How to Order or Parts when you run a small dealership, and thank you for the suggestions.

Thursday, March 24, 2011
We're working on our site.

I listened to our clients at the show this year and I do talk to them every single day. I assure you our first step is to count all the parts we have, then to measure, upload, and make sure we have pictures. Sadly after 9 companies we are still in step 1 and 2. It is one of several projects we are undertaking right now. Things were moving so fast last year that we would buy a Vespa store that closed and I would sell most of the inventory before I even get to open it sometimes. Then in other cases it takes us three months to find the Diamo part a dealer was looking for. Fortunately we are making tremendous amounts of progress. See video below for some ideas.

If you knew us from the old days when we only had 1,500 parts and half were from Malaguti or SYM then you haven't seen anything, over a thousand parts belong in the racing category and you can find those applications at this link: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/d83097ef Bookmark it, link to it, save it. To know our apps use this app.

I think the biggest issue I see at small operations is that the big shops don't have time for scooters and the small dealers don't have time to take care of the phone, walk in clients, and look up part numbers in manuals.

So I get phone calls where it starts off like this " I need a Caliper," my response is "Sir, do you have the brand, model, year for the caliper," and the response is "no it's Chinese maybe a Matrix?" well the truth is the Matrix is not some generic Chinese bike, nor is the Chinese Matrix II they come from two different factories.

Several companies that try to sell parts for brands like UM don't have anything that really works because they don't know this. Our issue is we haven't had time yet to take pictures of everything so we want dealers to use the PDF files found at: http://www.martinracingdealer.com/WSWrapper.jsp?mypage=Manuals.htm so until we are able to take a picture of all 20,000 parts we will have to ask that dealers send us a picture if its a brand they don't recognize. 

If you can't find the PDF file ( please check first ) use the Pricing Excel sheet. We can email this to you for everything in stock at the warehouse.

A couple of suggestions. Send the picture in mid resolution. Meaning don't send a 10meg picture. Put your camera or phone on mid range so the picture is under 1 meg. Send it to both emails we have here.
Send it from different angles
Show the part from different sides with measurements whenever possible.
Then if necessary take a picture of the Chinese bike.

Now if you don't have a mechanic, get one. Too many dealers don't have a full time mechanic these days.
I had several people come to me at the dealer expo this year with the same bright idea I heard three years ago which is "my wife is going to help me take internet orders from home," this doesn't work, maybe for helmets, and jackets, but for hard parts you need a mechanic. Now if you have a mechanic that has never fixed a scooter grab some crazy glue and put one of these on them.Fixing a Harley and a scooter are two different beast altogether. The mechanic might actually find Chinese scooter parts to be more difficult so buy a $30 camera at Best Buy and it will solve 90% of your problems and help us get you more parts quicker if we haven't taken the picture yet.



If you can put it on their forehead even better and stream it so we can see what he is looking at when he gets a Baja Motorsports or Sun L bike that hasn't been on the market for ten years. Trust me this camera will come in handy.

In the meantime, if you're buying parts keep in mind we are adding 20 to 30 parts per day to our inventory. It grows. The list of parts from last year looks nothing like the list today. I know of no other company that has this many OEM parts for bikes. It's an insane task and you have to be slightly crazy to do.

That's us. We are keeping dealers in business and consumers on the road.

We are almost at Step 3. We should be measuring, consolidating, and adding pictures in the next few months. We still have about 10,000 items to add, but we are almost there.

So for OEM parts from TNG, United Motors, CPI, we will be the best there is.
