car is an attribute modern man. It's hard without him these days. Some people even refuse to go to the store if their car is being repaired. Alas, vehicles break down very often, therefore, car repairs are now more relevant than ever. Moreover, even an excellent Hyundai Santa-Fe, only bought in a salon, can break down on the way home from this very salon - this is exactly what happened to my friend. This proves very handily that people need all sorts of service stations, as well as auto parts stores, because without them their cars would be in the garage with oily engines, leaking siphons, cracked crankshafts and ... well, you understand.

Analysis of the market for the sale of spare parts

First of all, let's discuss the obvious thing - market analysis. In particular, this analysis will help us determine which store specialization is better to open. For example, we need to open a store where spare parts for cars of the Russian automobile industry will be sold, or it is still better to give preference to a spare parts store for foreign cars.

It is quite obvious that in Russia (in any city) there are the most cars of the Russian industry. Usually this is a VAZ, which breaks down very often (no offense to the Russian manufacturer). I myself had such a car, and 60% of the time I owned it was under repair. It may seem logical to open such a store, but you are not the only one so literate. Perhaps this niche is already occupied in your region, so there is no point in opening something like this. There are 2 options:

1. Look for another region where there is no such business yet;
2. Engage in the sale of spare parts for foreign cars.

Most likely, it is better to sell spare parts for Korean cars such as Hyundai, Kia, Chevrolet, etc. Despite the popularity of VAZ models, more and more people no longer prefer to buy these cars. Now Korea supplies very high quality cars to the Russian market, but they cost a little more than VAZ models. There is a possibility that soon all sorts of frets there will fade into the background, and the market will largely belong to Korean concerns. These machines are also in need of repair and spare parts for them are very much in demand. Therefore, by opening a spare parts business that is more focused on Korean transport, you definitely will not lose.

Registration of a spare parts business and search for premises

To decide on the form of business registration, you need to compare 2 possible options. You can open an LLC or register as individual entrepreneur. The second option is more convenient, because. IP registration is carried out quickly, it requires little money, and even a child can handle bookkeeping here (well, in a figurative sense). With an LLC, everything is much more complicated, but as far as I know, the income of an individual entrepreneur must, by law, be less than the income of an LLC. In any case, for starters, it is better to open an IP, then see for yourself.

Finding a room is a real headache. It makes no sense to sell spare parts somewhere in the wilderness, because. getting there is difficult. The location of the store near the car wash, tire shop or other automotive services is appropriate. The best option is on the roadway. Each driver, willy-nilly, and pay attention to the store, passing by. Perhaps you have other options for choosing a better place?

Buying commercial real estate is expensive these days. It’s cheaper to rent or lease it – it’s up to you how lucky you are. Later, if the business really goes up, it can be completely redeemed. At a minimum, the area of ​​the store should be 50 square meters. and more. You also need to provide a place for a warehouse - some auto parts are very large overall. The presence of commercial equipment in the store goes without saying.

Store assortment

What breaks down most often in Korean-made cars? If you believe the statistics, then the chassis suffers the most, because. roads in Russia and Ukraine are far from being of the best quality. The Koreans make the engine with a bang, and the Russian VAZ can only be envied. Therefore, first of all, spare parts for the chassis are needed. Then you can order valves, timing belts and other elements that ensure the operation of internal combustion engines. Last but not least - materials for the interior of the car.

It should be noted the possibility of organizing a business on used spare parts. To do this, you can always organize a service for receiving such spare parts, i.e. their ransom. By buying cheap, you can always sell spare parts for 20-30% more, which will bring additional profit.

Business personnel

2 salesmen who are very knowledgeable about car mechanics - that's all the staff you need. You can do business and organize yourself. Whether an accountant is needed is hard to say, because. Doing bookkeeping isn't that hard. However, if finances allow, then you can also hire an accountant - he will not have to work very much.

