Vendor Management Tips

  • Ask for wholesale tiers + free-freight thresholds.
  • Track returns/defects; reconcile credits weekly.
  • Measure Days to Frontline (DTF)—parts delays eat gross.
  • Share your top 50 part numbers to pre-stock with suppliers.
  • Keep core returns labeled with RO & VIN; return promptly.

Ordering Playbook

  1. Decode VIN (engine, trim, emissions) before pricing.
  2. Compare aftermarket vs. OEM vs. recycled by cost, ETA, warranty.
  3. Confirm options (sensor counts, connectors, paint code) to avoid returns.
  4. Choose ship method (local route, will-call, freight).
  5. Book install only after ship confirmation, not after “estimate.”

Pro Tips

Body & paint: recycled panel + OEM clips often beats aftermarket fit.

Sensors & emissions: OE brand (or OEM) prevents comebacks.

Electrical: check amperage/plug photos; carry a spare for testing.
