RepairLink
RepairLink, an OEM mechanical parts procurement software solution, is designed to connect mechanical parts dealers and repair shops, optimizing the mechanical parts buying and selling process. Backed by manufacturer parts programs and pricing, RepairLink promotes increased parts order accuracy, fast & easy fulfilment, and efficient communications across the parts network.
Whether you’re buying or selling OEM mechanical parts, there are a lot of moving parts in the procurement process: There’s availability & pricing, inaccurate orders & returns, and phone calls & faxes. That puts a premium on time & resources – both behind the parts counter and in the repair shop. Now for the easy part. RepairLink connects dealers and repair shops through the industry’s largest mechanical parts network while providing part pricing & availability insights, best-in-class diagrams & illustrations, and a streamlined procurement experience. This means increased order accuracy, fewer returns, stronger communication, and more time to focus on customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can use RepairLink?
RepairLink is available to franchised dealerships interested in increasing their efficiency and part sales. RepairLink is available to any shop that enrols in the program and selects a participating dealership to buy parts from online.
Will RepairLink replace parts orders by phone?
RepairLink is not meant to replace telephone orders. It’s designed to help dealerships and repair shops communicate faster and easier.
Instead of calling a dealership about part numbers, technical illustrations, pricing and availability, repair shops can find all of that information on RepairLink. Shops can place their order online. Or if they choose to call in their parts order, the process is more streamlined and efficient. Phone calls are minimized and shorter in duration.
