If you run an auto repair shop, you already know the drill. A car comes in, you diagnose the problem, and then the real headache begins. calling suppliers, checking websites, comparing prices, and hoping someone has the part in stock. Multiply that by every repair order, every single day, and you are burning hours that should be spent turning wrenches and serving customers.
That is exactly the problem PartsTech was built to solve.
The Old Way Is Costing You More Than You Think
Most independent shops juggle relationships with multiple parts suppliers. You might have a go-to for brakes, another for electrical components, and a tire supplier you call separately. Each one has its own website, its own login, its own catalog to search through.
The result? Your service advisors and technicians spend 5 to 15 extra minutes per repair order just sourcing parts. Over the course of a busy day, that adds up fast. And all that time on the phone with vendors? It is pulling your team away from billable work that actually keeps your shop profitable.
How PartsTech Brings It All Together
PartsTech is a cloud-based ordering platform that connects your shop to over 225 parts and tire suppliers across more than 30,000 locations. all from a single search. Instead of opening five tabs and making three phone calls, your team types in the part they need and instantly sees availability, pricing, and options from every connected supplier at once.
With access to over 5,000 brands and 50-plus tire suppliers, the platform covers virtually any make and model that rolls through your bay. And because PartsTech integrates with 35-plus shop management systems. including Tekmetric, Mitchell 1, Shop-Ware, NAPA TRACS, and Shopmonkey. parts ordering fits right into the workflow your team already uses.
Real Results From Real Shops
The numbers speak for themselves. Shops using PartsTech report an 80 percent reduction in phone time to vendors. That is time your staff can reinvest into writing estimates, communicating with customers, or completing more jobs per day.
Take Gomez Auto Repair as an example. Before PartsTech, building an estimate took 20 to 30 minutes. After switching, that dropped to just 5 to 10 minutes. saving the shop 2 to 3 hours every single day. They also saw a 20 percent increase in monthly parts orders because the streamlined process made it easier to keep work moving through the shop.
When you pair those efficiency gains with smart strategies to reduce your payment processing costs, the impact on your bottom line is significant.
Features That Make the Difference
PartsTech goes beyond basic parts lookup. Interactive vehicle diagrams covering 30 years of makes and models let technicians visually identify exactly the part they need. no more guessing part numbers. Job-based searching pulls every part required for a specific repair in one click, so nothing gets missed.
For tire work, the Tire Finder offers good, better, and best comparison sheets that make it easy to present options to customers, complete with split fitment support for vehicles that need different sizes front and rear.
The platform also provides analytics so you can track spending patterns, see your most popular tire sizes, and monitor brand preferences across your shop.
