Jobs look set to be saved at Sussex branches of car parts retailer Les Smith.
Motor World has acquired two of the company's seven stores in the county from administrators Baker Tilley, securing the jobs of the managers based there.
The company plans to recruit at least five sales assistants to help run the stores in Boundary Road, Portslade and The Hornet, Chichester.
In total, Motor World has acquired 21 stores, saving about 80 jobs nationwide.
Motor World managing director John Mousell said: "This acquisition is great news for everyone involved, particularly staff, suppliers and customers."
