Websites for salvage and used parts dealers: your parts on your own site within the hour, and the enquiry on your desk first

You already keep your parts up to date for the parts marketplaces and online auction sites. The same feed can run a site you own, fast enough to score 100 on Google's own test, where a mechanic finds the part, sends the enquiry to you, and never sees a competitor's stock beside yours.

What it is like now

  • Every part is listed on a marketplace that takes 10% and owns the customer.
  • Enquiries are “have you got a…” calls that a search box would answer.
  • Vehicles arrive daily and the inventory is in someone's head.

What we build for parts dealers

  • Inventory by vehicle, part and condition, searchable by registration or model
  • Listings pushed to the marketplaces from your site, not the other way round
  • Enquiry and buy-now with postage calculated
  • Vehicle intake that creates the parts records in one pass

What it looks like in practice

Every part is on a marketplace that takes 10% and owns the customer, and the inventory is in someone's head. We build inventory by vehicle, part and condition, searchable by registration or model; listings pushed to the marketplaces from your site rather than the other way round; enquiry and buy-now with postage calculated; and a vehicle intake that creates the parts records in one pass.

What a website costs for salvage and used parts dealers

Most parts dealers need the Platform tier, from €20,000, delivered in 10 to 14 weeks, paid 40 / 40 / 20, or 12 monthly payments. That includes your parts fed from your own system, a page per part, the filters your buyers use, enquiry capture with alerts, sector pages, structured data, 100/100 on Google's speed test at launch, and your hosting, domain and code in your name.

After launch, most take the Managed care plan at €195 a month: hosting, backups, updates, monitoring, unlimited content edits and two hours of development a month, cancel any month. If the site you have now only needs its faults fixed rather than replacing, single fixes start at €350 and the free audit names them.

Typical ticket for a part in your trade is €20 to €3,000 a part; one enquiry that comes to you instead of to the parts marketplaces and online auction sites covers a lot of website. The full menu, with the five-year comparison, is on the pricing page.

Questions parts dealers ask

Can a mechanic search by the car's registration?
Yes. Registration resolves to make, model, year and engine, and the search shows the parts you hold for that vehicle.
We list on marketplaces and do not want to stop.
You list once on your site and it pushes to the marketplaces. The enquiry comes home either way.
Postage on a gearbox is not the same as postage on a mirror.
Weight and size bands per part category, with a collect-only flag for the big items.

Before you compare quotes

Five questions to ask anyone quoting you, and our answers

Where is the work actually done?
Here, by the person you are talking to. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop in another time zone without telling you, because nothing is passed anywhere.
Who can see my enquiry data, and under what agreement?
You, and us while we build or maintain it, under a written data-processing agreement. Your customers' details never leave infrastructure in your name.
What happens on day 31?
The same as day 1. Fixed-price builds carry a 90-day warranty on defects; care plans run month to month; nothing expires when the invoice clears.
Who owns the code, the hosting and the domain?
You do, from the first commit. Your repository, your hosting account, your registrar. Written into the quote.
What does Google's own speed test say about it?
100/100 at launch on every build we ship, or you do not pay the final instalment. Run it yourself, on any page of the proof site, right now.