Finance

It is difficult to calculate exactly how much money you need to start a business selling spare parts. For this, there are special companies that will offer you a complete plan for money. I can only estimate an approximate figure - 1 million rubles. The payback period, according to the source (where I got the article from), will be 1-1.5 years. Basically, not a very long time.

- this is a valuable purchase, which, if it breaks, is sure to be repaired. No one is immune from accidents and collisions. In addition, the car needs a scheduled replacement of filters, tubes, pads or candles. Therefore, to purchase Supplies, parts and accessories profitable to open auto parts stores.

The shops are popular with motorists. Here they look for the necessary spare parts and parts, come for answers to questions regarding car breakdowns, and look after car cosmetics and accessories. People go to the store for additional materials, paint, moldings, covers, flooring and alloy wheels.

1. There is always a demand for spare parts. Every motorist visits a car shop at least once a year and buys something. How many motorists are in each city?
2. The choice of goods for sale is unlimited. It is not necessary to trade specialized parts. Cars require maintenance, so it is worth selling auto cosmetics. Each vehicle requires winter tires, antifreeze and brake fluid.
3. An auto parts store does not require a large initial investment. If you do not have start-up capital, but you understand cars and want to sell parts, then you can do it from home or via the Internet.
4. The downside is the competition. There are many who want to sell spare parts, so the right organization, a reasonable trade policy and constant research of the situation in the auto parts market are required. Let's talk about certain subtleties that will help implement.

How to open an auto parts store from scratch and take goods for sale?

Start working on order, or take spare parts for sale. To do this, you need to understand cars, the quality of spare parts, know the demand and have reliable suppliers, best of all, manufacturers that produce proven spare parts or materials. Open an online store and trade items through it.

In this case, you do not need a huge sum of money. You will be ordered a part, you will buy it from a supplier and resell it. The markup on spare parts is your earnings. It is important at this stage to have conscientious suppliers, trade in quality parts and gradually build up a customer base.

In this mode, you will have to work for at least a year to earn a reputation, create a circle of customers who trust you, and save money for a spare parts store. But, by the opening of the store you will come with a store of experience, a customer base and good suppliers.

By the opening of the store, you will know what is best to trade and what is in demand in the region. In the business plan, note what can be sold and at what margin. trade, and what positions you will enter later. List the assortment that must be present on the shelves, and how to replace the sold parts.

Identify a category of constantly selling accessories or auto cosmetics, the sale of which brings a stable, albeit small, profit. Choose the direction of trade, estimate the demand, depending on the cars used in the area. Calculate how much profit you will make if you sell at least half of the goods.

Chat with the owners of auto shops and workshops. Find out what is in short supply and what parts are constantly taken. Negotiate with auto repair shops to advise them to take parts from you, or the masters themselves will begin to directly purchase parts in your store. But for this, you must guarantee and constantly monitor the quality of the assortment.

Mandatory business registration

To open a store, it is not necessary to open a legal entity. Register, as well as register with the tax authorities. As an individual entrepreneur, you will be able to rent, build or buy premises for a store and obtain the necessary permits from inspection services for the organization of trade. Documents can be collected by yourself or entrusted to lawyers.

1. Location. The store is best located along roads, car workshops or gas stations through which a large flow of people passes. So, you will provide spare parts for passing by or random drivers who find themselves in an emergency on the road.
2. Room. Divide the store area into zones: a reception area, where you will place counters with goods, a recreation area and a storage room with stored spare parts and components. The size of the zones depends on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room and the number of assortment.
3. Direction. Decide which parts you will focus on in trading, or decide which of the accessories you will start trading.

The direction of sales directly affects the assortment. Choose reliable suppliers, go for the goods yourself or make deliveries from enterprises. Create a choice of spare parts depending on the price, do not exclude cheap analogues, but warn about the difficulties of operation. Don't forget about quality and durability.

Teach the staff to navigate the assortment and, first of all, understand what each item sold is needed for, its features and quality. People often come to the store to look, consult or ask, so choose friendly, sociable and sociable staff. Introduce an incentive system for sellers to get them interested in selling.

