Mitchell Broadens Canadian Alternate Parts Network

Mitchell, a frontrunner in innovative automotive solutions, has recently expanded its Canadian alternate parts network by partnering with several new suppliers. This strategic move allows Canadian automotive insurers and collision repairers utilizing Mitchell Cloud Estimating to seamlessly access critical information regarding vehicle parts availability, pricing, and delivery times from leading recycled parts providers. These partners include Carcone's Auto Recycling, JS Truckmart, Keystone Automotive Industries, Millers Auto Recycling, Pièces d'autos Fernand Bégin, Pro Auto Recyclers, and Standard Auto Wreckers.

With this expansion, Mitchell significantly enhances options for sourcing alternate parts, which enables carriers and repairers to find more affordable and sustainable alternatives to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. Alex Landau, Director of Product Management at Mitchell, emphasized the commitment to a broad network that adheres to rigorous standards for parts grading and inventory oversight. He mentioned that integrating these new suppliers further enriches the flexibility for Canadian customers to procure high-quality replacement parts, ensuring repairs are done properly, safely, and promptly.

The Integrated Parts feature, also available in the U.S., acts as a vital add-on for Mitchell Cloud Estimating. It compiles both recycled and aftermarket parts information from North American suppliers into one smooth interface. By offering a real-time data feed, estimators can easily filter parts information and automatically include alternatives in collision damage estimates. As estimators compile their reports, they can view essential details like part types, pricing, images (when available), vendor names, delivery dates, lead times, and additional notes on parts—allowing for better management of repair timelines and supply chain challenges.

Furthermore, by joining the Integrated Parts network, these seven new suppliers, along with pre-existing partners, have the opportunity to share their parts inventories with a broader range of prospective insurance and repair facility clients. This capability minimizes the need for service calls by placing delivery information right at the fingertips of estimators and appraisers, greatly simplifying the process of sourcing parts.

Mitchell’s integration of these suppliers not only bolsters its demand for eco-friendly practices by promoting the use of recycled automotive parts but also reflects a growing commitment to efficiency in the automotive repair industry. As cost considerations become increasingly vital amid rising economic pressures, the importance of sustainable sourcing options is higher than ever.
