With 225 parts and tire suppliers across 30,000+ supplier locations, PartsTech simplifies your parts ordering process by connecting you to the suppliers you trust. But how can you confirm that your go-to supplier(s) are on PartsTech? Whether you’re a new user or exploring new supplier options, here’s a quick guide to discovering if PartsTech has your supplier(s) — and what to do if it looks like one of your suppliers is not yet part of the PartsTech ecosystem.

PartsTech’s supplier network spans across three main categories:

• Parts suppliers: Access major retailers and local parts stores
• Tire suppliers: Connect with over 50 tire suppliers nationwide
• Dealers: Order OE parts directly from dealerships in your area

Step 1: Explore the Supplier Map

PartsTech makes it easy to identify which suppliers are available in your area. Log into your PartsTech account and navigate to the Suppliers tab on the left-hand side.

Here’s what you’ll find:

• A Supplier Map: This shows suppliers within a 50-mile radius of your shop’s zip code
• Category Filters: Use the tabs (e.g., Parts, Tires, Dealers) to narrow your search to specific supplier types
• Near Instant Connection Indicators: Some suppliers are marked with Connection Time: < 1 min”,” meaning you can link to them almost immediately.
• National Suppliers: For national suppliers like WorldPac and SSF, PartsTech includes distribution centers that service your area — even if they’re located outside the 50-mile radius

Step 2: Check Your Connected Suppliers

Already using PartsTech? You can quickly view which suppliers are connected to your account:

1. Navigate to the Suppliers section of your dashboard
2. Review the list of suppliers already connected to your shop
3. Add additional suppliers with a few clicks

Understanding Connection Times 

Most supplier connections are completed within minutes, but some may take 24-48 hours for approval. Here’s what to expect:

• Instant connections: Many suppliers offer immediate approval
• Quick connections: Most suppliers approve within a few hours
• Standard connections: Some suppliers may require 1-2 business days for verification

Pro Tip: Start with connecting your most-used suppliers first. You can always add more as needed

Step 3: Let PartsTech Know if We Don’t Have Your Supplier

Don’t see your supplier? Let us know! Every shop’s needs are unique, and PartsTech is committed to growing its network to serve the auto repair industry better. We listen to customers and add new suppliers each month.
