Tim Schneider, Executive Director Car Part Pro Marketplace, shares tips to drive part sales: "I have extensive experience in the auto recycling industry. I spent 20 years as general manager and then co-owner of Qwikparts in California. Now, I've been at Car-Part nearly as long, and I'm now the Executive Director of the Car Part Pro Marketplace. I've talked with thousands of insurers and shops, learning what they need in order to choose recycled parts. Today, I want to share some insights for British Columbia, gleaned from my experience on both sides of recycled parts sales."

Sourcing and buying expectations for recycled parts are being influenced by these general online buying experiences."
