In the competitive automotive recycling industry, efficiency and communication are key to maximizing your sales and staying ahead. Are you looking for a streamlined solution to Sell Your Car Parts more effectively and connect with a wider network of buyers? Car-Part Messaging (iCPM) is designed to be your all-in-one platform, integrating instant communication, live chat capabilities, and essential parts brokering tools directly into your workflow.
iCPM isn’t just a messaging system; it’s a comprehensive tool built to enhance every aspect of your parts selling process. From instantly connecting with other recyclers and collision repairers to engaging directly with customers browsing your online listings, iCPM provides the features you need to boost your sales and simplify your daily operations. Discover how iCPM can revolutionize the way you sell your car parts.
Instant Communication with Recyclers and Repair Shops
Building strong relationships within the automotive recycling network is crucial. iCPM’s integrated Roster feature simplifies communication with your contacts. Instantly connect with other recyclers using iCPM and collision repair professionals who utilize Integrated Car Part Pro (iPro). The Roster’s search bar and saved contacts groups ensure you can quickly find and connect with the right people when you need to sell your car parts or source inventory.
To further enhance your communication efficiency, iCPM offers preset message buttons. These customizable buttons allow you to send frequently used phrases with a single click, saving you valuable time and ensuring consistent messaging. Whether it’s a quick greeting like “Hi, how can I help you?” or standard policy information such as “Our standard warranty is 30 days,” preset messages streamline your interactions and help you respond faster to inquiries, ultimately aiding in your efforts to sell your car parts.

Capture Sales Directly from Your Online Listings with Live Chat
In today’s digital marketplace, customers expect instant responses and real-time interaction. iCPM’s Live Chat feature allows you to directly engage with potential buyers as they browse your online parts listings. Whether customers are searching on Car-Part.com, Car Part Pro, Trading Partners, or even your own website, Live Chat connects them to you immediately. This instant communication is a game-changer when it comes to converting online interest into actual sales and effectively sell your car parts.
For customers on Car-Part.com, the Live Chat operates seamlessly within their browser, providing a convenient and user-friendly experience. On your end, all Live Chat messages are consolidated within iCPM, allowing you to manage all inquiries from one central platform. Crucially, each incoming chat message includes the customer’s search details. This means you immediately know what part they are looking for, enabling you to provide targeted and efficient assistance from the very first message, dramatically increasing your chances to sell your car parts.

Streamline Part Sales with Efficient Request Management
The “Sales” tab in iCPM is specifically designed to help you efficiently manage and respond to part requests from other recyclers, making it easier than ever to sell your car parts within your network. Functioning like a dedicated email inbox for parts requests, the Sales tab provides a clear overview of all incoming requests. You can easily track which requests are new, quickly respond to make a sale, and maintain organized records of all conversations related to each part.
iCPM allows you to review past conversations associated with each request, ensuring you have all the necessary context before replying. The ability to flag requests for later review is another valuable organizational tool, helping you prioritize and follow up on promising leads. While the Sales tab offers the most streamlined approach to managing requests, iCPM also provides the flexibility to view these same requests in a traditional sales room format, catering to different user preferences. Whether you prefer a focused inbox view or a broader sales room perspective, iCPM provides the tools to efficiently sell your car parts through request fulfillment.

Capture More Leads with Real-Time Part Verification
For recyclers listing parts on Car Part Pro, iCPM offers the powerful Real Time Part Verification feature. By including a “Confirm Availability” button on your Car Part Pro listings, you empower potential buyers, such as body shops and insurance adjusters, to instantly verify part availability directly from your listings. This real-time interaction significantly enhances lead generation and helps you proactively sell your car parts.
When a customer clicks “Confirm Availability,” iCPM immediately alerts you through the “Verify” tab with a detailed notification. This notification provides crucial sales lead information, including part specifics, customer type and contact details, price breakdown, and any message they included with their verification request. Each verification notification is a highly qualified sales lead, giving you a direct opportunity to connect with motivated buyers and efficiently sell your car parts.

Efficiently Find and Price Parts for Sales and Acquisitions
Whether you are looking to source a specific part to fulfill a customer order or need to accurately price your existing inventory to sell your car parts competitively, iCPM’s “Interchange” tab provides the tools you need. Start by entering the year, model, and part you are interested in and click “Lookup.”
iCPM then allows you to select the appropriate interchange number for precise part identification. From there, a range of powerful actions are available at your fingertips:
- View interchange application: Understand the full range of vehicle applications for a specific part, ensuring accurate matching and broadening your sales potential.
- Search vendor inventory: Launch a Trading Partners search directly from iCPM to quickly check the inventory of vendors and other recyclers, facilitating informed pricing decisions and competitive sourcing.
- Broadcast part requests: Effortlessly send out a request for a part to a targeted sales room or the broader Bulletin Board, expanding your sourcing options when you need to acquire parts to fulfill orders and sell your car parts. All broadcast requests are automatically saved in your “Buy” tab for easy tracking of responses and efficient follow-up.
- Send private requests: For a more targeted approach, directly send a private request for quote to specific contacts or groups of recyclers within your Roster, maintaining control over your inquiries and fostering direct relationships for sourcing and sales opportunities.
