AutoPartsWarehouse.com app designed for growing population of DIYers and online parts purchasers who need easy, quick parts comparison and ordering

The AutoPartsWarehouse app, available in the iTunes and Android App Stores, provides quick access to a catalogue of over two million automobile parts and accessories, instant parts pricing/option comparisons and searches customized to only the parts that fit the consumer’s specific vehicle.

Carson, CA ––April 24, 2013 – With consumers reporting they are doing their own auto repairs to save money, and purchasing more parts online than three years ago for the same reason, [1] AutoPartsWarehouse.com has created a mobile app to make it even easier and faster for consumers to search for, order and save money buying auto parts, all while on-the-go. The AutoPartsWarehouse app, available in the iTunes and Android App Stores, provides quick access to a catalogue of over two million automobile parts and accessories, instant parts pricing/option comparisons and searches customized to only the parts that fit the consumer’s specific vehicle.

“Quick, convenient auto parts searching, ordering and tracking is critical to car owners when their vehicle is in need, whether they are doing their own repairs or purchasing parts for their mechanic to install. We designed the AutoPartsWarehouse app to empower car owners to do at the tap of a fingertip what previously could take hours of phone calls and trips to stores and dealerships,” said Shane Evangelist of AutoPartsWarehouse.com. “Plus, the app gives consumers finger-tip access to the cost-saving benefits of online parts purchasing which, we believe, is why over a quarter of a million consumers have already downloaded the app.”

The Auto Parts Warehouse app is free and once it is live on their smartphones, consumers can enter their vehicle’s information and the app will match their searches with the right parts for their car. Features include:

• Instant access to over 2,000,000 auto parts and accessories, to fit all domestic and foreign makes from top aftermarket manufacturers.
• Instant parts comparison shopping /pricing
• Fingertip order tracking
• Direct contact with customer service center
• Parts/vehicle order history
• Secure checkout through AutoPartsWarehouse.com or PayPal

Evangelist noted that the time for an auto parts app has come, citing an aging vehicle population, greater consumer comfort with shopping for parts online, and consumers doing more of their own auto repairs and/or intending to purchase parts to take into the repair shop for installation. According to recent reports [2]:

• 78% are buying more parts online than they were 3-4 years ago
• Over 60% believe they can realize a cost savings of 20% or more by purchasing parts online
• 42% of auto repair DIYers are doing more of their own auto repairs today than they were a year ago
• 70% surveyed said they would purchase a part for installation at the repair shop

Over 300,000 consumers have downloaded the Auto Parts Warehouse app to date. Here are a few of many positive reviews the app has received:
