Trade & Collision Brochure

When a repairer decides on a non-OE part, OEMs don’t just lose a sale – they lose visibility into the repair, control over quality, and a direct connection to the customer.

OEC gives OEMs and their dealer networks the tools, data, and support to win more of those decisions – consistently – across every market.

The challenge

The automotive parts marketplace is large, highly competitive, and growing fast. Plus, the competition is increasingly well organised and resourced. That makes designing and running a Trade and Collision programme that consistently wins where the buying decision happens – across dealers, markets, and brands – hard to do alone. Here’s why:

It doesn’t need to be this complex.

The OEC approach

OEC Trade & Collision Services deliver a connected programme that empowers your dealer network to compete for genuine parts sales on every service and collision repair across borders, brands, and channels.

Win the repair

CollisionLink Broker

Compete for genuine parts sales where it matters most: Inside the bodyshop’s collision estimate. When an estimate is written, our system identifies competitive parts and proactively engages with the bodyshop to win the part and provide the full parts basket.

Total Loss Avoidance

Repair it, don’t write it off. When a repairable vehicle is classed as a borderline total loss on repair cost alone, OEC brings manufacturers, repairers and insurers together to lower that cost with pricing support on the parts basket. The vehicle stays on the road, the owner stays loyal to the brand, and the parts sale stays in your network.
