How buying works today
The usual route to an order.
Garages order from parts factors and local branches, using registration lookups by phone, distributor portals and rapid delivery runs. Parts are usually ordered against a vehicle or VIN, and the same part may be looked up with more than one supplier before the order is placed.
Where it breaks down
What slows buyers down.
- 01Wrong parts mean returns and a vehicle left waiting.
- 02The same part is looked up several times across suppliers.
- 03Stock and arrival times are uncertain.
- 04Account prices differ between suppliers.
