Anyone able to share some insight as to why I can't seem to find anything other than brake pads/rotors or light bulbs for Hyundai cars in the aftermarket? My local dealer is the only game in town, and has stopped delivering parts to independent shops. None of my vendors seem to keep much of anything in stock. Frustrating.

There are still MANY items that are simply dealer only for Kia/Hyundai. NAPA has really started to boost their Altrom line in our area. Alot of the Altrom part line are OEM products but not every. WorldPAC has good availability as well but like I said, sometimes you just have to go to the dealer.

Not sure if you get the Ratchet & Wrench magazine? This month's magazine has an ad on Page 20

from a Hyundai Dealer, located within an hour of your shop. If you do not have that magazine issue,

send me a private message and I'll send you a photo of the ad.

 

You may think an hour away is too far. It's been my experience a wholesaling dealer advertising

in a magazine like Ratchet & Wrench is set up to service a large area.

 

There are many aspects to dealer parts. I wrote an article that may help you when you talk to

dealers about buying parts:

Let me know if you have any questions.

I think the issue is the 10/100000 warranty. I needed some rotors and tie rods for a 2012 the other day and nobody had anything in stock, even the warehouse was showing nothing. Seemed unusual until I read this.

 

I got hooked up with a dealer over an hour away, they network with a couple dozen dealers and deliver daily. 20% off list isn't best but better than no part.

My area dealers give me list price about five dollars over my price. I have to use my matrix and common sense on what I need to have to stay in business. It's a game that the dealer parts suppliers use to keep us all competitive.

      Want to End Your Technician Shortage? Focus on Retention!
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog
         5 comments
      I recently spoke with a friend of mine who owns a large general repair shop in the Midwest. His father founded the business in 1975. He was telling me that although he’s busy, he’s also very frustrated. When I probed him more about his frustrations, he said that it’s hard to find qualified technicians. My friend employs four technicians and is looking to hire two more. I then asked him, “How long does a technician last working for you.” He looked puzzled and replied, “I never really thought about that, but I can tell that except for one tech, most technicians don’t last working for me longer than a few years.”
      Judging from personal experience as a shop owner and from what I know about the auto repair industry, I can tell you that other than a few exceptions, the turnover rate for technicians in our industry is too high. This makes me think, do we have a technician shortage or a retention problem? Have we done the best we can over the decades to provide great pay plans, benefits packages, great work environments, and the right culture to ensure that the techs we have stay with us?
      Finding and hiring qualified automotive technicians is not a new phenomenon. This problem has been around for as long as I can remember. While we do need to attract people to our industry and provide the necessary training and mentorship, we also need to focus on retention. Having a revolving door and needing to hire techs every few years or so costs your company money. Big money! And that revolving door may be a sign of an even bigger issue: poor leadership, and poor employee management skills.
      Here’s one more thing to consider, for the most part, technicians don’t leave one job to start a new career, they leave one shop as a technician to become a technician at another shop. The reasons why they leave can be debated, but there is one fact that we cannot deny, people don’t quit the company they work for, they usually leave because of the boss or manager they work for.
      Put yourselves in the shoes of your employees. Do you have a workplace that communicates, “We appreciate you and want you to stay!”
