Tell Your Friends...

Getting the word out about a great new idea is one of the hardest things many companies face in their early years. Luckily we have some GREAT customers who are helping us share our wholesale auto parts inventory far and wide. We are doing great and growing fast, but...

We are compelled to grow faster and reach more people with our message. I don't really think it is wrong if what you are sharing is truly helpful in peoples lives (We don't make enough on these sales to ever be called greedy anyway). One of the cool new ways to spread the word is to share something that everyone who sees it will want to share with their friends. I think this video qualifies. If you can spare a few minutes I think you will be hooked. The people at Red Giant Software have done a great job of creating this Viral Video to get the word out about their video editing software... we just want to assist their efforts and reap some of the benefits of association... and we're pretty sure you will enjoy it along the way.

Back to School Time Already?

With many kids around the country going back to school today or next Monday I thought I would inspire all the parents with the new buses your system will be utilizing this year. All of us have cutbacks we are going through because of the recession. While this bus may not look all that great, I can assure you the kids will be well entertained (scared), and get to school much faster with the new fleet.

It's a Blue One...

Parts Expert: How can I help you today?
Woman Customer: I need some parts for my car.
Parts Expert: What kind of car do you have?
Woman Customer: It's a blue one...

It's not always like that, and all women are certainly not clueless about their cars, but sometimes it can be challenging to try to discern exactly which part, for what car, might be needed while speaking with a customer over the phone. Our parts experts all have many years of assisting auto repair professionals look up hard to find applications. Sometimes they jump to question number three when attempting to help. "Give me the last 8 of the VIN" is a foreign language to many who are using the internet to look up their auto parts for the first time.

What we are learning is that it is always best to be patient and ask all of the right questions, in the right order, to make sure we get it exactly right. What we are also learning is that for every difficult customer there are one hundred really nice people out there. We are thankful for the opportunity to share our wholesale prices and inventory with a very appreciative public. Working together towards savings is a win / win for all of us. Thanks so much for your business!!

1946 Chevy Suburban "pre" SUV

What a great looking SUV, from before the term was even coined. Detroit turned out some serious steel back in the day! When this truck rolled off the assembly line, the parent company of Autopartstomorrow.com had been providing GM parts to GM dealerships for 20 over years!!

Today's SUV's have a few more working parts than those of yesteryear, but you can still get GM parts from us, overnight, if you are in the Eastern US. Give us a shot for your auto parts needs, and you may be with us as long as this Suburban has been around.

Auto Parts For Your Shop

Get the Parts You Need When You Need Them

Running an auto repair shop today is no walk in the park, the cars have become extremely complex, parts no longer interchange and your customers have about as much patience as a ten year old with ADD. This is not a pretty picture and when you have to call a customer to tell them that they are not going to be seeing their car for a few days because you can't get the parts you need, the picture can get very ugly.

Cars may have changed, but people never change and everybody wants their car repaired yesterday and they want it done practically for free. So when you have to call a customer and tell them that either there car is going to be sitting for a few days because no one in the area has the parts you need to fix or that the price is going to high because the only parts in the area are seriously overpriced, you better hold the phone away from your ear.

When you find yourself in this position, it seems that no matter which way you turn, you are going to come out looking like the bad guy. Such is the way it is when you run an auto repair facility. A recent poll showed that the only place people hated going to more than to have their car fixed was to the dentist. Not much of a distinction in this, is there? Fortunately there is something you can do to get the parts you need in a hurry and at prices that your customers won't mind paying quite so much.

As you have probably already noticed, the Internet has changed the way the world shops for just about anything they want or need. While this might not necessarily be good for a number of local businesses, it has made it much easier for us to find the things we want at prices that we can afford to pay. The best part is that we can do all of this with the click of a mouse sitting at home or in the office. It only stands to reason then that the automotive parts industry would turn to this medium to sell their parts.

The Internet retail world has grown to span literally millions of online retailers, many of which do not even have a physical location. Today you can buy practically anything you could ever need online from ant farms to zoology books and millions of items in between. Not only can you buy everything you are likely to ever need, you can buy it for far less than you can in your local stores, even if you have to pay for shipping.

So what does this have to do with getting that anti-lock brake control module you need for the Caddy in the third bay? If you look online, you are going to find thousands of online automotive parts retailers who all claim to have the best parts and the lowest prices. Does this mean that you should buy your parts from the first site you come across that has the parts you need? Definitely not, you are going to need to look very carefully at these retailers and be prepared to do a little research first.

Not all online auto parts retailers are created equal and you are going to have try and sort out the good ones from the bad. You are going to find that some have large inventories, some have low prices and others offer excellent customer service. The hard part is finding one online auto parts dealer that is going to be a combination of all three.