Tell your customers about the store. Therefore, it is worth organizing the right advertising campaign.

• Order advertising on television or in newspapers. Do not forget to indicate the main feature of the store. For example, you trade in domestic or, conversely, only imported spare parts, sell Japanese auto cosmetics or red antifreeze at a discount.
• Hand out paper advertisements, put up ads around the city and spend money on billboards along the roads.
• Create a website on the Internet. Post messages about the arrival of a new product, discounts, promotions or reductions in price. Sell ​​spare parts through the store on the Internet, take orders and increase your clientele.

It is not necessary to have a lot of money to open an auto parts store, there is the Internet for this, and it is easy to turn one point into a retail chain with a range of products for motorists. The main thing is the desire and interest in cars, which will help you realize the idea and start selling auto parts.

The goods can be taken from suppliers for sale after some time, when they get to know you better and trust you.

Good luck to you!

Similar business ideas:

Nowadays, almost every family has a car, and the number of car owners is growing steadily from year to year. This trend will continue, despite the situation in the economy. It is not difficult to guess that in proportion to the growth of cars on the roads, the demand for spare parts will also grow. Thus, opening an auto parts store can be a good investment and a guarantee of a stable income.

Despite the existing competition, there is enough space under the sun for absolutely everyone. Investment in this business can be
the most minimal - to open a business, it is initially enough to have 200-300 thousand rubles, while income can be up to 110%.

Where to begin?

It is desirable that a person who decides to open an auto parts store, well versed in the product and trade features. Otherwise, you will have to rely on suppliers and involved specialists, which is a rather big risk.

First of all, you should analyze the market: find out if there is a demand for spare parts, what is in great demand, and so on. Decide on the specialization of your auto parts store.

It is important to identify distinguishing feature opening store, so that it is somewhat different from competitors. So, you can specialize in domestic car models. The assortment must be considered in advance at the planning stage.

For cooperation with legal entities (large car depots, taxis). This is also important if you do not want to stop at one store and plan to open branches and other stores in the future.

The next steps are the selection of premises, the order of office equipment, the selection of personnel, the choice of a supplier of goods, and the preparation of a cost estimate (business plan). They are very important, so we will talk about these points in more detail.

If there are financial opportunities and if the premises allow, a car wash, tire fitting and an auto parts store can be combined and opened in one place.

Room selection

The area of ​​the premises should be determined by the chosen store format, as well as the available capital. If finances are limited, you should not look for large areas. For starters, you can open a retail outlet for 15-25 square meters. m. and work by appointment. It makes no sense to create a large warehouse of auto parts with limited capital.

So just allocate an area for storing the most popular product and that will be enough. So, in any store, brake pads, candles, oils, oil filters, light bulbs, etc. are in demand. Other spare parts - by order through the catalog.

Finding a store near the station Maintenance would be ideal. In this case, there will always be customers, unless the station has its own departments retail. The ideal situation is if even before opening the store you understand who your potential customers are.

Also good places for an auto parts store are shopping centers in crowded places office centers or detached buildings in a residential area of ​​the city. Do not consider high rent premises, even if they are located in the city center.

At first, the store may operate at a loss, and high rents will only spoil your mood and place a heavy burden on your shoulders. It is important that there are no stores nearby with a similar assortment as yours. And lastly, try to find a place with a parking facility equipped for customers.

Selection of assortment and supplier for the store

If we talk about the assortment, you can only sell specialized auto parts, or you can work with both foreign and domestic spare parts. The demand for domestic spare parts is still higher, since there are more domestic cars in our country. In the case of the Russian assortment, it is easier to calculate the minimum configuration.

When choosing a supplier, compare prices and only then make a choice. Compare prices with your competitors, if they differ greatly not in your favor, look for other suppliers. It is desirable to have several partners, this is the key to the stability of the store.

Official dealers do not offer counterfeit products, so it is better to choose them. In cooperation with official manufacturers of spare parts companies, it will be possible to use on your sign the logos of the cars for which you sell spare parts. Your reputation will largely depend on the reliability of the supplier and his work, so before entering into a contract, be sure to read reviews about him on the Internet.

