100% New
100% NEW brings value to shop owners and installers
Be a trendsetter
- Market Trend in Commercial Supports the Switch to New
- 78% professionally installed; the leading reason is complexity and positioning under the hood
- Starter/alternator labor per job has risen 50% in the past 10 years
- Alternators are now the second highest average shop ticket in $$
- Technicians are going back to OE to purchase new since aftermarket availability is limited
100% New Value Proposition
- 78% of starters and alternators are replaced professionally, so what’s in it for your Shop Owners?
- What's even better than ending the hassle of dealing with cores? - Extra Cash!
- Your commercial salesman: “We don’t want the core back, but you can keep and sell it for scrap. The average scrap value is $5 for a starter and $10 for an alternator”
- The Value!
Because WAI is the basic manufacturer, we are bringing NEW units to the market at competitive pricing. Our price for New is competitive with the market price for “premium” reman
Shop Owners have the option of upselling the consumer to a NEW replacement unit and increasing the average ticket value
It’s not just a part – it’s your reputation
Starters and Alternators have traditionally been a high warranty, double-digit return rate category. 100% new significantly reduces returns and keeps shop profits high.