What you really need is an online parts retailer that has prices that are in keeping with your budget. These days your customers are watching their pennies more closely than ever before, so you need to be able to buy top quality parts at prices that are low enough that you can pass them on to your customers. Even more importantly, you need a supplier that is going to ship your parts to you in a timely manner so that your customers' cars are not sitting for days on end.

At Auto Parts Tomorrow you will always find the parts you need in stock and ready to ship directly to your shop. With 30 trained professional auto parts personnel on staff to ensure that the right parts are always pulled, you can shop with full confidence. We also guarantee overnight shipping on all orders over $50 along the eastern half of the country and prices that are 30% lower than our competitors.

Is This Part Original Equipment?

The answer to this question is becoming more obscure each year. We are an authorized distributor of, under contract with, ACDelco and Motorcraft. Our business model, beginning in 1924, is to play our role in the distribution chain for GM and Ford parts divisions. As such we buy millions of dollars in auto parts each month straight from the manufacturers regional warehouses so that we will have them locally available to dealerships in our areas. If you take your vehicle to a GM or Ford service department in our area, and they need a part that is not in stock, they will pick up the phone or order that part online from our parent company... and we will put it in a delivery truck and get it to them ASAP. Even if it comes from their stock, if it is ACDelco or Motorcraft, chances are they got it from us.

Now back to the complicated part of the question. Over the years GM and Ford have slowly changed the process by which they have their parts manufactured. It used to be that most parts were actually made in their own plants. Little by little they have offered the rights to supply these parts to other manufacturers who agree to build the parts to their very strict engineering guidelines, at the cost needed (a bidding process). As such, it is possible that the actual OE part that comes in a Motorcraft or ACDelco box may be marked as a Standard or Four Seasons or any other manufacturer. As an example, I was speaking with a woman just the other day who said the original ECM on her Pontiac Vibe had a Toyota label on it.

In today's interrelated world there are many opportunities to streamline manufacturing processes and save on production costs by using this bidding process. It should not however cause anyone to lose faith in the actual part provided in a manufacturer box. The same stringent engineering guidelines are applied to the process, whether the part is made next door in a warehouse owned by the manufacturer, or overseas on a contract basis. The company making the part understands that if at any point there is a breakdown in the quality standards dictated, they could lose the contract and potentially be out of business. It is different than the old days, but seems to be working better in cost, quality and speed of delivery. We will stand behind these products because we have seen that they are indeed the best available for OE applications.

Most people who know Stan outside of work would label him a cut-up. But when it comes to parts knowledge we are glad to have him on our team. Like many people here, Stan has been in the auto parts industry most of his life. If you ever have a question about which part would be the correct choice, just ask for Stan! If you look closely you can see Stan driving his Dodge Dart in the Super Pro Drag division of the Southern Nationals.

Saving Money is a Mindset

One of my favorite words is Paradigm. It describes a particular way of thinking that becomes so entrenched it becomes the prizm through which you view the world, and thus make all decisions through. If your basic Paradigm is that excess is reality (like our country seemed to become) then anything revolving around saving, or thrift just seems unworthy.

Because of the recession however many have had to revisit their way of thinking and really begin to decide what is important. Whatever your reason for resetting your mindset may be, welcome to the club. At Autopartstomorrow we look at everything through the lense of savings.

Auto parts are available on every street corner across the country. What can we do to make our company the obvious choice when you need to buy that repair part for your vehicle. Our feelings are that if we can get you the part VERY quickly, and save you huge amounts of money, we can become your partner in an overall savings program. Whether you want to put that money in an emergency account, use it to pay for high dollar gas, or help pay for soaring insurance cost... anything; we want to be on the partnership side of your personal frugal paradigm. While everything else seems to be going up in price, ours are going down.

Animal Cruelty

I don't know about you but it just isn't right to use a cute little pig like this to check your oil with. If you look closely it is obvious that this is a pink pig, with oil stains where someone wiped their oil stick... just shameful.

Everyone knows that pigs are meant to fatten up and help celebrate the New Year!

Don't Buy This From Us

That is not a sentence you normally hear from an auto parts supplier is it? At Autopartstomorrow we learned a long time ago it is better to take care of our customers than to make a sale (it creates partners vs. customers). Occasionally our ship direct model of doing business is at odds with finding the exact part your vehicle needs. In those cases it is better to do a visual comparison, actually at the local auto parts store, to make sure what you buy is what you want.

