Aftermarket Sales Solutions
Challenge your competition. Why not sell more parts to independent shops?
Every parts sale helps keep your business successful. That's why Snap-on Business Solutions is designing new methods for you to pull in more parts orders than ever before.
Overview
Independent repair facilities typically buy most of their mechanical replacement parts from aftermarket suppliers. They prefer the ease, convenience, and reliable delivery times they receive from companies like CarQuest, NAPA, and AutoZone.
For original equipment manufacturers, RepairLink with MORE challenges the preconception that original equipment cannot compete with aftermarket equipment. It's an online parts ordering and fulfillment solution developed in collaboration by Snap-on Business Solutions and OEConnection. It helps franchised dealerships capture more parts orders by giving independent repair shops a standardized, complete OEM parts catalog. With MORE, repair shops get dealership-specific parts pricing and availability; with RepairLink, dealerships receive and fulfill orders as part of their daily workflow.
Together, RepairLink with MORE helps your dealers give better service to current customers, get additional orders from new customers, increase the turn on their parts inventory, and boost their profitability. It also means you can sell original parts—wherever vehicle owners choose to service their vehicles.
