How it Works

Here at Connect Auto Parts we have developed a reverse auction system where the prices of parts drop rather than climb like in your typical auction.

Please note that at the moment we are most active in South Australia but we are expanding nationally -  register your interest to know more about the network's growth in your region.

You can join as a BUYER (to buy parts) or a SELLER (to sell parts) or a TRADER (to buy AND sell parts).

How it works for B uyers

  1. Join Connect Auto Parts
  2. Start a Quote Request - it is a simple as entering your car's details (make, model, licence plate or VIN number), tell the sellers what your after and attach some pics if that helps you describe what you need
  3. Set your timeframe you want an answer from the sellers 2 hours, 3 hours, 1 day, 2 weeks etc.
  4. Connect Auto Parts sends your quote request to every SELLER that stocks your make of car
  5. Watch the quotes fly in from suppliers offereing their best prices and warranties to get you to purchase their part

THAT IS IT!  Let the parts chase you within the timeframe you set.

You will be dealing DIRECT with the suppliers so there is no confusion or middle person involved.

How it works for Sellers

As a Seller, you can choose to submit a quote or can say 'No stock' with one click so it is removed from your list.

As a Seller, you can take control of the information you see - filter the quote requests for your business to the makes and models you stock.

As a Seller, you can change and update these filters as often as you want - this allows you to see the demand in the market and opening you up to expand your business to more or different makes models and in turn more customers.