In the case of U-Joints (pictured above) there are so many possibilities that we want to save you the frustration of ordering the incorrect item and then going through the hassle of returning it and guessing again. Depending on the gear set in the rear end, the type of transmission, and even some suspension options you could use one of a myriad of options. Combine that with many vehicles that have two piece drive shafts and it becomes too tricky to handle efficiently online.

I don't say this very often but even our auto parts experts agree, match it up onsite... and since you can't come to our warehouse, buy it at your friendly NAPA store. They are good people (albeit a little pricy) over there and will be glad to help.

Why Should I Change Auto Parts Suppliers?

If we were just another auto parts store that might be a legitimate question. Autopartstomorrow.com is a different auto parts PROCESS that has been designed to save You money through OUR efficiencies.

When you buy from Autopartstomorrow you are buying from a warehouse distributor. We do not have the expense of maintaining auto parts stores all across the country. The rent, utilities, fleets of vehicles, employees, advertising, promotions, etc., the costs of running a retail business, all need to be folded into the cost ratio of the parts being sold. As such, the profit margin between what was paid for the actual auto part and what that part can be sold for needs to help pay for those expenses. As a warehouse distributor we basically have one HUGE warehouse per region, and UPS and FEDEX come to us to pick up the pallets of auto parts we ship each night.

Don't get me wrong, we still have support costs, but we keep those at an absolute minimum so we can sell our auto parts for less than the competition could even think about. We will be opening more large warehouses as we go to make sure we can get you your parts next day in every corner of the United States, but we promise to be frugal about the way we handle expansion to make sure we are always the best value for your auto parts needs. Our customers seem to think we have made the right choices so far.

Thanks !! Autopartstomorrow

How to Spot a Bad Mechanic

There are great mechanics out there, and typically their hourly rates are reasonable for the work being performed. There are however, some shops that should be avoided. Unfortunately, whenever we deal with people there will always be a wide range, and a few of those towards the bottom of the list need to be left alone. Since a majority of our customers are the other mechanics, the ones at the top of the list, they will agree... the terrible ones give the industry a bad name.

Rule #1 Ask around. Even if you have just moved into an area, there are people around you that would love to help a newcomer out. Mechanics are classically advertised by word of mouth. For every good referral you will get, you will also hear horror stories about the ones to avoid.

Rule #2 Look around the lot. Are there quite a few vehicles in various states of dismantlement? Does it look like they have been abandoned for months? Is the general condition of the premises at least organized looking. A repair shop cannot always be spotless because of the nature of the business, but the good shop owners take pride in their job and have procedures to keep the place clean and safe.

Rule #3 There is nothing wrong with checking out the Better Business Bureau for your area just to make sure there aren't outstanding complaints. Appearances can sometimes be deceiving. Dishonest mechanics can get by on appearances for a while. You don't want to be one of the victims before Rule #1 catches up with them.

Rule #4 Fear Tactics. This is one my wife ran into years ago (and I am still steamed about it). She got a coupon for an unbelievable deal on a front brake job. She asked me about it and I told her it couldn't be true ($59 front brakes-$99 all four). If it were true the brakes themselves would be of terrible quality. Anyway, like every good wife out there she felt she needed to check it out anyway. That afternoon I got a tearful call from her after the mechanic told her it would be $500 to repair her brakes and he was going to call the police if she tried to drive away because they were so dangerous. I called him, then called their corporate office in another state, and went by to get the car released.

There was NOT a safety issue with the brakes. Brake shoes have a safety mechanism built in to warn you that it is time to replace them. Most of the time when you hear that awful noise of metal on metal, it is the "chirper" tab. It is time to replace the brakes, but if you can stand the noise you have a few days to get the car somewhere for repair. The moral here is "If a mechanic uses coupons to bait you in and then fear tactics to take your money, it would be better to tow your car somewhere else". Let me add one thing here, use Rule#1 and tell everyone you know about their deceptive practices.

Mechanics should be your friend and trusted partner. There will be times that they have to share bad news with you, but knowing you can trust them makes it easier to take. There is no place for deception in the automotive trade. If you give your business and money to the honest mechanic, and tell everyone you know about the bad ones, it will be a better industry for all of us.

File this one under "You learn something new every day". I subscribe to the dictionary.com word of the day e-mail. I would say that 95% of the time I already know the words, and the other 5% of the time the words are mainly from some obscure Old English or French dialect.

Car Talk Service Advice

Car Talk is a long running radio talk show that is basically a conversation between two brothers and their experiences in trying to help others wisely make decisions on repairing cars. In Atlanta it airs on a public broadcasting station, I believe on Sundays. My favorite program has been their explanation of how their entrepreneurial attempt at a garage where the customer rents tools became an abysmal failure. Good attempt, great service project, but it didn't take into account the basic skill level of your average consumer.

