In the fast-paced world of automotive recycling, efficiency and communication are paramount. For businesses focused on Buy And Sell Used Car Parts, having the right tools can make all the difference. Introducing Car-Part Messaging (iCPM), a specialized instant messaging platform designed to connect automotive recyclers and collision repairers, streamlining the entire process of sourcing, selling, and managing used auto parts inventory.
iCPM isn’t just another messaging app; it’s a comprehensive parts brokering solution tailored for the unique needs of the automotive salvage industry. Imagine a single program that allows you to instantly communicate with your network, manage live chat inquiries from online marketplaces, efficiently sell parts, and quickly locate and price the components you need. This is the power of iCPM.
Connect Instantly with Recyclers and Repair Shops
Building a strong network is crucial when you buy and sell used car parts. iCPM’s intuitive Roster feature provides effortless access to your contacts, enabling instant communication with other recyclers on the iCPM network and collision repair facilities utilizing Integrated Car Part Pro (iPro). Finding the right contact is made simple with a convenient search bar and saved contact groups.
To further enhance efficiency, iCPM includes preset message buttons. These customizable buttons allow you to send frequently used phrases with a single click, eliminating repetitive typing and saving valuable time. Whether it’s a quick greeting like “Hi, how can I help you?” or standard policy information such as “Our warranty is 90 days,” preset messages ensure consistent and rapid communication.

Capture Leads with Live Chat Directly from Online Listings
In today’s digital marketplace, customers expect instant responses. iCPM’s Live Chat feature ensures you never miss a potential sale. For businesses actively listing parts on platforms like Car-Part.com, Car Part Pro, and even their own websites, Live Chat provides a direct line of communication between you and prospective buyers while they are actively searching for used car parts to buy.
The Live Chat functionality integrates seamlessly with popular online marketplaces. Customers browsing your listings can initiate a chat directly from their search results, opening a real-time conversation with your team.

On your end, these Live Chat inquiries are delivered directly within the iCPM interface.

Crucially, each incoming chat message includes the customer’s search details, giving your team immediate context and enabling highly targeted and effective responses from the very first message.

This tab provides a clear overview of all incoming requests, allowing you to easily track unread inquiries and prioritize responses. Quickly replying directly from the Sales tab facilitates faster sales cycles and improved customer service when you sell used car parts.

Generate Sales Leads with Real-Time Part Verification
For recyclers utilizing Car Part Pro to list their inventory, iCPM offers an invaluable lead generation tool: Real Time Part Verification. This feature integrates a Confirm Availability button into your Car Part Pro listings, enabling potential buyers, such as body shops and insurance adjusters, to instantly verify part availability. This real-time confirmation significantly improves the buying experience and generates high-quality sales leads.
When a customer clicks Confirm Availability, iCPM immediately sends a notification to your Verify tab. This notification provides comprehensive lead details, including part information, user type (e.g., body shop), contact information, price breakdown, and any message sent by the customer. Each verification notification represents a valuable, qualified sales lead, delivered directly to your iCPM interface.
