I live in Dallas, TX. Where can I buy cheap/wholesale automotive repair supplies and parts?

Posted by admin on October 31, 2009

I live in Dallas,Tx and plan to open an automotive repair shop. I have been buying parts and supplies from autozone and it’s getting quite expensive and doesnt seem like we’re making any profit…where can I get parts and supplies for shop that are cheap/wholesales. thanks a lot of any input.

i don’t know any part houses there other than NAPA but if you ask some of the other shops around (that specialize in work other than what you do – your competitors probably won’t help), they are usually very helpful. stop by a local dealer parts dept.. their guys have a plethora of parts houses they deal with. go online and look up carquest and also try parts plus. i’m a bit surprised. usually when a new shop opens up, all the parts houses out there will beat down the new shops doors trying to get their business. very strange to me that they haven’t done so.
