Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]

AutoMD
On October 8, 2014, AutoMD entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") to sell an aggregate of 7,000 shares of AutoMD common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share to third-party investors and investors that are affiliated with two of our board members. The Company retained 64.1% of AutoMD's outstanding common stock, and continues to consolidate AutoMD.
In connection with the sale of the shares of AutoMD, the Company recorded an increase to additional paid-in-capital of $2,534. This amount is equal to the increase in the Company’s interest in the net assets of AutoMD, resulting from this sale of common shares valued at $3,847, less the related deferred tax liability of $1,313.
Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company may be required to purchase 2,000 shares of AutoMD common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share, with such purchase to be triggered only if as of October 8, 2016, AutoMD does not meet a required minimum number of approved auto repair shops permitted to submit a quotation on AutoMD’s website ("Registered Repair Shops"), or separately if at any time during the two years following the closing date AutoMD fails to meet specified minimum cash balances and minimum numbers of Registered Repair Shops. AutoMD is commencing with charging repair shops a subscription fee during the third quarter, and as a result, we expect to fall below the minimum number of Registered Repair Shops as of October 8, 2016. The Purchase Agreement also limits the use of the $7,000 in proceeds from the sale of AutoMD common stock to only general operating purposes of AutoMD. The Company cannot use or borrow any of the proceeds without the approval of AutoMD's Board of Directors.  
In addition to the Purchase Agreement, AutoMD entered into an Investor Rights Agreement. The Investor Rights Agreement includes certain demand and piggyback registration rights, and restrictions on transfers or dilutive transactions involving AutoMD common stock.  Prior to October 8, 2017, the Company is prohibited from transferring shares of AutoMD owned by U.S. Auto Parts or enter into any transaction or arrangement (including, without limitation, any sale, gift, merger or consolidation) that would result in U.S. Auto Parts owning, at any time, less than 50% of the shares of capital stock of the Company without the prior written consent of AutoMD shareholders.  In the event of a proposed transfer or dilutive transaction for which any shareholder does not provide its written consent, in the alternative, upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to such non-consenting party, the Company may elect, at its sole option, to purchase all shares of the AutoMD common stock then owned by any non-consenting shareholder at a purchase price equal to $1.00 per share (as adjusted for any stock combinations, splits, recapitalizations, etc.) plus an annual rate of 10% thereon, compounded annually, and effect such transfer.
