You are a Distributor, an independent entrepreneur or an independent-minded business leader. You have sacrificed and worked long hours to create a business. You must protect and nurture it in order for it—and you—to succeed.

To achieve success, you need a good wholesale supplier, but not just any supplier.  You need a dedicated supplier, one you can trust, one who will guarantee your customers’ satisfaction. Automotive Service Products is that wholesale supplier.

Save BIG on our One-Stop-Shopping!

Instead of managing multiple suppliers in the same field, whittle your relationships down to a preferred supplier. Distributors who elect a One-Stop-Shop supplier gain huge benefits—and save money!  What benefits? See below. Don’t believe it? Google it!

Easier, Better, Lower-Cost Management

• $700-$1,400 – That’s your internal cost to source a new supplier, set it up, negotiate with it, and manage it ongoing. Consolidate and save!

Reduced Purchasing and Processing Costs

• $50 to $200 more or less – that’s the cost to process a single Purchase Order depending on salaries, systems, overhead, etc.
• 9.18% reduction in cost for general equipment and supplies when the number of suppliers is minimized (per top quartile of companies observed).
• Fewer invoices to process. It costs up to $14 to process one invoice, and 62% of the cost is labor, mostly associated with errors.
• Less time in supplier meetings, calls, and emails equals money saved.

Lower Shipping Costs

• Lower average shipping costs is a major benefit of our One-Stop-Shop. Often, this benefit alone is enough to justify one-stop-shopping.
• Which is more efficient? Handling, processing, and paying shipping on three boxes for three items, or one box with all three items? One-stop-shopping with ASP saves time and money for you and your customers.
• Warehouse and distribution facilities on both sides of the U.S.A. ensure shipping efficiency.
• With our complete line you can consolidate your #1 logistical expense: Shipping.

Improved Supplier Relationships

• Fewer suppliers translates into more time for you to focus on improving quality, efficiency, and overall performance.

Better Prices for You

• When a primary supplier gets a larger piece of your market share, he can buy or manufacture more efficiently and pass the savings on to you.

Better Vendor Effort

• With fewer suppliers, those remaining have more at risk and are more likely to work harder to keep your business.