Advertising and marketing

In addition, you can distribute business cards, print in the advertising pages of newspapers, specialized publications, hold exhibitions, and so on.

Staff

It is unlikely that you will be able to work seven days a week seven days a week. Try to find an experienced salesperson who knows the design of cars and is good at selling merchandise. He must not only know the available assortment, but also visually represent it. It is also important to be able to maintain a conversation, help solve problems and find the right detail.

Auto parts store business plan calculation

You will have a lot of expenses, and you definitely need to draw up a business plan. It is needed in order not to miss anything and clearly identify upcoming expenses. An example list of expenses would look like this:

• registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC;
• the cost of renting the premises;
• purchase of goods;
• sellers salary;
• store equipment;
• advertising;
• taxes.

Online auto parts store

Opening an online store will help attract additional customers and simplify the task of finding suppliers.

All that is required is to create a website, add an assortment to a single database and update information daily. If you create a database yourself, you will have to scan manufacturers' catalogs, recognize texts and create a single format.

Opening an online auto parts store is not much different from. You will need a website and advertising.

At first, neither an office nor a warehouse is needed - this is the main advantage over an offline store.

If you already have a store, then you can get additional customers from the Internet.

Auto parts trading in Russia is a highly profitable business, the success of which is accompanied by several factors. The number of car owners is growing year by year, it is always necessary to maintain the "iron horse" in a technically sound condition, wear and tear of various parts and mechanisms constantly occur.

A stable income for the owner of an auto parts store is facilitated by the love of our motorists for their offspring, which goes beyond all boundaries. They are ready to get the necessary parts for crazy money, if only the “swallow” runs like new and is in no way inferior to the neighbor.

Such observations are pushing many businessmen to think about how to come to grips with the trade in auto parts. Immediately before them the question arises: how to open an auto parts store? What are the nuances to consider so that the business does not burn out? Let's figure it out.

Where to begin?

Conduct market research

Explore the car market in your area

It is important to know the brands of cars that are in demand in a particular city or area. Find out which cars the locals prefer: domestic or imported. According to research data, in large cities premium foreign cars predominate, in the provinces the share of imported and domestic cars is almost the same. Among foreign cars, budget variants of Chinese and Korean cars, used cars of European manufacturers are in demand.

Assess the solvency of future customers

A metropolis and a provincial town with a population of 150-200 thousand inhabitants usually mean different levels of income. Give priority to dynamically developing regions with developed infrastructure and good performance growth in gross income per capita.

Assess the market capacity

It is known that a fifth of the inhabitants of the Russian Federation has their own car. When 150-200 thousand people live in the town, the number of cars will be about 30 thousand. Considering that the population density decreases with distance from the capital, this figure will still be real: the niche is filled by residents of the surrounding villages who come to the city for spare parts for their cars. There is room for development.

Rate your competitors

Do not be lazy, get acquainted with the stores of your competitors. Evaluate their location, assortment, niche that each of them occupies in the market, price level and bonus system, if any, facade design, interior, types of advertising that they use. Of course, in a large city, this project is quite difficult to implement. But, in medium and small cities, a visual inspection of retail outlets can really be done in 1-2 days. Addresses of car dealerships are easy to find on the Web. After analyzing the work of competitors, you will understand what to focus on.

Choosing a location for an auto parts store

In large cities, it is desirable to locate a store in the center, where there are always many owners of expensive foreign cars. Convenient access roads are required.

On the periphery, the options for locating the future trading enterprise are different. If you decide to open an auto parts store for foreign cars, the central part of the city, where the offices of large companies, banks, government agencies, where the public gathers with money, will be the right place. The "Red Line" with a dense flow of cars is always attractive for locating business facilities.

Another option is to create a similar business project on the outskirts, next to which there is a busy highway. Your shop window should be noticed by every motorist passing by. Only then will you have clients.

