Shawn Parrett is a Mercedes-Benz Master Certified Parts Manager with over 25 years of Fixed-Ops experience in the auto industry. Today, he joins Kaylee to discuss the critical role automotive parts play in customer satisfaction. With expertise in commercial sales, customer service, warranty, and logistics, Shawn sheds light on the ever-evolving nature of the automotive industry and its parts.
As technology continues to advance, the automotive industry's needs must adapt accordingly. To stay competitive, parts managers need to focus on growing their parts business. This involves being well-informed about the parts they sell, ensuring customers receive the best fit for their requirements from a knowledgeable and experienced provider.
Shawn says going the extra mile for customers is another crucial aspect of growing the business. When customers feel valued and appreciated, they're more likely to continue their relationship with the parts provider.

Lastly, increasing inventory is vital for parts managers. A wider variety of options will not only cater to customer needs but also boost sales. By seizing these opportunities, parts managers can stay ahead in the competitive landscape and elevate their sales figures.
