The moment

The quarter after a shop gets permission to charge for a part is when the parts accounts, the lifts, the shop software, the garage keepers policy and the online profile get chosen. Those don't change for years.

The Exploded View tracks new permits for mechanical, body, tire, glass, lube and wash shops. It tells you what kind of shop each one is, when it declared its first sale, and how many shops like it already sit in the county.

Who it's for

  • Parts distributors and jobbers
  • Lift, tire-machine, alignment and scan-tool dealers
  • Shop management, estimating and text-to-pay software
  • Garage keepers and garage liability agents
  • Paint and materials jobbers and glass distributors
  • Tool truck franchisees and shop-supply routes
  • Waste oil and environmental pickup services

What you get

  • Every repair, body, tire, glass, lube and wash shop permitted in your window
  • The kind of shop, from what it filed as
  • The declared first-sale date, and whether it's passed
  • How many shops like it are already in its county
  • National chains, franchises and dealer service departments taken out

The outcome

Your jobber sets up the wholesale account before the shop's settled on a parts supplier. Your tool truck route adds the stop in the shop's first month.

Questions buyers ask

Can I pull body shops only?
Yes. The kind of shop comes from what it filed as, so you can pull body, tire, glass, lube, wash or general repair on their own.
What does the county count tell me?
It's a read on how crowded the market is. A new tire shop in a county with forty others is a different call from one in a county with three.
Is a permit proof the shop has started?
No. It's permission to sell, dated. In the last pull, 1,280 of the 1,362 shops had already reached the first-sale date they declared.
