How to Build a Network in Auto Repair

by | Apr 4, 2013 | cars-trucks

Many people thoroughly enjoy fixing vehicles. It is just a grand hobby of theirs, and they may even take that hobby to the next level and turn it into a full time job. By this point, you should have your resources just about settled. If you repair cars for a living, you have your sources of getting used car parts:

1. Quick Source: A friend or wholesale supplier who can get you items quickly and reasonably. They may not be the best price if you need just a single item, but you trust their worth and the parts quality.

2. Wholesale Source: Any auto repairman needs a wholesale source. This is where they get parts in bulk. They store the parts themselves, and earn cheaper prices by ordering in larger “portions.”

3. Specialty: A full time repairman needs a specialty source. This is where they get more obscure parts, perhaps parts for foreign vehicles or classic cars. You may want to only work on mainstream cars, but if you ignore the special cars, you are cutting off a big segment of your possible workload.

You can spend days and weeks searching for just the right car parts, and come up with little or nothing. Without acquiring and having a relationship with multiple sources, you may come into trouble. What if a company cannot be reached? What if the price goes way up? You need multiple sources to cover yourself, and make your business prosper. The problem is harnessing your search. Finding where the car parts are without breaking the bank.

Fortunately, some people do not go to these great lengths. This brings the competition down for those who really want to do it full time. They do it as a hobby, and have fun fixing cars here and there for close friends. They may even only fix their own! Either way, they need to find used car parts Minnesota effectively, and in this wonderful state, they can.

Many people are willing to help, and they offer competent and good prices for top-tier products. Whether it is specialty shops, wholesalers, or a strong network of repairmen and shops, you should be able to find the part you need. If all else fails, go to the Internet. With shipping costs, it will probably be quite expensive. But if you set up an account with an online retailer and order frequently, you will find an invaluable source in growing and inevitably exposing your work to more people. In auto repair and used car parts replacement, it is about the work. If you do a good job, people will find you. In any city and any state, there are people who drive cars and will eventually need something fixed. Make sure they call you.
