The latest episode of the Rural Lifestyle Dealer Podcast series is now available. In this episode we're joined by Dan Weingartz, owner of Weingartz, about parts management and how to increase profits from parts. Weingartz is a 6-store dealership based in Michigan. Dan was a recent presenter at our Dealer Success Academy, our online, on-demand event.
Dan Weingartz shares some details about how they incrementally increase margins, and are smart about those strategies. For instance, he says, “You can’t get arrogant about pricing and think that people don’t have other options.” And, he says by increasing the profitability of your business, you can actually serve customers better by having more parts on hand as well as a better trained parts staff.
Accurate data, buying programs and experts are the pillars to his successful program. In fact, Dan says, “Parts are where the profits are and parts have always been the lifeblood of our business. It’s the biggest reason for us to be in the power equipment business.” Try some of his ideas to see if you can increase your parts profits as well.
