Auto parts retailers are thriving due to high car prices and limited inventory. Likewise, more consumers are maintaining their current vehicles, boosting sales for companies like AutoZone, O'Reilly Auto Parts, and NAPA Auto Parts. This trend is driving up demand for retail spaces too. "The major players within the space such as O'Reilly and AutoZone have done a great job in their expansion efforts, locating new stores and relocating older stores in high-traffic areas within new major retail developments," says Patrick Nutt, Executive Vice President of SRS Capital Markets. "[Auto parts retailers] are an example of brick-and-mortar retail being an irreplaceable part of a business."

Car shoppers research your dealership long before stepping foot into your showroom... So Cal is an aggressive automotive landscape with some of the nation's largest dealers with huge ad budgets competing for the attention of car shoppers. How does a small Ford dealer in the Inland Empire compete against the big boys? By realizing that car shoppers are searching for where to have their vehicle serviced after the purchase as much as where to get a great deal and asking for a review with EVERY repair order that is closed in their service department that's how! With over 8300 reviews, 90% percent being 4 and 5 stars, their autorepair-review site consistently shows up on page one for local Ford dealer search and gives this dealer a strong first impression to potential new car buyers as well as service customers.

It's the 1-2 punch that dealers need to knock out a history of poor retention. Leverage recalls to get vehicle owners in to your dealership, even those older, out-of-warranty vehicles. When you deliver a heightened level of service at no cost to them, 58% of these consumers opt in for CP work. Then invite them back with retention solutions from Recall Masters, Inc., which yield an amazing response rate.

A comment made to a post yesterday by Yossi J Levi regarding affordable vehicles by another person. “That would also allow people to find nice three-year old cars at a decent price that still had a little factory warranty left.” My response to this comment: That’s exactly one of the things that we at MobilXperts encourage dealers to do. Because of age, dealers are sending these vehicles to auction. However, dealers can and should buy those vehicles from dealers before they go to auction. They’ve been reconditioned and are frontline ready. Dealers can save on buy/sell fees, storage, transportation and reconditioning. To the tune of $2,000 to $3,000 per unit. It really almost borders on insanity not to do this.

The factory warranty expires right about the time that vehicle owners need their first set of replacement tires. Ask yourself, "Does our dealership offer a compelling reason for consumers to purchase their tires from us?" The better question is, "Why haven't we monitored treadwear and positioned our store as the go-to solution for tires?" Instead of being reactive and competing with the aftermarket, you need to be proactive so that consumers don't have to shop parts and service from others. It also happens to be the time when consumers will be dipping into their own wallets for CP work. Get to know TraXtion.

Dealers & Aftermarket Shops - Where are you on the list? Think about your repair facilities this weekend and where you rank on the list attached. New car dealerships and aftermarket owners are investing in calibration centers because of real demand. It is profitable. In the next few years, a distinct gap will appear, those with a low/flat RO value and the early adopters that embrace technology. Don't assume dealerships will lead the charge, many national aftermarket brands are already piloting/testing the tech. What is your RO average compared to others?

Had a list of 9 vans sent over with reg & mileage on Thursday. We went to view them this morning, made an offer which was accepted and they’ll be paid for before collection and picked up this week. Out of the yard & making lots of new space. If your vehicle broker / dealer / supplier / fleet partner doesn’t make it this easy for you to modernise your fleet, then bin them off and give me a shout. We are all busy people and you don’t deserve people wasting your valuable time. I have helped 100’s of people and sold over 4,000 vans these past few years and every single client will tell you the same - I genuinely care about putting your needs before my own, I’m passionate about what I do and we get things done, with no hassle for you to worry about! One thing I can’t stand as I’ve gotten older is time wasters. Don’t let the inaction of your incumbent suppliers, cost you and your business more time and more money. Taking action and creating momentum works for everyone, so let me help you modernise your fleet and take the old stuff off your hands. Not only will it help you reduce costs in maintenance and repairs, it’ll improve the morale of your staff, help drive your recruitment and retention, brighten your company’s image out on the road and by it’s very nature, increase the opportunities of winning new customers. With the volitility of the market at the moment.. and looming price increases across the board, just ask yourself - Can you really afford to wait?! #CashInjection #OutWithTheOld #HASSLEFREE

If you aren’t buying cars, you’re repairing them. More are stuck in their cars due to the overturn of decline in cars sales. Consequently, when demand goes up so does price. Ultimately leading to higher repair costs. AutoZone, being the market leader, will be the thermometer for the next few consecutive quarters.
