Lot Manager & Master Technician Pro Tips

Shops equipped with factory-level diagnostics (IDS/FDRS, wiTECH, ODIS, Autel Ultra) and 48-hour recon turnaround win the highest dealership volume.

Parts distributors boost average order value by pre-kitting complete model-specific jobs (e.g., full VCT phaser + timing + gasket + OEM filter kit).

Dealerships can also nominate their trusted local sublet shop for fast-track onboarding.
