Of course. The majority of my sales are wholesale. Be it body shops or independent mechanics. As hard as it is to believe for most people, because they all have the 'big bad dealership' mentality, OEM parts tend to be cheaper than a lot of aftermarket stuff.

Also, when it comes to body repair stuff, we have programs in place to allow us to compete with aftermarket suppliers. OEM stuff will always have a better fit and finish than aftermarket. Bodyshops prefer to use OEM as often as they can. It's the insurance companies that limit them to aftermarket.

Accuracy, inventory management, general service(attitude, helpfulness etc...)

My shops know that when they come to me they are getting what they need right and the first time. I go above and beyond to make sure I'm getting what my shops need. Some guys may call a certain part one thing and someone else will call it another etc.. So I make sure we're on the same page. Other people assume what they're talking about and end up getting wrong parts, which in turn means a longer wait to get correct parts, which pisses the shop and their customer off.

And I'm not saying I'm not saying that I'm fucking awesome. Yes I am good at my job, but what I have mostly been getting across is how happy and excited and encouraged I feel now because of talking to the shops. Not bragging, because let's face it, my job doesn't mean shit to most of you guys so why would I brag? Just happy about the situation.



Nope. Everyone is fair game.
