Should You Be Selling Aftermarket Parts?
You may be missing out on the biggest profit making opportunity available to outdoor power equipment dealers!!
OPEAA SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OFFER:

Prices Ranging 10 - 50% Less Than OEM Suppliers
This means:
  • INCREASED PROFITS - Profit margins on aftermarket (non-OEM) parts average between 50-60%, compared with 25-40% on OEM parts. With margins continually dropping on equipment, many dealers now find their parts departments and repair shops offer their biggest potential for profit.
  • SAVINGS TO YOUR CUSTOMERS - Many dealers pass along some of the savings in aftermarket parts to their customers. This gives the consumer a quality, lower-priced alternative to OEM parts.
  • A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE - Passing along savings to your customers can give your dealership a reputation of having competitive prices. This combined with higher profit margins, will build your parts and service business into a real money maker.
BROAD SELECTION OF PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
This means:
  • SERVICE ALL BRANDS OF EQUIPMENT - Because aftermarket suppliers carry fast moving parts for all popular brands, you can service brands you do not sell. This brings in new customers and opens doors to potential buyers.
  • MORE FLEXIBILITY - Having reliable aftermarket sources not only gives you the flexibility to service all makes and brands, but enables you to have a backup parts supplier for the brands you do sell.
  • NO NEED TO BUY A BIG INVENTORY OF EQUIPMENT JUST TO OBTAIN PARTS - If you want to buy OEM parts at dealer prices for a particular brand of equipment, you are normally required to invest heavily in both equipment and parts inventories. Aftermarket suppliers require NO initial orders to purchase from them.
FAST, EFFICIENT SERVICE
This means:
  • QUICKER RESPONSE TIME TO YOUR CUSTOMERS - In today's fast paced business world, fast service is vital. Many aftermarket suppliers will ship your order the same day they receive it. This means quicker response time to you and your customers. The result is happier customers.
  • STOCK FEWER PARTS - Because you can count on fast efficient delivery of parts from your aftermarket supplier, you don't need to stock high inventories of parts. Lower inventory means higher turnover.
  • A MORE EFFICIENT, MORE PROFITABLE REPAIR SHOP - With quicker delivery of parts, "down time" will be kept to a minimum. Your mechanics will keep busier and put more repair jobs on the books. That, plus a higher turnover of your parts inventory, and lower prices equal one important thing - MORE PROFIT!