Their web page works much better. Link to CarTalk.com and utilize their vast content of resources. They are truly dedicated to helping the average person who wants to save money on their car repair. It may be a good one for you to bookmark.

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night ...

There are many products on the market that help us keep up with the effects of UV discoloration on headlight lenses. The secret is to be diligent and use them for maintenance as soon as the glass gets a little hazy. If you wait until the lenses are completely clouded over you may only be able to improve the situation, but not cure it. I spent the better part of my Sunday afternoon trying to rescue a set of headlights that had been left untouched for too long. I bought the vehicle from someone else... I try not to let them go that long.

My rule of thumb is a light cleaning with one of the products (I use Meguiars Plast-X) every time I change the oil. That is also a good time to spray down your engine compartment and components with Simple Green. If you work on your own car, keeping the engine clean will make it much more enjoyable. If not, your mechanic will thank you.

How Long Should My Car Last?

I can remember when anyone who had 100,000 miles on their vehicle could brag about the longevity they were able to obtain by taking care of their car. A few years back many of the manufacturers began touting first tune-up at 100,000 miles! These days cars are engineered so well that many are able to reach this milestone even with less than diligent owners. What most of us need to know is that by following some pretty simple guidelines, outlined in the owners manual, we can expect to almost double the life expectancy of our cars. Now we just need to work on the "Need vs. Want" aspect and reset that new car itch for a longer shelf life.

Why Do I Need a Return Request?

For those of you not in the auto parts business this is an entirely legitimate question. Those of us that deal with returns of auto parts each day just drop our head and quietly mutter "They just don't understand...". Unlike many other industries, there are many different scenarios as to why someone might need to return a part, and several different return types that need to considered when a box with a part in it (and no paperwork or explanation) shows up at our door.

We are a wholesale company... that also sells to the public. The first thing a returns associate needs to know is "Who gets credit, and how much?". If it a customer with an account it then becomes a question of is it a warranty, a new return (just didn't need it), a new defective item or a core return. Then the returns associate needs to determine if the part is returnable to the manufacturer, can we get a core rebate, if it was just selected incorrectly should it go back on the shelf... and on and on and on.

So, with all of that said, it is always best to have the paperwork printed and in the box so that our returns department (five full time associates) can quickly read what needs to be done and speed your credit. We understand it takes a few minutes to fill out the request and print the approval for your return, but without it we cannot determine what is needed. For your own benefit, please fill out the return form... and we will pledge to push the credit back to you as quickly as we can.

Help For Your Auto Repair Shop is Here, Tomorrow

The Right Brands, The Right Auto Parts, Tomorrow

As if the insane amount of money you have to spend keeping your technicians trained in the latest diagnostic skills is not expensive enough, you still have to deal with the fact that your local auto parts never has the parts you need. This is typical of the auto repair industry and no matter how many different dealerships and auto parts stores you happen to have in your local area, they never seem to have all of the parts you need to keep your customers' cars on the road.

You might think that given the extremely high tech nature of today's cars that your customers might be a bit more understanding when you have to tell them that no one has the part needed to fix their car and that it could take several days to find. Sadly like every other facet of their hurried lives, the last thing the vast majority of your customers want to hear is that they are going to be without their precious car for more than a few hours.

The average car owner wants their car repaired yesterday even though they just brought it in for repairs today. This has to be one of the biggest headaches any repair shop has to deal with as no matter how qualified their technicians are, if they cannot get the parts needed to complete the repairs, then their customers' cars are going to have to sit out on the lot until the local parts store decides that they can get around to getting you the parts that you need.

Today you will find that you no longer have to deal with local parts stores that never have the parts you need or the dealerships in your area that have the parts, but want to charge you and arm and a leg for them. Not only do you end up paying far too much buying your parts this way, you are going to have a hard time explaining to your customers why their bills are just shy of highway robbery. Neither of these situations is particularly good.

However, just because you are able to shop on the Internet does not mean that all online auto parts sites are the same. Just as much as you would want to know that a regular bricks and mortar parts store is going to deliver on their promise, you need to know that the online store you are thinking about dealing with is going to do the same. The last thing you need is to end dealing with an online parts retailer that is going to sell you junk and take forever to deliver it.

While price is not everything and as you have no doubt found, in many cases when you pay the lowest possible price for the parts you need, you live to regret it. The problem with buying those ultra-cheap parts is that the vast majority of them are made offshore by companies that have little regard for the quality of their parts and in many cases are making knock offs that end up not fitting properly or in many cases at all. This leaves you sitting with a worthless piece of junk on your hands and a customer's car that is still waiting for the right parts to complete the repair.