Business plan

After studying the market of this region, draw up a detailed business plan for opening an auto parts store. Contact an intelligent economist who will develop a detailed business plan, taking into account your opinion and the specifics of a particular city, district or region. If you do not have enough own funds at the time of preparation for the opening of the shopping complex, contact the credit department of the bank. Credit funds without a clear action plan and detailed calculations will not be provided to you.

Important: this detailed description the preparatory process is necessary in order for the businessman to take the possible risks seriously and realistically assess the prospects for opening another auto parts store in the region of his choice. It's no secret that some businesses fail. The main reason is the neglect of market capacity research and self-confidence.

Yes, it's hard work. Be prepared to work around the clock at first. The better you test the ground, the more accurate your decisions will be. It's not enough just to say: I want to open an auto parts store. You need to make an effort, show interest - and the costs will pay off.

prospects

You conducted a preliminary market analysis and decided that there is a free niche. What does the auto parts business promise?

This business is profitable. The gross margin ratio ranges from 25 to 75%. What does it mean? After deducting all costs from the amount of revenue, you still have a decent profit. Having invested about 1.5 million rubles in your business, with a well-organized trading process and a sufficient number of buyers, you can receive up to 300 thousand rubles every month. arrived. The investment will pay off within a year.

Are these numbers real? Certainly! The sales margin is often 20-100%. Remember how much parts cost. Their owners spend up to 15 thousand rubles a year on car maintenance. Spare parts account for a significant share of the costs. Multiply 30,000 motorists in a provincial town by 15,000 rubles. Get about 400 million. A few million from the total pie is really to grab.

Preparation of documentation

What documents are needed to open an auto parts store? The package is standard.

Your steps:

1. Checkout entrepreneurial activity. Get a certificate of state registration legal entity. If you do not plan to carry out large wholesale deliveries of parts and components, (IP).
2. Get the codes from the State Statistics Committee. First of all, spare parts.
3. Contact the tax office and get a certificate for tax registration.
4. Conclude agreements: on the lease of the selected premises and on garbage disposal.
5. Get a fire inspection opinion that your store complies with fire safety requirements.
6. Pay for a patent to open an auto parts store.

Financial expenses

The initial capital is at least 1.6 million rubles. Components:

• payment for the lease of premises - 40 thousand rubles. monthly;
• commodity stocks in the warehouse and on the trading floor - 1 million rubles.
• purchase of commercial equipment (racks, shelves, showcases), computer equipment, connection to the Internet, arrangement of the premises and its repair - up to 500 thousand rubles;
• staff salaries (two salesmen, accountant). Monthly from 40 thousand rubles;
• utility bills - up to 15 thousand rubles;
• other expenses (advertising, promotions, stationery, contingencies) - up to 100 thousand rubles.

The size of the trade margin is set by the owner based on a comparison of this value with competitors. By lowering prices a little, you will increase sales. The minimum markup is 25%. Often sellers increase the markup to 40-50% or more.

Recruitment

Get ready for the fact that at first the duties of the director, purchasing manager (purchaser) will be performed by you yourself. There is a positive side to this. You will not only save on the fund wages, but also delve into all the subtleties of the business.

Required state:

• sales assistant (2 people). Salary level - from 15 thousand rubles. per month. Increases the quality of work and interest piecework wages: rate (from 5 thousand rubles) + percentage of sales;
• accountant. Until the sales volume reaches the planned level, use the services of an invited specialist. Salary - from 5-6 thousand rubles. per month.

Requirements for sellers:

• knowledge of the entire range of spare parts offered for sale;
• it is desirable to have your own car so that the consultant can give practical advice on the replacement of parts (if the buyer hesitates when choosing) or offer an alternative option;
• grammatically correct speech. If the seller is well versed in the device of the car, can “from and to” advise the client, then at first you can turn a blind eye to vernacular or insufficient knowledge of terminology. But, a specialist who does not want to improve the level of literacy, after a while, will begin to annoy some clients. The culture of speech must be developed necessarily.

