CSK Auto to Sublease Morgan Tire & Auto Shops in SF Bay Area

9 June 2000

    PHOENIX - CSK Auto Corporation announced today that its wholly owned 
subsidiary, CSK Auto, Inc., the largest retailer of automotive parts and 
accessories in the Western United States and one of the largest such retailers 
in the country, has entered into a definitive agreement to sublease facilities 
and sell certain assets associated with 28 automobile service center locations 
in the Greater San Francisco Bay area to Morgan Tire & Auto, Inc., which does 
business as Wheel Works in that region.  The financial terms of the 
transaction, which is subject to customary contingencies, were not disclosed.

    In addition, CSK Auto said that it will expand its current commercial
sales relationship with Morgan Tire & Auto.

    "This transaction is consistent with our strategic focus on auto parts
retailing. We are pleased and excited to have a market leader like Wheel Works
and Morgan Tire as our neighbor at these 28 locations and believe they will
deliver the level of service that service center customers need and want. With
this transaction, we have reduced our involvement in the servicing of
customers' vehicles and can now focus more on expanding our commercial sales
in this region," said Maynard Jenkins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
CSK Auto Corporation.

    Jim Curley, Morgan Tire's Western Region Vice President, said, "These
service locations fit perfectly with our current operations and strengthen our
market presence in the Greater San Francisco Bay area."  The service centers
will be operated by Morgan's Wheel Works Division, which will have a total of
53 service centers in that market.  This transaction brings Morgan Tire's
total to 395 locations throughout the U.S. Morgan Tire, the third largest
independent tire and auto service dealer in North America, operates in 15
states as Olson Tire, Wheel Works, Hibdon, Avellino's, Michel Tire, and
Performance Discount Tire.

    CSK Auto Corporation is the parent company of CSK Auto, Inc., a specialty
retailer in the automotive aftermarket. As of April 30, 2000, the Company
operated 1,138 stores in 19 states under the brand names Checker Auto Parts,
Schuck's Auto Supply and Kragen Auto Parts.