At Auto Parts Tomorrow we realized what was going on in the automotive parts retail industry and set out to do something about. The first thing we did was to look at the two biggest problems that the average auto repair shop had to deal with. First the high cost of the parts that they needed to complete the repairs on their customers' cars and secondly the inability to get the parts they needed in a hurry. To solve this we located sources of top name replacement parts, many of the OEM parts, that could provide them to us at rock bottom prices we could pass on to our customers. This way you can buy the parts you need from us with full confidence that they will be the right part, will fit properly and that they are going to work.

The next thing the team here at Auto Parts Tomorrow did was to set up a system by which you can order the parts you need and have them on your doorstep in one business day. As long as you are located on the eastern half of the country, we guarantee that you parts will be shipped overnight as long as you order by 5pm, within certain restriction. This will help you to keep your customers more than satisfied.

Car Maintenance

If you don't take care of your car it won't take long until it won't take care of you anymore. If you don't wash your car it could rust. Maybe not as badly as in the photo, but I wouldn't take a chance. These days people tend to put off expenses a little longer than in the past. The reality is however that saving a little money today on maintenance is not always the best idea long term. Let me make a suggestion. There are many items that you may have paid someone else to do for you in the past that you could probably do yourself.

With all of the resources on the internet today there are many ways to research how to do your own Car Maintenance. You might find how-to videos on YouTube. Articles or stories on Google or Wikipedia, and maybe even a helpful mechanic on Twitter.

Wherever you find the tips on how to do your repair, always remember that you will get the best parts at the best prices from Autopartstomorrow.com.

Who Should You Trust?

When you buy anything online you are allowing for a certain amount of trust in a stranger. Many people do some research into who that company is behind the scenes. If it's the same brand name as someone that has a bricks and mortar auto parts store down the street it provides a little bit more comfort. For a company like Autopartstomorrow.com we are probably never going to have a storefront on every corner (In business, never say never).

The reason is that we feel we can work in a much more cost efficient manner if we don't have those astronomical expenses associated with rent, upkeep, utilities, employees, etc... If we are going to sell wholesale, we need to keep our operations er, wholesale. That doesn't mean we aren't worthy of your trust.

In the world of auto parts distribution there have always been several layers; The manufacturer, the distributor, the Jobber store, the store front, the mechanic and the end user. The manufacturer recognizes that their talent lies in the actual making of the part. They make the parts and sell them by the truckload to companies whose expertise is in distributing the parts. We are a wholesale distributor. We have been this cog in the wheel for over 80 years. We are good at buying from the manufacturer and distributing them to others with the ability to get product to the customer.

In the past, it really was necessary to have a storefront near where the end user lived. Now, with the internet, we can "distribute" directly. As a result, we can also collapse a couple of those levels of profit taking, and share our savings with the customer. We feel that those savings make it worth buying from a huge regional warehouse in an industrial district rather than a beautiful, well lit and merchandised auto parts store down the street. At the end of the day however, it will be up to the consumer to decide.

Auto Parts 101

One of the first lessons we learned here at Autopartstomorrow.com when we opened up our wholesale auto parts inventory to the public was that we needed to get back to basics about what we called those parts. We have been selling to professionals for over 80 years, so when we used the acronym V.I.N. they already knew that was a Vehicle Identification Number. We cannot assume that everyone who needs to buy an auto part automatically knows what that auto part might be called. Even our parts catalogs sometimes call parts by different names. What may be a fuel pump to one may be called a sending unit to another. There are differences between the two if you know auto parts, but that is just semantics to a customer who needs help.

As a result, I am always on the lookout for resources that help explain the basics on auto parts. An educated customer is more likely to buy their auto parts from us. With that in mind I was excited to find this article on the carinsurance.org web page. It is thorough and easy to understand... and quite helpful on a very basic level. Perfect as a tool for our beginning customers. Check out the site at http://www.carinsurance.org/parts-of-a-car/ and if you have any further questions do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-547-2052.

What Did That Car Do?

I have heard of people that really hated their cars. I have even been very frustrated with a few of my own cars in the past. The photo above and this link to the video are however a little disturbing. Why would someone take a decent looking Porsche 911 and destroy it on the gun range? I know a broken down German car can really make the cash register ring when it's time to start buying auto parts and paying Gunther to do the labor, but...surely they could have found someone willing to purchase it for something? Who knows, maybe these guys all paid a large sum of money for the right to shoot at the car. I'm trying to find reason in a chaotic scene.

As a symbolic exercise in rebelling against excess this logic seems a bit circular to me.