Auto Parts Suppliers

Reliable suppliers are a guarantee of successful operation of the enterprise. If you have friends who supply auto parts, great. If not, look for supplier addresses on the Internet. Read reviews about them, collect more information.

Specify:

• delivery details;
• payment procedure;
• guarantees;
• availability of bonuses and discounts.

Where to buy auto parts?

Options:

• from intermediaries;
• directly from the manufacturer.

The second option involves lower prices. At the same time, intermediaries for regular customers establish a system of discounts and offer bonuses for the volume and number of orders. When purchasing large quantities of goods, the benefits can be significant.

• after studying the market, decide: you will open a company store selling spare parts of one brand of car or offer customers parts for cars of various brands;
• perhaps you will occupy a niche of spare parts for foreign cars or domestic cars, Japanese, European or American cars;
• dumping is a good option. But, don't overdo it with price cuts. Competitors will become angry, and buyers will begin to doubt the quality of the products supplied. Better - small discounts, but with each purchase. A cumulative bonus card for regular customers is a rational solution;
• place information about the store on billboards, banners along the roads so that the car owner’s eyes catch on while traveling. Distribute brochures and flyers. Newspaper is not the best option. Over time, testimonials from satisfied customers will be your best (and free) advertisement.
• do not spare the money to buy or rent a car to deliver spare parts to the garage or to the client's home. "Gazelle" is an acceptable option. Fast delivery is a definite plus in your piggy bank.
• ensure the availability of popular, in-demand spare parts in stock;
• organize the work according to the catalog;
• create a website for your online store. Sales volumes will increase. Keep in mind that additional investment will be required. In this case, fast delivery of goods is an important condition for the positive image of your company.

Consider the recommendations that will help you open an auto parts store from scratch. A good strategy, perseverance, flair, quick response to fluctuations in demand will help bring your trading company among the best in the region.

If you want to start a profitable and stable business, we recommend that you open an auto parts store. Spare parts are always needed - the number of cars in Russia is growing, and the quality of roads is constantly falling. With the right approach to business, you can quickly recoup all investments made and even create a whole chain of stores.

Introduction

Despite the outbreak of the crisis, there were no fewer cars on the roads. Few people switched to public transport - people continue to drive private cars as before. Some employees have even increased the number of trips - more meetings and consultations are needed to maintain the desired level of sales of goods.

Even those who have been directly affected by the crisis do not put the car on a joke - they simply reduce the number of trips. But if something happens to the car, they will definitely repair it. And for repairs, spare parts are always needed. Let's figure out what start auto parts business and what is needed for this.

How to start

First of all, study your competitors. Surely in your locality there are shops selling spare parts. Visit them, consider the range of products and prices, opening hours and location. Think about how to get local service stations and car repair shops interested in buying parts from you. Perhaps you can offer them preferential prices or short delivery times.

The auto parts store is a fairly profitable and interesting business. Initially, you will not have many customers - out of habit, people will go to buy spare parts in trusted stores. But if you trade competently, sell only high-quality spare parts and arrange various promotions, then you will quickly fill your customer base. And yet — people buy parts all the time. There will be no such principle as in an electronics store when a person makes one purchase every 2-3 years. The car is constantly in need of spare parts.

Types of spare parts stores

Shops selling spare parts fall into two broad categories:

1. Internet shops.
2. classic stores.

Classic stores are also divided into several types. Some are engaged in the sale of spare parts exclusively on order, the second have their own warehouse and showcase, and others sell only parts for certain types of cars.

For a small parts store, it is usually enough to register a regular IP. This will allow you to save on taxes and quickly submit reports without unnecessary headaches. If you want to open a large store, conclude contracts for the supply of spare parts to well-known service stations, etc., then it is better to choose an LLC. This will allow you to get more customers, but will increase your tax rate.

