🔧 How do shops decide which parts to order? Over a third of shops told us it comes down to one thing: availability. Half of these shops say service writers and advisors own the day-to-day parts ordering process, but shop owners are the ones shaping which parts get ordered in the first place.


We surveyed ~700 repair shops to see how parts ordering decisions really get made. 📊
