Auto Body Repair Shops Increase Sales Using Independent Parts

Posted by Joe Gargiulo | Tue, Dec 15, 2015 @ 10:00 AM

According to a report by the Quality Parts Coalition (QPC), Americans are choosing aftermarket parts from independent manufacturers over OEM parts when given the chance. The report, “Competition Drives Real Consumer Savings in Collision Repair,” was released December 2015 using data from the Certified Automotive Parts Association.

The numbers are compelling: Americans saved $363 million using independent parts for the top 100 collision repair parts used by consumers between 2009 and 2014 while the name brand items were 27 percent more expensive on average.

“It’s clear that independent auto parts are driving competition in the auto repair parts market and that consumers are reaping the benefits,” said Ed Salamy, executive director of the QPC. “That’s why it’s important to ensure the industry stays competitive and continues to pass along savings to consumers.”