Your store should have everything from oils to tires

Requirements for the premises

Any cost of starting a business can be divided into two types:

1. Permanent (salaries, taxes, rent, purchase of goods, repairs).
2. One-time (purchase of premises, equipment, registration and furniture costs).

One of the main expense items will be the building for your store. If you plan to open a full-fledged establishment, then you need to find a room with a size of 50 m2 (preferably at least 80 square meters), which should be divided into a warehouse, a trading floor and a staff room. It is best if the premises are located near a car wash or car services, near garage cooperatives, near a major highway or in residential areas. The building must have running water, sewerage, electricity, ventilation and a fire alarm system. The best option would be a room with two entrances: customers will come through the main one, goods will be imported through the back one. There should be at least a minimum amount of parking in front of the building itself. From the equipment you will need strong racks, showcases and racks.

For accounting, you will need a computer with appropriate software, internet, telephone and furniture.

Online store

An online store allows you to organize a business with minimal investment. To do this, you only need an office (you can even work from an apartment). You will save on:

1. Rent.
2. Personnel.
3. Public services.

Many novice businessmen open an online store and resell spare parts by buying them in classic stores. This is the wrong approach that will not bring you serious profit. It’s more correct to buy the most popular goods on your own and ship immediately after placing an order, rather than running around the city looking for the right part.

An online store can significantly expand the list of your customers.

Some warehouses allow you not to buy goods, but to take them for sale. This is a great option for online stores.

let's consider how to open an auto parts store from scratch and take goods for sale without investing in it.

You will need a website that you can order from freelancers or create yourself on numerous free engines. Then you will need to promote it in search engines for given key queries. After that, you will have real visitors who will place orders, and you will send them goods. To take it for sale, you need to agree with suppliers . Usually they give goods for sale, subject to a monthly return of a certain amount to them. If you go for it, you can significantly save on investments.

But usually an online store is opened not as a separate business, but as an addition to an existing one. When you have an active parts store, you will open your website in order to attract a large number of customers.

Staff and assortment

You will need:

1. Shop assistant.
2. Administrator-accountant.
3. Loader-cleaner.

At the initial stages, you can perform the role of administrator and accountant. In this case, you only need a seller, who can also become a loader. But in the future it is necessary to hire people for this work.

To select an assortment, you need to decide what exactly you will sell. Perhaps you will focus on domestic cars. Or for trucks. Or any specific brand. You should always have in stock all spare parts and consumables:

1. Motor oils and other technical liquids.
2. Ball joints, gaskets, various rubber bands, etc.
3. Optics.
4. Tires, wheels.
5. Glass.
6. Spare parts for chassis repair (shock absorbers, springs, struts, etc.).
7. Candles, screws, wipers, pumps, first aid kits, etc.

In order to successfully compete with competitors, it is necessary to set prices by 5-10 percent less by organizing high-quality delivery of spare parts on order. You should have both original spare parts and “analogues” in your assortment - people often buy cheaper goods.

A separate building will allow you to open an additional business - a car wash or tire fitting

Suppliers

Where to find suppliers? On the Internet, in newspapers, in the media. You need to select several quality sellers who will not only offer the right assortment, but also guarantee that delivery times will be met. If you constantly miss the deadlines, then the number of customers will drop sharply.

Advertising

You can promote the store even before it opens. Launch an advertising campaign with flyers, banners, streamers. Focus on a good assortment, affordable prices, discounts, minimum delivery times. Hold various promotions and contests, make yourself a good sign, create groups on social networks and topics on local forums. Offer a discount to regular customers, make small discounts for pensioners and students - you need to bet on regular customers.

Profitability

In this article, we present only an example auto parts store business plan , since everything is highly dependent on location and many other factors. To open a standard store with an area of ​​80 m2, equip it and fill it with goods, you will need about 2 million rubles. Profit for the year with the right approach will be at least 1.4 million rubles, that is, the store will pay off in about 15 months and after that it will begin to bring you additional profit.

In order to raise income, you can organize a car wash or service station near the car dealership. This business has excellent prospects for development, and the profit will be constant and high!
