
   presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for  plan
   benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of  its
   investments,  which consists of the realized gains or losses  and  the
   unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
   
   Administrative Expenses
   
   All  administrative expenses of the Plan were paid by the Plan in 1996
   and 1995.
   
   Use of Estimates
   
   The  preparation of the Plan's financial statements in conformity with
   generally   accepted   accounting   principles   requires   the   plan
   administrator  to  make  significant estimates  and  assumptions  that
   affect  the  reported amounts of net assets available for benefits  at
   the  date  of the financial statements and the changes in  net  assets
   available   for  benefits  during  the  reporting  period  and,   when
   applicable,  disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities  at  the
   date  of  the financial statements.  Actual results could differ  from
   those estimates.
   
   Risks and Uncertainties
   
   The  Plan  provides for various investment options in any  combination
   of  stocks,  bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds,  and  other
   investment  securities.  Investment securities are exposed to  various
   risks,  such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due  to  the
   level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is  at
   least  reasonably  possible that changes in the values  of  investment
   securities  will  occur in the near term and that such  changes  could
   materially  affect  participants' account  balances  and  the  amounts
   reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits.

   investment accounts:

   issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  Government,  and  money  market
   instruments offering high current income and principal stability.
   
   Asset Allocation Fund
   
   This  fund  invests  in  a diversified portfolio  of  equities,  fixed
   income investments, and cash equivalents offering high total return.
