The Collision Industry
How do shops know what dealerships sell parts online?
Many shops ask for notifications when specific dealers register for CollisionLink. If so, the shop will receive a notification telling them that you are now live and accepting orders. Your dealership will automatically be added to their Supplier List for them to regularly order from with ease. If a shop has not opted to receive this information, your dealership will be searchable in the Supplier List Search.
Shops can also search “all suppliers” in their specified area when looking for a part. This will mean you will gain new customers who are eager to purchase parts from you. If shops are searching for a part and you have it in stock, your dealership will appear on their screen for them to do business with.
The best way to let shops know that you are on CollisionLink is to tell them yourself! The marketing team at OEC has a range of materials that you can use to notify shops that you are available for business through CollisionLink.
